Ash Ratings & Reviews
- N-U-M-A-N25 de abril de 2025A complete waste of time. If you want a good movie, go for Event Horizon, not this SHIT.
- therealstupid22 de marzo de 2026Passable sci fi thriller but too many silly plot points to enjoy. Great for watching if you're sick in bed and just need something mindless.
- RipLinesMan24 de abril de 2025Ash wants to be Event Horizon (1997), but only captures the shadows, not the fire. Eiza González leads as Riya, a survivor in the aftermath of a massacre aboard a distant space station. She brings conviction, but the script drifts — more quiet than tension, more mystery than menace. Aaron Paul’s Brion is watchable, but underwritten, and while Iko Uwais brings intensity as Adhi, his presence is more setup than payoff. The supporting cast — Kate Elliott as Clarke and Beulah Koale as Kevin — do what they can, but the film’s rhythm never quite locks in. Compare that to Event Horizon, where Laurence Fishburne’s Captain Miller and Sam Neill’s Dr. Weir tear through grief and cosmic dread with urgency. That ship felt cursed — alive. In Ash, the station is eerily quiet, but rarely threatening. The horror comes in waves, but never crashes. Both films ask: what happens when you wake up too late to stop the nightmare? But only one feels like it stares back. Ash aims high, but in space, drifting is still drifting.
- SirMonkalot13 de febrero de 2026All style, no substance. Was pretty slow paced and not much happened for a while. It’s like the temu version of Event Horizon.
- Tom Cooper27 de abril de 2025Crappy CGI. Crappy script. Crappy plot. Crappy colour palette. Crappy budget. Does everything have to be in red/blue/green/purple lighting? (We get it, it's scifi) Don't they own normal white lights anywhere on this space station? Wake me up when something interesting happens.. 💤😴 People comparing this to event horizon or dead space mustn't have seen either. When the director calls himself "flying lotus" you should know it's going to be absolute crud.
- Jesse27 de abril de 2025Ash is a clear case of style over substance. Visually, it's impressive at times, and the action sequences show flashes of potential. But the film crumbles under the weight of a weak script, uneven direction, and sluggish pacing. It tries to build a tragic, mysterious atmosphere around its characters, but never earns it, making the emotional beats feel hollow. At best, it's a pale imitation of films like The Thing and Event Horizon and a reminder of how much better those movies are. If you're looking for real tension or smart storytelling, look elsewhere.
- Jason P.5 de junio de 2025The movie was like "The Thing" If it was made by people who were high and thought they were writing something good. Great visuals, great cast, HORRIBLE writing and direction.
- Sean Norwood26 de abril de 2025It was entertaining. Had Thing vibes.
- dragon323625 de abril de 2025needs a lot of work.
- ahwoo25 de abril de 2025Like a low budget 'Dead Space' adaption from the game but replaces hulk guy in battle spacesuit with hot girl in in skintight blinky spacesuit.
- Mroczko9 de enero de 2026A trippy, cosmic horror induced movie. Not perfect, but enjoyable.
- Sam17 de noviembre de 2025kind of predictable and like a worse The Thing or Invasion of the Body Snatchers
- hayde5624 de abril de 2025The movie has its moments but overall rather average only saved by the quality of acting
- jackmeat24 de abril de 2025My quick rating - 5.2/10. In Ash, Eiza González wakes up alone on a distant planet, and it’s immediately clear she’s having a very bad morning. No coffee, no clean socks, and oh yeah—her crew has been brutally murdered. Welcome to space horror, where the silence is deafening and the plot’s holding on by duct tape and alien goo. Directed by Flying Lotus (yes, the musician—and apparently now part-time intergalactic tour guide), Ash boldly steps into the void of sci-fi horror with a heavy nod to The Thing, minus the creeping paranoia and clever ambiguity. Instead, we get a fairly routine “humans find alien tech, everything goes sideways” setup, with far fewer flamethrowers and far more artsy flashbacks. Riya (González) does a decent job playing the lone survivor trying to CSI her way through the carnage, though the script doesn’t give her much to work with emotionally—unless you count staring blankly into the void. Occasionally, she remembers to be terrified. Occasionally, so do we. Iko Uwais pops up, giving fans of The Raid a moment of excitement, only to remind us he’s not here to fight twenty guys with a wrench this time. He’s underused, underscored, and underwhelming—but hey, he looks great in space gear. Visually, Ash is all over the star map. Some scenes feel richly textured and atmospheric, making you wish the whole movie looked like this. Others feel like we dropped into a mid-tier sci-fi video game cutscene from 2011. The effects are uneven, like someone spilled space glitter on an indie film budget. Where the movie shines (or flickers, anyway) is in its final flashback—ironically the only flashback that truly earns its runtime. It’s emotional, well-shot, and tonally what the rest of the movie could have been. Unfortunately, to get there, we wade through recycled dreamscapes and “Wait, did we see this memory already?” territory that starts to feel more like déjà meh. The score, of course, is bumping—Flying Lotus knows how to create a vibe—but even pulsating synths can’t force tension where none exists. The horror is more suggested than shown, and while restraint can be a virtue, here it just feels like the film forgot it was supposed to be scary. Still, there’s something promising lurking beneath the cosmic dust. Lotus clearly has an eye and ear for atmosphere, and with tighter editing and a story that doesn’t treat flashbacks like popcorn, his next film might stick the landing. For now, Ash is space horror-lite: visually interesting at times, occasionally creepy, and mostly content to orbit around better films rather than boldly going where no director’s gone before. Bring snacks. Maybe caffeine too.
- cultfilmliker23 de abril de 2025Saw the Brainfeeder logo and knew I was in for a trip. I think I got 8 minutes into KUSO before I turned it off lol but don’t worry he made sure to include some gross out / downright gory moments. FlyLo as an actor was jarring but a decent performance. There’s a lot of digital static in the sound effects and it’s very unnerving to me. Love the music tho. A harsh sound design that is more brutal than the visual jump scares at times. Which is saying something bc FlyLo knows how to repulse you, fast. FlyLo is such a weeb. Also, a lot of this feels like a video game. Felt kinda like a feature-length V/H/S segment. Probably better than SiREN! Some effective transcendental sequences. Unique! FlyLo has an auteuristic vision for sure. Can’t recommend decent audio equipment enough for this film. The man knows what he’s doing. Big EVENT HORIZON / SUNSHINE vibes and also SPOILER ALERT ⬇️⬇️⬇️ obviously The Thing
