Reportedly, this movie’s entire budget was just $50,000 and it’s one of the best independent science fiction films I’ve seen in a long time. It just goes to show how far a great concept can take you in spite of the budget.
I don’t want to say too much about this film because it’s so much better if you don’t know what the overall concept is but it has serious Twilight Zone vibes going on (just like The One I Love did). Even some of the acting feels like the frantic scenes from some of Rod Serling’s best written episodes. Basically, the plot revolves around an astroid that is passing over a dinner party one night and strange things start happening. It really mines the concept for all it’s worth with some good thought-provoking twists. Granted, some of the plot might not hold up to deep scrutiny but it’s a lot of fun and much better than I expected.
