Eggshells

About This Movie

Eggshells is this intriguing sci-fi piece from 2025 that dives into the human experience amidst otherworldly phenomena. The film's atmosphere is almost suffocatingly tense, with a slow burn that really lets you feel Charlie's struggle with debt and desperation. It’s not about the aliens themselves, but how they interact with our mundane lives. Practical effects are used creatively, giving a raw and tactile feel to the alien elements, which is a refreshing change in this CGI-heavy age. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but that adds to its charm. The performances are grounded, particularly the lead, who captures that blend of hope and resignation beautifully. It’s definitely a distinctive take on the genre, exploring the intersection of the extraordinary and the banal.
