The film follows a woman working in the tech industry whose carefully structured life begins to unravel after she starts experiencing inexplicable visions of a giant, enigmatic egg whenever she closes her eyes. As the visions intensify, they begin to bleed into her waking world, distorting her sense of reality and pulling her into an increasingly unstable relationship with the systems and screens that surround her. What emerges is a slow, creeping sense of dread—where the boundaries between the digital and the physical feel increasingly uncertain, and meaning itself becomes difficult to grasp.
Equal parts corporate satire, psychological horror, and metaphysical mystery, Egg is a striking and underseen entry in early 2000s techno-horror cinema, capturing a moment when emerging technologies felt both miraculous and deeply uncanny.
Paired with Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Pulse, this double feature traces two distinct but complementary visions of digital-age horror—films that transform the internet, technology, and invisible networks into spaces of isolation, haunting, and existential unease.
Film poster will be raffled off after the screening. Attendees can enter by purchasing a concession for $6 or more.
