"Ash" features Eiza González as a haunted explorer

The film "Ash" is a sci-fi horror movie directed by Flying Lotus. It stars Eiza González as Riya, a space explorer who wakes up in a damaged spaceship. She soon discovers that her crew has been killed, but she can't remember what happened. The story takes place on a dark and strange planet. Riya finds her crew's bodies in the cold, minimalist outpost. A robotic system alerts her to dangerous activities around her. The film explores themes of memory and fear in a stylish way, though it offers few clear answers. Fans of films like "Alien" and "Mission to Mars" may enjoy "Ash." It features complex science concepts such as terraforming and parasitic life forms. However, its script can be confusing, which is part of its unique aesthetic. Riya uses special patches to recall her memories, leading to shocking and gruesome images. When another character, played by Aaron Paul, arrives, it raises more questions. The film culminates in a violent and memorable final act. "Ash" is rated R for violence and strong language, and it runs for 1 hour and 35 minutes. It is currently in theaters.
