Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who like the journey more than the destination and anyone who's looked up and wondered. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination. A good follow-up to Alien: Romulus or 28 Weeks Later. Much of it plays out in space, so the scale is part of the thrill.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.
Four people traveling in a van run over a lone woman while she is walking in the dark down a country road. After loading her into the vehicle to take her to the nearest hospital, they notice that she is behaving rather strangely. The occupants of the van soon realise that the time has come to fight for their lives, and together they agree on one very simple rule: "do not sit next to her."
