Haunting at the intersection between Filipino folklore and the growing US threats against bodily autonomy, Kristine Gerolaga’s MOSQUITO LADY, is the urgent burst of horror confrontation art that we need. Gerolaga nails it with gruesomely imaginative gusto, weaving a disturbing tale of a young Filipina American girl (Hanna Lorica) desperately frightened about telling her parents that she’s become pregnant. We’ll reveal no more, but whatever you might be expecting, rest assured that it’s not going where you think it is. – Mitch Davis
