About This Movie

At First Light (2018) is an intriguing blend of sci-fi and thriller that captures the essence of teenage angst and the unknown. Jason Stone's direction builds a tense atmosphere as we follow Alex, a high school girl whose encounter with strange lights leads her into a world of dangerous abilities. The pacing is well-executed, gradually ramping up the tension as she seeks help from her childhood friend, Sean. The film’s practical effects provide a grounded feel to the supernatural elements, which is refreshing in a genre often overwhelmed by CGI. Performances are solid, particularly the chemistry between the leads, giving a relatable touch to their frantic situation. It’s the mix of personal stakes and broader mysteries that makes this film stand out.

Interesting take on coming-of-age with supernatural elements.Explores themes of fear and friendship amidst chaos.Strong use of practical effects enhances the tension.
