Excellent (0 more)
A little hard to follow and it is never revealed who the aliens really are. (0 more)
Excellent speculative movie even if it was somewhat optimistic.

This movie poses and excellent problem of what it would be like if an advanced alien species visited Earth and what form that would take. I found the design of the aliens and the extent of their technology to be interesting but what I found more fascinating was how they were able to come up with a language that is at one time alien but also somewhat familiar using basic linguistic theory that is common to all languages and yet come up with something completely out of the box. Despite being an excellent film posing complex and thought provoking questions, I found the timeline and the flashbacks to be confusing and the ending of the film posing more questions than answers. The telling of the story is as complex as a tesseract or 4th dimensional hypercube trying to describe itself to a three dimensional cube. There simply is no common frame of reference to begin to understand the multidimensionality of the film.

Frost Bite
By Angela Sylvaine
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Remember the '90s? Well...the town of Demise, North Dakota doesn't, and they're living in the year 1997. That's because an alien worm hitched a ride on a comet, crash-landed in the town's trailer park, and is now infecting animals with a memory-loss-inducing bite-and right before Christmas! Now it's up to nineteen-year-old Realene and her best friend Nate to stop the spread and defeat the worms before the entire town loses its mind. The only things standing in the way are their troubled pasts, a doomsday cult, and an army of infected prairie dogs.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was so much fun. Alien worms turning animals and humans into zombies set in the 90s what’s not to love? I mean really! It was fast paced and so retro especially to someone who grew up in the 90s. Loved the characters and the story was so touching and sad in places. I was so glad I got chosen for this arc.
