Comets are seeing whizzing by in the night sky in a rural British Columbia area. Speculation in the media is that this may be an alien invasion. A crock of crap?
Rosy (Meadow Kingfisher) an energetic aspiring filmmaker at age 10ish lives with her father Frank (Stephen J.F. Walker) and her somewhat surly older teen brother Arron (Kaydin Gibson). Their recently deceased mom was Indigenous. Rosy out in the backwoods discovers a wasp or bee’s nest on a tree. Now the nest starts to grow and drip goo. Touch this goopy thing you get stung, develop a high fever and cough then die a la COVID. Again in the COVID mode mass panic swells with “public service announcements” i.e. propaganda advising all to lock door and shelter in place with the Canadian army being called on to save the nation.
A fair to middling piece of film sort of like COVID meeting “Alien”. Really no uniqueness for seasoned filmgoers. What is encouraging is the use of Indigenous actors in non-stereotypical parts. Considering that Canada’s APTN television network was involved in production of the film this is not surprising.
Broadcast premiere will be 9January2024 on Canada’s VOD channel Hollywood Suite.
RKS 2024 Film Rating: 67/100.
