Synopsis

A mosquito lands quietly on the arm of a sleeping man. It begins to suck his blood so greedily and relentlessly that it swells up to a grotesque size and eventually bursts—a victim of its own unrestrained appetite.

Creators’ Statement: The Torment of the Night

If you’ve ever spent a night tormented by a stubborn mosquito, you’ll instantly understand and appreciate this film.

We’re sorry—but despite our love and respect for all living creatures, we just don’t like mosquitoes. This short is a moment of pure, absurd catharsis, giving the greedy pest a swift, self-inflicted end. It’s a tiny piece of revenge cinema designed for anyone who has ever battled an overzealous insect.
