SXSW: Flying Lotus' second feature effectively splits the difference between "Alien" and Brandon Cronenberg's "Possessor."

People tend to overuse the term "mind-blowing" when hyping sci-fi movies, but in the case of Flying Lotus' visually audacious "Ash," the word feels apt. Weak on plot but pretty as a sunset (on the whole human race?

Aliens have invaded SXSW this year, and director Flying Lotus' 'Ash' certainly serves a cosmic horror that's out of this world.
