Killed by Lightning is a curious blend of drama and sci-fi that digs into the complexities of human evolution through a deeply personal lens. The lead, an anthropologist, grapples with her childhood trauma tied to her father's death during wartime – an experience that haunts her throughout the film. It’s got this eerie, atmospheric quality, enhanced by the practical effects that bring the ghostly elements of the prehistoric past to life. The pacing can be a bit erratic, but it gives you time to really ponder the themes of memory and loss. Performances are quite raw and earnest, adding depth to the narrative. It’s not your typical genre fare, more of a psychological exploration wrapped in a science fiction bag.
