Get ready to have your perception of reality challenged and your nightmares intensified. Flying Lotus’ Ash is poised to deliver a mind-altering cosmic horror experience that will leave you on edge. A visually arresting new poster has just been unveiled, offering a haunting preview of the terror within, featuring two heads slowly melting together in a grotesque fusion.
The film plunges audiences into the chaos surrounding Riya, an astronaut grappling with amnesia. She awakens to a horrifying reality: the brutal murder of her entire space station crew. Stranded on the hostile exoplanet Ash, Riya must form a reluctant partnership with fellow astronaut Brion, as they fight for survival. Their journey becomes an unrelenting descent into physical and psychological hell, with reality and nightmare becoming dangerously indistinguishable.
Ash boasts a powerhouse cast, led by Aaron Paul, best known for his iconic role in Breaking Bad, and Eiza González, celebrated for her performance in Baby Driver. The ensemble also includes Iko Uwais, Kate Elliott, Beulah Koale, and even Flying Lotus himself, ensuring a richly diverse and talented team on-screen.
The film’s chilling trailer teases Lovecraftian horrors lurking within the alien world, suggesting an ancient, malevolent force driving Riya’s crew to commit unspeakable acts. Alongside Brion, Riya must navigate this terrifying reality while struggling to unlock the mysteries behind the massacre that decimated her team.
Flying Lotus, whose real name is Steven D. Bingley-Ellison, is an ambitious Los Angeles-based filmmaker, producer, rapper, and DJ. He previously explored body horror in Kuso and directed the unsettling “Ozzy’s Dungeon” segment in V/H/S/99. Ash marks his latest cinematic foray into the bizarre and unnerving.
Written by Jonni Remmler and produced by Nate Bolotin and Mathew Metcalf, the film’s executive producers include Nick Spicer, Maxime Cottray, Aram Tertzakian, and Maile Daughtery. Flying Lotus, Neill Blomkamp, Dave Brown, and Adam Riback also lend their expertise as executive producers, ensuring a visually innovative and creatively intense experience.
The trailer dazzles with its striking cinematography and surreal special effects, capturing the unsettling, otherworldly vibe that defines Ash. Neon-lit landscapes and nightmarish creatures evoke a sense of deep unease, drawing viewers into the film’s cosmic horror atmosphere.
Prepare for a cosmic nightmare when Ash hits theaters on March 21, 2025, before making its streaming debut on Shudder.
