Ash

When a sci-fi film starts evoking classics like Alien, Event Horizon, or The Thing, you naturally brace yourself for something powerful. The problem is when the final product fails to capture any of the magic that made those films great. Ash tries — it looks stylish, the atmosphere is there… but the script and overall execution fall flat.The setup is intriguing: a ship, a lone survivor, a lurking threat… but it quickly becomes clear there’s not much depth behind it. The tension doesn’t quite land, and while the oppressive tone works at first, it fades away through uninspired twists and a rhythm that disconnects more than it hooks. Eiza González does what she can with a role that barely gives her room to breathe — her commitment is evident, but it’s not enough to carry the film.
