Critics Consensus

Flying Lotus' Ash delivers the phantasmagorical goods with vivid visuals and a throbbing soundscape, elevating a predictable sci-fi story into a memorably stylish head-trip.

Audience Says

While mildly derivative of great sci-fi horror classics, Ash manages to sufficiently compel and deliver a satisfying ending.

If you're into it, you're into it. Let's just say you're not: turn the picture off and let the soundtrack play.

In this age of expensive and overwrought world-building, it’s Ellison’s experiential care with well-worn material that delivers the goods.

A hypnotic star child of out-there wonder and internal corruption and chaos.

Ash is, for the most part, as much about thoughts, impressions and experiences as it is a conventional piece of narrative film. It comes in like a space-age fever dream, all body horror and blaring noise.

Add in Flying Lotus’ soundtrack of semi-ambient squish and skitter and even if you won’t be surprised by most of the twists, it’s still satisfying to let the thing grab hold.

For all its ambition, Ash feels like a missed opportunity—a cosmic cover song that can’t match the haunting resonance of its inspirations.

Ash was an intresting and enticing movie, definitely a good concept, but the movie felt muddled and a bit boring at times. The low budgetness is felt, but overall it did okay for what it was going for, just not the best.

this was an entertaining alien flick. the cast was well picked and created a working group environment. the plot twists were fun to follow as you thought you'd figured it out, and you were not that far off the mark. enough jump scares, and you even get to talk to the alien which was fun. I'd recommend a matinee over regular price. there was a brief lecture about humanity but wasn't overpowered w a message. fun and entertaining as it should be

The movie was actually really good. The first part started off really slow and I was quite worried about how the rest of the movie was going to go. The opening scene itself gave me the biggest worry but once it got to about a quarter way through it started pick up and really get good. There was a lot more psychological parts to the movie then I thought there would be like I knew there was going to be a Psychological part to it because in the trailer it had the main character with amnesia, but I definitely did not expect it to go the way it took them. The ending did kind of have expected feel to it, but it did lead us, hoping that it was going to have a different outcome only to be the same as what most alien movies are ending like. Overall I think it was definitely worth the watch.
