Exclusive: Oats Studios’ Zygote Will Make You Claw Your Eyes Out In New Clip
As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been huge fans of Neill Blomkamp and his Oats Studios releases. They’re wildly unique, visually stunning, and demonstrate the incredible talent of a visionary director who can create cinematic magic with the right team.
We’ve seen this in Rakka, when humanity was on the brink of extinction due to an alien threat. Again in Firebase, which brought us an alternate Vietnam War. Tomorrow, July 12th, we will see more of Oats’ terrifying visions in Zygote.

To give you a taste of what’s to come, we’ve got an exclusive clip that is decidedly gory and most certainly NSFW. If you’re squeamish when it comes to eyes, you may want to avert yours.
Synopsis:
Set in the Arctic mine, two stranded lone survivors are forced to fight for their lives, evading and hiding from a new kind of terror.
The short follows Dakota Fanning and Jose Pablo Cantillo as two soldier-like figures at a scientific facility that has gone through a horrific disaster. As they move from one compound to the next, they are pursued by a chimera-esque creature that is an amalgamation of human body parts, all mutated together into something straight out of a nightmare.
What makes Blomkamp and Oats Studios’ offerings so exciting is that they aren’t constrained by studio interference. Rather, they have complete autonomy and creative freedom to bring to life whatever stories they see fit. That makes them one of the most exciting studios in operation these days and it cements Blomkamp and his team as visionaries who understand the risk of this undertaking but face it head on with innovative prowess and steadfast dedication.
The short will be released on YouTube and on their Steam Page on July 12th.
