'Bat and Hat' is a lyrical and monstrous meditation on when the mundane becomes gruesome. Bloody, strange, and charming, the film separates the audience into individuals, making them a part of the spectacle as they laugh, gasp, or squirm.At its core, the film is an exploration of what it means to lose that which we believe defines us. Purposefully or not, all people use personal signifiers to express who they are (be it a punk rocker, business man, or suburban housewife). These identity markers can be lost, co-opted, or confused; I am interested in what this corruption means for the identities tied to them.
