I was really excited to see this. I really dug the trailer and the actors in the cast are all phenomenal. As I sat down to watch it, the story unfolded in a completely superficial way. It felt like ALIEN meets THE DESCENT with a little Cthulhu thrown in for good measure. Even Kristen Stewart feels like Ripley in ALIEN³ not only in hairstyle, but in personality too. Instead of finding something thematic to tie the film together it relied too much on the plot and less time developing any sort of character. I wish Mamoudou Athie had more screen time cause he’s such a good actor and just needs to be seen in more things.
