Tough luck: When they try to leave, every turn in the labyrinth-like streets leads them back to No. Gemma (Imogen Poots) and her boyfriend, Tom (Jesse Eisenberg), were not overly keen on Yonder, a development of identical, pistachio-colored houses, but they went for a visit anyway. Mahuia Bridgman-Cooper’s synth-heavy music nods to the classic John Carpenter scores of the 1970s and ’80s, an apt reference for this deliriously fun movie.

Maude gets out of many pickles during the tight running time, but one in particular is so insane, it might well make you laugh in sheer delight. The first third, which Maude mostly spends alone in a gun turret under the plane’s belly, is especially gripping, making the most of the tight space and our fearless heroine overhearing the Airmen’s dumb comments on the communications system. Over the course of a rather eventful flight she must battle the crew’s rank sexism, enemy fighter planes and a giant, bloodthirsty rodent-like stowaway.Īny one of these adversaries would be enough for a movie, but the New Zealand director Roseanne Liang deftly handles all three at a breathless pace. Why doesn’t this bonkers mix of science fiction, horror and action have the cult status it so richly deserves? In this 2020 movie, Chloë Grace Moretz (“Let Me In,” “Kick-Ass”) plays a seemingly fearless officer, Maude Garrett, who boards a B-17 bomber in 1943, carrying a mysterious package.
