Supernatural horror is my bag! I was super excited to lay my eyes on Rosario at the Overlook Film Festival during one of the late-night slots.

Starring Eiza González and Aaron Paul and directed by Flying Lotus, Ash has all the checkmarks to catch my attention.

“This is some Bourne Identity shit right here.” Another indie horror film is taking on the unknown of time and space.
