Baby Invasion Poster Teases Harmony Korine’s Experimental Thriller

As a seasoned film enthusiast with a penchant for the avant-garde and the unconventional, Harmony Korine’s latest offering, Baby Invasion, has me utterly intrigued! The fusion of technology, art, and real-life experiences is a recipe that promises to deliver a cinematic experience unlike any other.


Harmony Korine unveiled the initial poster for his upcoming film, which hints at a storyline involving a home invasion carried out by individuals sporting baby-like features – a sneak peek into his next cinematic project.

What is Baby Invasion about?

The movie is categorized as an innovative, experimental thriller. It revolves around a narrative where intruders burglarize a house, presented from the perspective of one of the invaders. Interestingly, it’s designed to resemble a first-person shooter video game. Remarkably, the faces of the intruders are intentionally hidden, with Korine employing AI technology to substitute them with images of babies instead.

The movie “Baby Invasion” debuted at the Venice International Film Festival for the first time. During filming, director Harmony Korine captured more than 80 hours of footage for the project. Interestingly, the music score for this film was created by enigmatic electronic artist Burial – a fact that Korine revealed to Variety without ever having spoken or met with the artist while working on the soundtrack.

Just like his previous movie, Aggro Dr1ft, Baby Invasion follows a similar approach by eschewing traditional scripts and actors. Instead, the roles are played by individuals who, according to Korine, had previously committed home invasions. As he explained (via Variety), some of these cast members were individuals who attempted to rob several of his friends. After they were apprehended, Korine chose to cast them, thereby enhancing the film’s authenticity.

The synopsis for the movie reveals a first-person shooter game that’s been leaked on the dark web. A team of mercenaries with baby-like masks storm the lavish homes of the rich and influential. But here’s the twist: since players are streaming this game live, it’s unclear whether the grisly violence portrayed by the protagonists is merely part of the game or if it’s actually happening in reality.

No official release information is available for Baby Invasion as of yet.
