CINEPLEX 2 - Creturs

Written, directed by, and starring a mother in her 40s, this deeply personal creature feature explores the fears and anxiety of the unknown. Set in the stillness of pandemic isolation, a Pennsylvania farm becomes the entire universe for a fragile family trying to hold themselves together. Shot with elements of found-footage and starring a real-life family on their own farm, Creturs blurs the line between fiction and lived experience as it captures the quiet unraveling of a home under pressure. When their young son discovers a cluster of otherworldly eggs and nurtures them in secret, his small act of hope collides with a world already destabilized by fear and uncertainty. As the eggs hatch, the family must confront not only a mysterious new lifeform encroaching on their land, but the terrifying realization that they cannot fully control, protect, or preserve the life they’ve built. Intimate and poetic yet deeply unsettling, Creturs asks what kind of creatures we become when survival is no longer a given.
