Aaron says: “This tightly constructed sci-fi thriller from first-time writer-director Shannon Triplett is the discovery of the fest. Kristine Froseth stars as the nameless (for a while) woman who crashes her car in the Mojave desert and can’t find her way out of a hellish town. The mind-bending concept is elevated by a script that plays fair with its rules, a sympathetic heroine who makes smart and crafty decisions, a tone that balances horror beats with character motivations that spring from a longing for human connection, and an ending that delivers satisfying explanations without sacrificing a sense of mystery. A must-see for genre enthusiasts with strong crossover potential! 4 Cats”
