After the success of coronavirus Zoom nightmare Host, it was only a matter of time before more video call-based horror movies rolled out.
Next up is Bloat, a film that unfolds via video calls between a soldier and his family who are vacationing abroad in Japan. The problem? After almost drowning, one of their sons starts to exhibit some unusual symptoms — and the dad has to contend with things via ever-glitchy long distance technology.
Ben McKenzie and Bojana Novakovic star in writer/director Pablo Absento’s modern take on the found footage genre.
Bloat is in theatres and on demand from March 7.
