‘Booger’: Arrow Brings Mary Dauterman’s Weird Girl Horror To Blu-Ray! [Exclusive]
Let’s hear it for the girls, because director Mary Dauterman‘s tale of codependency, grief, and cats, Booger, is coming soon to Blu-ray and ARROW! It’s a perfect film for us messy femmes who love a little too hard and grieve in what some may call “the wrong way”. But in Booger, there’s no judgment. Only hairballs.
In the film:
Anna, a young New Yorker, is consumed with overwhelming grief after the sudden death of her best friend and roommate, Izzy. Struggling to cope, Anna becomes fixated on finding Booger, the stray cat she and Izzy took in together. When she finally tracks the cat down, an unexpected bite to the hand triggers a bizarre and unsettling transformation, causing Anna to gradually take on more feline characteristics.
Now watch the new trailer:
With a unique blend of horror, humor, and heart, Booger transforms the mundane into the macabre, delivering a deeply human exploration of love, loss, and the strange ways we cope with pain.
Grace Glowicki stars as Anna and she positively shines as a codependent millennial with no worries about eating old pad Thai or missing work. Glowicki is currently in the indie genre spotlight with her latest effort Dead Lover, and Booger only further solidifies her spot as an iconic Weird Girl.
In her review of the film out of Fantasia 2023, Dread Central’s Emily Gagne wrote,
“Like picking your nose, Booger is a film that will work for some and make others wholly uncomfortable. It’s perfect programming for a festival like Fantasia, where audiences come to see all things strange and unusual. I just hope it finds a following outside the fest as well, mainly so Dauterman can get more chances to pick at our shared traumas.”
