Aliens invasión hits every apocalypse checkbox—invasion, darkness, humanity cornered—which is precisely why it doesn't work as subversion; it needs to *want* to be weird, not just execute the premise competently.
A clean, kinetic piece of genre work that understands its lineage in sci-fi action beats, though it doesn't quite earn enough formal distinction in the edit or sound design to distinguish itself from the tradition it inherits.
Three minutes of escalating dread hinges on one choice—whether Casanueva commits to silence or score during the reveal—and that decision either elevates the tension or dissolves it; the craft lives or dies in that moment.
