Bugonia is a 2025 sci-fi/crime film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. Two conspiracy theorists kidnap the CEO of a pharmaceutical company. They’re convinced she’s an Alien sent to earth to prepare its annihilation. They interrogate her in a remote location. Lines start to blur between delusion and truth. Themes of corporate greed and existential dread are present throughout the movie. The movie was very entertaining. As the movie progresses, it’s hard to tell if the CEO is an alien or not. The casting was great. Emma Stone and Jessie Plemmons were very convincing. I would definitely watch this one again. 7.9/10

Really didn't like the ending, FWIW. Destroyed the emotional stakes of the film.

I see what you mean. I found it made it lighter, all things considered. I don’t want to spoil anything.

The more you know.

I saw it on Halloween.

What did you think?

It’s not my typical genre. But, absolutely a great Halloween movie.

What do you usually watch?

Sci-fi and fantasy. But, it’s hard for me to take scary movies seriously. I was actually caught off guard when homie killed the cop.

High praise, and I like scifi. On the list it goes!

Nice. Let me know what you think!

Guessing I'd have to rent to watch it now. May wait a bit, holidays or plane

Yeah movies don’t stay in the theater very long anymore
