Alien at the Movies

Spontaneous 

In this black comedy rom/com, it’s senior year for Mara & Dylan amidst students spontaneously exploding for no particular reason that could be identified. It’s not spontaneous combustion where things suddenly catch fire & burn up. These kids are suddenly exploding & spraying blood & guts everywhere. First, it’s just one student, then another, & then many more. Thus believing life may be short Mara & Dylan get together & make the best of the situation. Maybe this is symbolic of today’s mass shooting at our schools across America or maybe it’s just silly film nonsense. The film just felt pointless.

Alien gives it 2 “Covington Curse” stars out of 4.
