Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway play convincing newlyweds in this Invasion of the Body Snatchers-inspired film. The minimalist nature of the production aids in generating the paranoia which pervades the latter half of the feature. A slow burn in the opening scenes as their healthy and loving relationship is firmly enforced, but once first contact is made the story is entirely compelling as their trusts increasingly degrade. The cryptic ending is one of the few weak moments in Leigh Janiak's impressive directorial debut.
