"Where civilization ends... the nightmare begins!"
The wildest snowed-in creature feature from New Zealand that you've never heard of. ABERRATION follows a woman named May, hiding out in a remote cabin for unknown reasons, and her meet-cute with a nature field researcher investigating the strange extinction of small animals and insects in the area.
Feels like a particularly gnarly made-for-TV movie (and we mean that as a compliment), jumping between romantic comedy and good ol’ fashioned splatter. Aberration also features an extremely 90's soundtrack by Plan 9 and a few wild shifts in tone.
