REVIEW SUMMARY
Ash doesn't bring anything new to the genres it blends nor does it explore its themes in particularly thought-provoking ways, but it still delivers an intriguing experience, driven by an immersive atmosphere and a truly captivating lead performance. Eiza González's magnetic presence alone makes the movie worth watching, and there are technical aspects worthy of praise that contribute to an engaging experience. A film of extremes, where its best moments shine as much as its flaws, but one that ultimately earns a recommendation.
