Species

Margot starts her new position in the emergency room, where the department head demands everything from her residents. The stress and pressure to perform are immense; and Margot finds solace in her colleague Louis. But as more and more young patients arrive with mysterious symptoms—some of which even begin appearing on Margot’s own body—she starts to lose control. After Julia Ducournau and Coralie Fargeat, Marion Le Corroller is another French filmmaker soaring to the heights of A-list body horror: Species is a fast-paced, bloody, appropriately disgusting commentary on a generation running on stress and adrenaline.
