If you're into it, you're into it. Let's just say you're not: turn the picture off and let the soundtrack play.

In this age of expensive and overwrought world-building, it’s Ellison’s experiential care with well-worn material that delivers the goods.

| Mar 24, 2025

A hypnotic star child of out-there wonder and internal corruption and chaos.

There are worse sci-fi/horror movies, but 'there are worse movies' is never the praise one likes to think it is. The word 'Competent!' rarely makes it into a movie’s marketing materials no matter how accurate it is.

The film’s seductive and trippy aesthetics help mask the overall dullness of this two-person chamber drama.

Light on answers but heavy on style.

The goopy, gory, trippy fun to be had here turns to Ash, mostly due to Jonni Remmler’s tedious script.

| Original Score: C | Mar 20, 2025

There's not much to Jonni Remmler's script, and "Ash" doesn't leave viewers with anything other than than standard sci-fi thrills. System error, reboot, stand by.

| Original Score: C | Mar 20, 2025

Ash is a solid delivery mechanism for genre thrills.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 17, 2025

The film should largely appeal to genre crowds and midnight-movie aficionados. And Lotus fans will be pleased to learn that he wrote the grand, moody electronic score which amplifies the picture’s menacing tone.

| Mar 14, 2025

The equivalent of an ultra-violent, familiar space survival horror video game in cinematic form. It’s an immersive, experiential vibe movie that washes over you with its droning score that ramps up in intensity along with the chaos.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2025

The movie’s razor-sharp visuals leave scratch marks on the back of your eyeballs, liable to burst back into your consciousness in subsequent dreams... Check your brain, and you’ll be just fine.

| Mar 12, 2025

A pummeling psychedelic sci-fi freakout that one doesn’t watch so much as experience.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 12, 2025

“Ash” may not reinvent the sci-fi horror genre, but Flying Lotus knows when to subvert tropes and when to lean into them.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 12, 2025
