There’s a new sci-fi horror film coming our way called Lumina, and it looks like a mind-twisting watch.
Here’s the synopsis:
A terrifying sci-fi thrill ride, Lumina follows four friends desperately searching for their abductee friend in a DUMB – DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASE. Whether they find their friend or not, what they find in the desert of the U.S. to the sands of the Sahara, will change their lives forever.
If the above confuses you, here’s a bit more context: The story centers on a group of friends. One of them is rich and named Alex, and he holds a party at his house. Suddenly, bright lights flash in the sky and one of them, Alex’s girlfriend Tatiana, disappears. Alex becomes obsessed with finding her and, after a few months, drags three of his friends into the desert because he believes Tatiana is being held in a DUMB (Deep Underground Military Base) and may have been put there because she had contact with aliens. Things get dangerous for the group from there as they face both human and extraterrestrial threats in their search.
The film was directed, written, and produced by Gino McKoy and stars Eric Roberts (who played The Master in 1996’s Doctor Who: The Movie), Rupert Lazarus, Eleanor Williams, Andrea Tivadar, Sidney Nicole Rogers, Ken Lawson, and Emily Hall.
Lumina premieres in theaters on July 12, 2024.
