A poorly done romantic version of The Thing
I saw the poster for this and I watched it thinking it's a horror movie about a couple trying to avoid Bigfoot but I was wrong upon watching it.
Ruth and Harry go to a forest to fix their relationship but Harry is killed by an alien that turns into a clone of himself. Ruth is suspicious and push fake Harry off the cliff. However fake Harry survives and brutally stabbed a couple who was trying to help Ruth escape. Ruth tricks fake Harry into falling in the sea to get eaten by a shark but he cut his way out of the shark. Fake Harry takes Ruth to his nest and turns into an alien impostor version of herself. Ruth escape from the alien and escape by pickup truck. On the radio she hears the voice of the alien telling her more of its kind have arrived to invade Earth. After the message more aliens arrived in meteorites and the movie ends.
This is a misleading movie. The poster looks great but the actual movie is awful and they totally mixed romance with ideas taken from The Thing. - fastoch-33139 - 22 March 2024
untapped potential
It could have been an excellent piece of sci-fi if some elements of the scenario had been more thoughtfully implemented.
For example, discovering a deer in that state would have made anyone with more than 10 neurons leave this forest as fast as possible, especially when you have such an obvious anxiety issue. Rambo would have left this forest...
The acting performances are good, but some mistakes prevent this movie from being great. Overall, I recommend it though.
Maika Monroe's filmography is very interesting. From the first time I've seen her in "It follows", I've found her very natural in all her roles.
