Overrun

About This Movie

Overrun is a curious piece of animation, really. It takes the viewer on a descent into a bizarre underworld from the perspective of an ant, quite an unusual choice. The atmosphere is oddly unsettling, with sharp contrasts between beauty and danger woven throughout. Pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the eeriness of this miniature realm. The practical effects bring a tactile feel to the animated elements, and there’s a genuine sense of dread that hangs in the air. Themes of survival and existential dread are examined through this tiny creature's profound journey. It’s distinctive in how it immerses you in the ant’s perspective and the oddities of its environment.
