A ★½ review of Ash (2025)

I hope that whoever scored this movie was paid handsomely. Not because the score is particularly remarkable (it’s fine), but because it is constant. I would be surprised if there were more than 5 minutes of the movie’s 100 minute runtime that didn’t have some sort of music playing in the background. The folks making this movie had no confidence in it. Every bit of it feels amateurish. You can see the direction given to the actors in each scene - nothing feels natural. The story is fine. Did you like Life? How about The Thing? How would you feel
