Encounter Trailer: Riz Ahmed Tries To Save His Sons From (Possibly Imaginary) Aliens
Is it “The Tomorrow War?” Not quite. “Encounter” looks like more like a road-movie version of William Friedkin’s “Bug.” As Ahmed’s character explains, “This isn’t a roadtrip. It’s a rescue mission.” Cops aren’t to be trusted (at least, not ones doing roadside stops at 3 a.m.), and what’s with all those insects swarming the windshield?
Octavia Butler co-stars in “Encounter,” which is coming your way next month. Check out the trailer below.

Reviews for “Invasion” have been lackluster, and I’ve started to lose patience with the show myself, so if you’re looking for more thrills in your next streaming alien invasion thriller, you might find it in “Encounter.” The movie seems to have a body-snatching component, with extraterrestrial organisms of some sort invading people’s eyes and bodies and making their skin literally crawl. Then again, maybe it’s all just in the head of our protagonist.
A decorated Marine goes on a rescue mission to save his two young sons from an unhuman threat. As their journey takes them in increasingly dangerous directions, the boys will need to leave their childhoods behind.
