Life
the crew of the international space station bring aboard soil samples from mars. In these samples they discover a single celled organism that begins to grow. Eventually it becomes hostile and escapes. The crew must try and destroy it to prevent it getting to earrth where it could end all life.
Life is a decent enough little sci-fi horror that doesn't quite gel like it should. Ive seen worse and there are no glaring errors like with Prometheus, but at its heart the film is a fairly by the numbers retread of films like It: terror from beyond space or Alien. Theres a twist that doesn't quite work and feels like its been placed there for shock value alone, though I'll have to rewatch it. Overall its a serviceable enough little movie.
