‘Ash’ Review: Eiza González Wakes Up In The Middle Of An Alien Murder Mystery In Flying Lotus’ Cosmic Horror — SXSW

deadline.com:

Aliens have invaded SXSW with multiple new titles befitting the theme at this year’s festival, and director Flying Lotus‘ Ash certainly serves a cosmic horror that’s out of this world.

Eiza González stars as astronaut Riya, who wakes up on a distant planet with no memory of who she is, how she got there or why her entire crew has been slaughtered.

When her crew mate Brion (Aaron Paul) answers a distress call from their orbiting space station, things start coming into focus.

As the computer warns her of an unusual lifeform. The movie wastes no time getting into the action as we open on a bloodied Riya waking up with exactly the same amount of info as we have about the bloody chaos surrounding her.
