Science-fiction’s most enduring demon returns, scaling back to its dark, practical, and horrifying roots.
Stuck on a colonised planetoid with limited freedom or opportunities, a group of young people sneak onto an abandoned space station in search of resources – only to find themselves trapped there with few weapons, no outside help, and no information against a monster that changes, breeds, and kills them faster than they can understand it.
From proven horror writer-director and devoted fan Fede Álvarez (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe), the film dispenses with elaborate lore, overwhelming scale, and star names to channel what made the original great. Inventive, small-scale world-building, a slow-building sense of dread, and unforgettably visceral bouts of body horror all return in force, orchestrated with a sure hand that makes it all seem new, unpredictable, and overwhelmingly scary again.
