About This Movie

Collider is a curious blend of tension and intrigue set against a backdrop of impending doom. The film throws together a motley crew—Peter, Alisha, Carlos, Fiona, Luke, and Lucia—who all wake up in an abandoned hotel, their memories hazy and the world outside crumbling. There's a palpable sense of dread as they piece together the puzzle of what led to humanity's collapse. The pacing is uneven at times, but it mirrors the disorientation of the characters. It leans heavily on practical effects that evoke a gritty realism, grounding the sci-fi elements in something more tangible. The performances, while not always standout, convey a raw desperation that fits the atmosphere perfectly. It’s a unique entry in the sci-fi genre that explores themes of survival, memory, and the fragility of civilization.
