Bugboy
Synopsis
Alfie is twelve, quiet, and utterly fascinated by insects. To his classmates he’s simply called ”Bugboy”. A nickname that stings harder than any ant bite. Enduring frequent bullying at school, he uses his time at home to retreat into a world of bug memorabilia. But when the cruelty of others creeps into his home life, this pushes him to a breaking point. Alfie begins to unleash his pain into his beloved bug collection as his fascination morphs into something much darker. As his reality begins to distort, Alfie finds himself trapped in a looping nightmare. Familiar hallways twist into labyrinths. Deceased insects return, monstrous and towering. Time bends. Rooms reset. And Alfie is no longer sure whether he’s the captor or the captive.
