Overview

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an infected zone. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures," while a journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the U.S. border.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A quietly unsettling journey through a quarantined landscape where the real danger is less about the creatures themselves than the separation, displacement, and quiet devastation they've wrought on ordinary lives. It feels like watching a disaster film shot through the lens of exhaustion rather than spectacle.
