The practical effects, though not overwhelming, have a raw quality that adds to the unsettling vibe. Arthur's struggle as an ex-astronaut grappling with an infection from Saturn XVI makes for an intriguing character study, but it’s the reactions of Richard and his friends that really highlight the film's themes of ignorance and the unknown. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that awkwardness almost adds to the mystery. It's unique in how it blends drama with horror, creating a layered narrative that keeps you guessing.
