After the death of her best friend, a woman obsesses over their missing cat in Booger. Anna (Grace Glowicki) is a young woman grieving the death of her best friend Izzy (Sofia Dobrushin). While cleaning, Anna is bitten by Izzy’s grumpy cat Booger, who proceeds to jump out the window. To the concern of her boyfriend Max (Garrick Bernard) and others in her life, Anna begins obsessing over Booger’s disappearance, while also beginning to act strangely.
Booger Synopsis
Booger is the debut feature film from writer and director Mary Dauterman. The film stars Grace Glowwicki (Strawberry Mansion) as Anna, who is in a deep state of grief over the death of her best friend Izzy, played in video flashback by Sofia Dobrushin, to the point where she has been ignoring calls from work and her landlord. Anna begins obsessing over Izzy’s missing cat Booger and, presumably as the result of an infected bite, begins developing cat-like behaviours herself.
My Thoughts on Booger
Booger is probably a film that will become best known for its gross-out body-horror moments, such as Anna coughing up hairballs into toilets or devouring a can of cat food. However, the film is ultimately about Anna’s reluctance to give in to the grief over the death of her friend, using their missing cat as a distraction. Then there’s the very weird cameo by Heather Matarazzo (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Scream), which you probably wouldn’t be able to unsee.
