Bugonia Launches In‑Universe ‘Human Resistance HQ’ as Oct. 24 Opening Nears

The immersive site pushes the film’s conspiracy satire into the real world as early reviews praise the cast and flag a deliberately harsh tone.

Overview

  • An official in‑universe website, Human Resistance HQ, mimics lo‑fi early web pages with conspiracy lore about Emma Stone’s CEO character and offers sign‑ups for advanced screenings.
  • Focus Features will open Bugonia in a special limited theatrical engagement on October 24 before a wide expansion on October 31, 2025.
  • SlashFilm’s review rates the film 7/10, calling it memorable but tonally cruel and occasionally scattered.
  • Performances draw notice, with Jesse Plemons highlighted as the standout, Emma Stone praised for an icy turn, and Aidan Delbis cited for a notable role as an autistic character played by an autistic actor.
  • The dark comedy reimagines 2003’s Save the Green Planet! with a plot about two conspiracy‑obsessed men who kidnap a powerful executive they believe is an alien.
