In advance of Venice Fest premiere of Harmoy Korine’s big-screen experiment, Baby Invasion, press notes were distributed about the film’s message.

The message may make more sense after having seen the film, but it’s worth sharing now as the film hit the big-screen.

Described as an ultra-realistic, multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) game that plays as a surreal home invasion thriller, Baby Invasion follows a group of mercenaries.

They are using baby faces as avatars to conceal their identities. Tasked with entering mansions of the rich and powerful and leaving nothing behind, players must explore every rabbit hole before time runs out. Baby Invasion hails from Korine’s multimedia design collective EDGLRD and features an original score by Burial. The creative effort follows his last release, Aggro Dr1ft, which also premiered in Venice.

We are Duck Mobb. We are the crew. Beware of the Pale Horse.
Duck Mobb rides. Clicked up. Mobbed up. We are streaming to you live – from across the pond, from across the cities, from the trap houses, favelas, and hoods worldwide. Cartels, hackers, hired killers, scammers, cons, ex-military, militants, gang-certified world leaders – we are all connected. We speak out against the power structures. And now, we stream our crimes directly to you, the viewer.

We cover our faces with baby avatars to avoid detection, and the image is strong. We are baby-faced assassins – cute and cuddly but deadly.
We distort our voices because, otherwise, we have no voice.
We are the underclass. Duck Mobb is not to be trusted.
We are not your friends. We will rob, steal, and take at will.

Nobody is safe. We are just the flickering light.
