The Rug

Edna, a senior aged woman, discovers that a discarded throw rug she has found will, for lack of a better word, digest anything left under it. The more it digests, the more it wants. After devouring her pesky landlord and a nosey cop, the rug has gotten so frisky that Edna finds herself trapped in her own home with no way out.

Directed by Sean Cisterna, The Rug leans on a strong ensemble — Jayne Eastwood, Tony Nardi, Zoë Belkin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2025.
