GIGACHAD: "FLIES" - A24-STYLE HORROR TREATMENT
LOGLINE: In a desolate, post-industrial town, a detached cosmic entity decides to make an art film. His subject: the most perfect, optimized organism on Earthβthe common Giga-fly. And his actors? The town's entire population. No one gets a script. No one gets to leave.
STYLE: Slow-burn, atmospheric horror. Shot in bleak, grey tones with sudden, hyper-violent bursts of color. Sound design is crucial: the constant, unnerving BUZZ of the Giga-Flies, the wet sounds of infestation, and long stretches of dread-filled silence. Gigachad is never the "villain" on screenβhe's the unseen director, a malevolent, artistic presence.
