Directed by Flying Lotus, Ash is a horror/sci-fi hybrid that focuses on Eiza González’s Riya, one of the only apparent survivors of a mysterious event at a terraforming station in deep space. Much of the film is carried by Riya, who struggles to regain her full memories of the event while also wrestling with whether to trust Ash‘s other main character Brion, another survivor who is committed to them escaping the planet with their lives.
