Imagine a star studded film set in the outer space sending chills down your spine! Interesting, right? Well, that is what the 2017 science-fiction horror film ‘Life’ by Daniel Espisona is all about.
In ‘Life’, a six member crew of the international space station discovers the first evidence of extraterritorial life on Mars. This uncovering of a single-celled organism causes excitement but only until this rapidly evolving life-from starts displaying signs of intelligence and moreover turns dangerous.
‘Life’ starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds, Rebecca Ferguson, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ariyon Bakare, and Olga Dihovichnaya in prominent roles, performed great at the box office and also earned praises from the critics for being a thrilling, well-acted and capable film.
It is one of those sci-fi horror dramas that gives you goosebumps with its jump scares and keeps you on the edge of your seats throughout. Also, the elaborate atmosphere building in ‘Life’ sets the tone just right. The film feels like a mix of ‘Alien’ and ‘Gravity’ and while it might not be as good as them it definitely knows how to build up the tension to an unnerving level.
‘Life’ is available on Netflix and is a great watch for that weekend movie break.
