August 2007. Isolated in his austere penthouse overlooking Central Park, obsessive Wall Street data analyst Richard Boca (Beau Knapp) sees ominous patterns: His computer models are behaving erratically, as are the swarms of mosquitos breeding in his apartment, an infestation that attends his psychological meltdown. On Wall Street, they're called "quants"--the intense data analysts whose mathematical prowess can make the difference between a fortune and a flop. Consumed with his work, Richard doesn't often stray from his office or apartment. But when Richard decides to go to a company party, he makes two acquaintances: the mysterious, sylphlike Lena (Charlotte Vega) and one pesky mosquito, both of which take root in his mind, altering his existence in profound ways.

It makes for an interesting experiment more than a satisfying movie.

What's really wrong with Richard is that he's a boring monster.

Borne along on the whine of insects and a lead performance of surpassing strangeness, "Mosquito State" is a disquieting merger of body horror and social commentary.

The slow, hypnotic vibe of the movie lends a dreamlike quality to the proceedings, even though by the end it feels like more of a nightmare.

Filip Jan Rymsza's Mosquito State is a stylish but pretentious attempt at body-horror as political allegory, too self-important to be fun, its social commentary (a la Candyman) too caricatured to be incisive.

2.5/5

Rymsza's approach to horror is startlingly personal, even if everything is simply far too mannered to resonate in a meaningful way.
