Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed secretly in Canada over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic.
- GoofsWhen Carly is shown back home after the first interlink with her Mother she is in the kitchen with her back to the kitchen bench. You then hear the kettle whistling to tell you it's at its boil. Only when Carly turns round you see that the kettle is electric. To have a whistling kettle it would have to be on a gas stove. Edit: There are electric kettles that do whistle. You've just never seen one until now. Furthermore; It does not matter if a kettle is on a gas or electric stove. The water boiling is what produces the whistle. Not what causes the water to boil.

Featured review
Blomkamp's latest
Carly (Carly Pope) is estranged from her mother Angela who was convicted of burning down her care home workplace and killing some 21 people some twenty years ago. She further poisoned another five. Carly is haunted by nightmares of Angela. She has also been estranged from longtime friend Martin after those events and then he contacts her with news about her mother.
When this popped up, I didn't realize that it's a new Neill Blomkamp film. I figured it to be another low budget inconsequential B-horror movie. The initial assumption is not far from the reality. The premise is similar to Jennifer Lopez in The Cell except its visuals are nowhere near as imaginative nor compelling. This story needs something much more basic than that. It needs a ticking clock and stakes and motivation for Carly. If an evil corporation is going to all that trouble, it should do something much more coercive to bring her into the experiment. It has non of that. She just agrees to join this weird experience for no apparent reason. At least give her a beat and a nightmare in between the asking and the doing. She could do the procedure to confront her nightmarish visions and her mother. There is a clear deterioration in Blomkamp's writing and his visual style has stalled at best. There are basic concepts of motivation and characterization that are missing.
