Gory New ‘Ash’ Images Tease Stomach-Churning Violence in Flying Lotus’ Mindbender [Exclusive]

Grammy Award Winner and filmmaker Flying Lotus (Kuso, V/H/S/99) is back this week with Ash, a trippy sci-fi survival horror movie that brings the gore. To prove it, we have exclusive new images from the film that teases some of the stomach-churning horror ahead.

Ash opens in theaters this Friday, March 21, before heading to Shudder sometime later this year.

Eiza González (Baby Driver) and Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) star in Ash, alongside Iko Uwais (The Raid: Redemption), Beulah Koale, and Kate Elliott.

In the sci-fi horror film, “On the mysterious planet of Ash, Riya (González) awakens to find her crew slaughtered. When Brion (Paul) arrives to rescue her, an ordeal of psychological and physical terror ensues while Riya and Brion must decide if they can trust one another to survive.”

Flying Lotus also composed the score for the film and directs from a script by Jonni Remmler.

I wrote in my review, “Ash doesn’t reinvent the subgenre, but it’s not trying to. Flying Lotus instead tells this familiar story in a way that only he could, delivering the equivalent of an ultra-violent space survival horror video game in cinematic form. It’s an immersive, experiential vibe movie that washes over you with its droning score that ramps up in intensity along with the chaos.” And, “ is the equivalent of getting hypnotized and pulled into an almost Lovecraftian cosmic abyss, but only if you’re willing to ride its polarizing wavelength.”
