Directed by Luke Sparke (Primitive War) and written by Tom Evans, Scurry stars Emalia and Jamie Costa as two strangers who become trapped underground following a devastating attack on their city. Claustrophobia isn't all they have to contend with, as something is scurrying in the subterranean tunnels. The film is the latest in a recent wave of movies presented as a single unbroken take.
"At its heart, Scurry is about survival in an environment that turns against you," says Sparke. "The idea of being trapped, isolated, and pursued by something terrifying taps into primal fears we all share. I wanted to craft a story that is as much about the characters' emotional journeys as it is about the sheer pulse-pounding horror of their situation. Every shadow, every creak, every breathless moment is designed to pull the audience deeper into the chaos. Most importantly, I want Scurry to be an experience—one that sticks with you long after the credits roll. It's a love letter to the great monster movies of the past, but it also carves its own terrifying path forward. Buckle up, because this one’s going to be a wild ride."
Scurry is in US cinemas and on VOD from October 3rd. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.

The official synopsis reads:
When an unthinkable attack devastates their city, two strangers find themselves trapped beneath the chaos, wounded and disoriented. As they fight to survive in a narrowing underground tunnel, their injuries worsen, and their chances of escape dwindle. But the collapsing passageways aren’t their only threat—something else is lurking in the darkness, something relentless and hungry. Shot in real-time using a single continuous take, Scurry delivers a gripping, claustrophobic horror experience that will keep audiences on edge until the very last moment.
