The sound and score are orchestrated harmoniously for ultimate effect creating an air of tension that will keep audiences at the edge of their seats. The score of Astral is truly unnerving and will keep audiences on their toes with gentle rhythm married with shocking interruptions and taunting tunes. This being said Astral‘s unsettling atmosphere is glorious and can almost entirely be the responsibility of expert sound engineering. This graceless mash-up contributes unfortunately to an abundance of floundered exchanges and half-hearted comments that ensure audiences start wishing the shadow people would just show up already. In an attempt to create a diverse friendship circle, Astral actually gave audiences a muddled and unconvincing group of people that seldom have something in common. Each playing a university stereotype, a nerd, a s**t, a chill guy, a jerk and a loser, the cast play a group of friends that regrettably have no on-screen chemistry. Unfortunately, the characters in Astral are very one dimensional. Although a little stiff, with plenty of awkward moments and cringe dialogue, there is still hope for bigger things for these rising hopefuls. Astral also introduces new and rising talent to the screen young and fresh-faced, this cast shows promise. Dillane exhibits great potential as his skills are put to the test when Astral reaches its climax.
Dillane, although stagnant in parts, comes into his own when the narrative begins to pick up speed in the second half. Cleverly bringing a sense of realism helps audiences commit and immerse themselves into the narrative, creating a nerve-wracking and paranoia-inducing experience.Īlex is played by Frank Dillane, mostly known for his role in Fear the Walking Dead and briefly as young Tom Riddle. Including a “don’t try this at home warning” and dropping periodical history references, Astral works to bring a sense of authenticity to the table. To further set the tone of unease the filmmakers make sure to sell astral projection as a real possibility. Audiences may find the explanations and discussions of astral projection to be fascinating but one can’t help but feel that it wasn’t all completely necessary to the film’s progression. This being said, a great portion of the movie’s first half is used simply as a platform to unload exposition. The steady pace and slow build lend to an unnerving and uncomfortable atmosphere.
