id="an-underrated-space-horror">An Underrated Space Horror:

You see, back in 2018, they did something incredible and showed off some amazing acting. While it did get some praise! A ton of people may have missed this!

Pattinson and Goth really gave viewers a wild ride. Both have gone on to gain much more recognition but you might find they really shine together in "High Life!"

This story was about a bunch of people on a spaceship, full of criminals. Who were assigned to get a job done in the far reaches of space!

The crazy thing? These folks had a real big problem. The group is tasked with extracting a ton of energy from a "Black Hole" and it wasn't long before people started to die!

One of the main characters was played by Pattinson and the movie is about this man and his baby. Trying to survive as they venture through the darkness of space.

Another huge, key character, and someone fans might love to see on screen is Goth as "Boyse." These characters are brought to life as part of this amazing cast that includes: Juliette Binoche, André Benjamin and Ewan Mitchell. It looks like "High Life" has a real all-star lineup that fans would really want to see!

It's hard to compare, but this movie truly stands out from the rest!

High Life isn't afraid of horror or breaking all those crazy conventions. It really looks like this film took on some elements from thrillers and mystery!

Viewers who want action in the first moments, you may be put off. However, fans of slow burns are sure to appreciate its style and that it will give them a ton of thinking to do long after watching!

So if this movie is so amazing! And these big stars, and was praised, too! How come we weren't hearing all about it?

Fans may feel it lacked exposure, especially during its release!

It may not have been released in too many movie theaters. In addition, even though Goth is on her way up and now super well-known. At the time, she had just gotten involved in some smaller roles!

So what really came together to make a difference. The two starred together right as both were on their way to gaining bigger recognition in Hollywood.

It makes sense why this show did so poorly! The film may not have been able to get in a huge run. If they did, they would have had the chance to reach a lot more viewers! It was released with a fairly large budget that came in at around $8 million Euros, but it was only able to earn around $2.3 Million American dollars in box office totals, giving this movie a low amount of return, showing a trend of limited visibility.

High Life's Legacy

In the grand scheme of things "High Life" was able to give some performers a boost to continue in their careers.

Goth went on to star in the awesome A24 series called "X."
She landed the starring roles for the series "Pearl," and "MaXXXine," proving just what a star she has become!

It may not have been the breakthrough that everyone wanted, but it definitely set a trajectory. If you haven't seen this awesome film yet, what we recommend is making the time to watch it, and perhaps, it will have the opportunity to re-enter the conversation for the public. The performances from Goth and Pattinson are fantastic, which was clear from the movie. In addition, the film delves into the realities of the darkness of space! It has so many components!

Maybe it's about the stars that made this film so unique? It appears that if this were a "Netflix" movie! We would likely hear more about it and the amazing details and incredible, compelling scenes. There's a unique look at this genre that has everyone talking! It's truly one that you will want to add to your watch list and really consider as a part of your next movie night!
