Two brothers, some costumes, and a desert escape that goes absolutely unhinged.
A desert-set 1990s period piece about two brothers who, with the help of some costumes, escape a lifetime of captivity.
Costume
Mascot suits as identity theft—absurd and genuinely unsettling.
Direction
Mondragon makes the desert feel like a fever dream you can't wake from.
Acting
Armie Hammer in full weirdo mode before everything else happened.
Director
Kerry Mondragon
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in actual 1990s-era desert towns where production found period-accurate decay rather than building it.
Part of a micro-wave of indie thrillers using mascot/performance horror to explore American economic collapse—think 'Tangerine' meets 'Buffalo '66' but sweatier.
