Insectasy movie review from the Fantasia International Film Festival.
Written and directed by Angus Silver, INSECTASY follows Sadie, a woman overwhelmed by work, obligation, loneliness and an increasingly consuming erotic fascination with insects. The film blurs fantasy and reality as Sadie’s private desires begin disrupting the sterile world around her.
In this review, we break down the film’s unusual combination of erotic thriller, psychological horror and dark comedy, along with its dreamlike fantasy sequences, violet-soaked visual identity and deliberately uncomfortable exploration of desire, isolation and intimacy.
We also discuss Tirion Healy’s restrained performance as Sadie, the film’s insect-inspired sound design, its throwback 1970s influences, and the score from Tom Cepeda and The Rats that Drink Blood, with additional compositions by Solange Nelles.
INSECTASY stars Tirion Healy, Lyndall Huber, Jan Roeth, Emmett Roiko and Kelsey Thompson.
Written and directed by Angus Silver.
