<\/em>Writer:<\/em><\/strong> Tom Evans
<\/em>Director:<\/em><\/strong> Luke Sparke
<\/em>Distributor:<\/em><\/strong> Signature Entertainment
<\/em>Release Date:<\/em><\/strong> October 3, 2025 (VOD)<\/em><\/p>\n

SCURRY<\/strong> takes place in real time. It is also made to look like it\u2019s shot in one continuous take, although viewers familiar with how these things are done will notice those helpful optical swerves into black walls and the like.<\/p>\n

SCURRY<\/strong> begins mid-catastrophe, as the upper floor of an office building shudders while workers try to flee and at least one is grabbed and bloodily killed by something we don\u2019t see.<\/p>\n

The camera then plunges out the window, past the pavement and into a deep hole, where Mark (Jamie Costa) is gradually regaining consciousness. He\u2019s injured, doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s happened, and is too far down to exit the way he evidently entered.<\/p>\n

Mark therefore tries to find another way out through a series of caves and tunnels beneath the city. He eventually encounters Kate (Emalia), a hostile young woman who has seen what\u2019s happening on the surface.<\/p>\n

Since this is obvious from the opening scene, it\u2019s not a big spoiler to say there are monsters roaming around.<\/p>\n

Director Luke Sparke and writer Tom Evans have put a fair amount of thought into how two very different people might react to this kind of immediate calamity. Realistically, there would be a lot of trial and error in attempting to leave the underground region.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the refusal to cut away and accelerate the action in any way means we have to go along with the characters as they repeatedly face the same types of frustrations and dead ends.<\/p>\n

This wouldn\u2019t be quite the problem it is if Mark and Kate were better company. Mark is okay, albeit unexceptional. Kate, however, is actively unpleasant. For no good reason, she is first mysterious about what she knows, which makes Mark and us think we\u2019re going to get some kind of explanation. No, she\u2019s just being difficult.<\/p>\n

The filmmakers want to build a redemptive arc for Kate, but it\u2019s too little, too late and too uninflected to have much impact.<\/p>\n

The monsters are good and varied when we see them; SCURRY<\/strong> would have benefited from more creatures.<\/p>\n

While SCURRY<\/strong> has its moments, it largely plays out more like a full-length moviemaking experiment than an actual full-length movie.<\/p>\n
