Baby Invasion

The film blends contemporary tech culture with a destabilizing game-in-the-world premise. Real-time livestreams, GoPro footage, and online chat feeds fuse with in-game visuals to blur the line between viewer and participant. The setting is recognizably modern, oriented around digital platforms and surveillance.

The mansion serves as the central stage where the Duck Mobb execute the hostage-taking in a lavish yet unsettling setting. Behind the mansion, a lake creates a surreal backdrop where the white rabbit motif appears, intensifying the dreamlike atmosphere. The action spills into an office, an apartment, and a houseboat, illustrating how the raid expands beyond a single location while a global livestream tracks every move.

👁️ Surveillance

The narrative is driven by cameras, CCTV feeds, and a constant stream of pop-ups from an Operator, making every action visible to a worldwide audience. The Duck Mobb’s behavior is heavily shaped by the gaze of viewers and the fear of being watched. The film critiques how modern media weaponizes observation to control and normalize violence.

🎮 Simulation

Players treat real spaces as levels, collecting coins and triggering minigames, turning a home invasion into a procedural game. The boundary between game and reality collapses as characters respond to in-game cues and streaming incentives. The white rabbit and other motifs reinforce a surreal, game-like layer over actual danger.

💰 Greed

Looting cash, merchandise, and champagne becomes a core motive that drives the raid forward, framing wealth as both lure and weapon. The group’s willingness to escalate violence hinges on the prospect of a huge safe payoff. The pursuit of money destabilizes moral boundaries and amplifies tension among the players.

⚡ Violence

The violence is stylized and ritualized, culminating in hostages being harmed and a climactic, god-like confrontation. The game-world sequences culminate in a dramatic, otherworldly death that orders a sudden, unsettling shift from play to peril. The recurring motif of a demonic white rabbit heightens the sense of danger and powerlessness.
