'Ash' Review: Eiza González and Aaron Paul Lead a Funky Sci-Fi Horror That Steals From the Greats
Ash features confident direction and two stellar leads but tells a story that feels too reliant on other sci-fi horror movies.
Despite only having two features and two short films under his belt, musician-turned-director Flying Lotus has already found a specific niche as a filmmaker. His 2017 debut Kuso combined the darkest of dark comedy, raunchiness, and loads of gross-out body horror. While that film was a collection of vignettes, his second feature, the sci-fi horrorAsh, marks a change in pace, telling a contained story set high up in the stars. If you've seen movies like Alien and The Thing, then you will already have a slight idea of whatAshis.
