Showtimes & Tickets

Screened September 13–26, 2024

After her best friend Izzy unexpectedly dies in a bike accident, Anna struggles to put the pieces back together. Before she even has a chance to process, Booger (Izzy’s cat) escapes the Brooklyn apartment they used to share. As she turns her already unstable life upside down looking for him, a gnarly cat bite results in terrifying and surprising physical changes. Anna must face her grief head on before it consumes her completely. Eerie and strange, Booger toes the line between cringe-comedy and tragedy, taking viewers on a gross, surprisingly sweet journey.

The indie body horror equivalent of Lars von Trier’s Melancholia, doing for grief what the latter did for depression.”
