Box-office failures are the best bonus video foals

Nowadays, it is increasingly difficult to stand out in the world of science fictionthe influence of certain pillars of the genre feeling easily in the most recent projects. We are obviously not talking about the spin-offs of popular franchises that have swarmed in recent years, as Alien : Romulus, Star Trek : Section 31or the highly anticipated Predator : Badlands To be found in theaters next November, but rather new features which are not related, directly or indirectly, to an already established license.

Last January, Amazon Prime Video broadcast Elevationa film that is inspired by many successful IPS for a result which was not up to the box office, but which seems to have pleased the French public, set up at the top of the top of the best films in the platform very quickly. And since the end of April, Amazon has been looking for his luck with a science fiction feature produced by Flying Lotuswho also failed in the box office with less than $ 700,000 in revenue in three days, the film having had to face The Alto Knights et Snow white At the time of its release. This time, it’s the turn of Ash To win among the best films on Prime Video!

Science-fiction film or Survival Horror game?

Presented at the festival South by Southwest On March 11, 2025, then released in the United States and Canada on March 21, 2025, Ash joined the Amazon platform on April 24, 2025 in France, and is currently being held in 4th place in the top of the best premium video films. Made by the man behind most music d’Adult Swim (but also the soundtrack of his own film), Ash presents itself as a mixture between the famous Alien of Ridley Scott and iconic The Thing of John Carpenterall with a psychedelic touch that makes horrifying moments all the more intense.

In Ash, Eiza González (The three -body problem) plays the role of an astronaut by the name of Riya. It wakes up aboard a space station where the whole crew was put to blood, without any memory of what happened. Because of his amnesia, Riya has trouble trusting Brion (AARON Paul), a man sent to rescue her, and who claims to know the young woman. A formula that could very well find its place in a video game of survival horrorand whose violence contributes to a confusing experience!
