Ash doesn’t reinvent the wheel or do anything astoundingly original - it unsurprisingly borrows quite a bit from the genre’s heavyweights and is packed full of tropes - but I’m very easily entertained by sci-fi horror, especially in outer space, so add in a Flying Lotus score (+ direction) & cool visuals and I’m seated.

In any event, Willem Dafoe elevates this film considerably, and makes it a very quality watch.

I thought the story…
