ITCH! kicked off last night at Dances With Films NY. Filmmaker Bari Kang (LUCKY, THE SCRAPPER) revealed his first full-on horror film on December 7th, marking a new twist in the zombie genre. Starring Bari Kang, Olivia Kang, and Patrick Michael Valley, this grim tale pushes the boundaries of what you expect from undead stories.
A deadly infection called “The Itch” spreads fast, turning victims into frantic and self-destructive shells. Jay, a widower struggling with loss, takes shelter in a department store with his estranged daughter. Paranoia, tension, and grim choices soon tear at their makeshift refuge. Staying alive means grappling with who to trust and what to sacrifice.
ITCH! sets out to unsettle, forcing viewers to ask hard questions about what we do to survive and who we become in the process.
It’s not just another entry in the zombie genre—it’s a striking new direction.
