Alien at the Movies

Flashback

This film begins with Fred Fitzell (Dylan O’Brien) visiting the hospital where his mom is suffering from diminishing mental capacity. His life seems to be thrown in turmoil when he starts to have flashbacks about a girl gone missing back in high school. He & his old buddies try to figure out what happened to her. They realize their teen drug use days has clouded their memories. This mystery is told with confusing flashbacks to the point audiences will question Fred’s mental state or the writer’s mental state. This whole plot appears senseless & stupid. When the film ends back at the hospital with his mom, you’ll wonder what did I️ just watch & what was real here.

Alien gives it 1 “Merc” star out of 4.
