Gizmo

2024 | B/N | 77:44

An absurdist black comedy disguised as a police procedural in which the police methodically waste time and resources, look the other way, and never get anything done. Two events—the disappearance of a young woman inside a nature park and the bizarre death of a police chief—come together and begin to circle around a paranoid plot and a possibly supernatural mystery.
