Strange Nature
Directed by James Ojala
A creature-horror thriller grounded in real ecological mystery, following a struggling mother and son as a small town confronts spreading biological mutations with unclear origins and escalating threat.
The first film to expose unsolved wildlife deformity outbreaks and where they may lead. Based on a true unsolved ecological mystery, thousands of hideously deformed frogs have turned up in the waters of Minnesota. As seen through the eyes of a one hit wonder single mother and her 11 year old son, a small town struggles with the unknown when the deadly mutations move beyond the ponds.
