Yvonne has experienced something terrible. When an old friend invites her to the countryside, she readily accepts. Instead of quiet days alone together, however, she is thrown into forced socializing with other guests, excessive amounts of homemade food, and unfamiliar party games. Something feels off. The unease slowly intensifies – and in the nearby forest, a tick waits to bite.
Read moreThe True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick plays with horror elements without becoming outright frightening. Above all, it is tense, entertaining, and just uncomfortable enough, infused with fresh creativity.
Pete Ohs is an exciting filmmaker to watch, and Kosmorama presents both of his 2025 titles (Erupcja and this film) at this year’s festival.
