High Life (2018)

Who thought putting criminals in space would be a great idea? I mean, if everyone was kind and everything was successful, would it make a great story? Who can tell but that's the basis of the Claire Denis film HIGH LIFE.

Starring Robert Pattison, Mia Goth, Juliette Binoche, André "3000" Benjamin, and Ewen Mitchell, we follow a doomed space mission to a Black Hole and the obvious antics that ensue from locking a bunch of criminals on a spaceship and expecting them to produce offspring. What could go wrong?

There's a bunch of fluids being slung around this vessel in scenes wetter than those in ALIEN where Harry Dean Stanton takes a shower in the cargo hold with his clothes on and every other scene where the Xenomorph shows up and it's drooling everywhere.

HIGH LIFE is considered a sci-fi horror as well just so you know. That's why I mention it.

HIGH LIFE (2018) is streaming in the US on Max, and in the UK you can rent it on Apple TV + and MUBI!
