In this 2010 science fiction film directed by Gareth Edwards, the story unfolds in a world where alien life forms have taken over parts of Mexico following a NASA probe crash. The plot follows a photojournalist and his employer’s daughter as they navigate through the infected zone to reach the safety of the U.S. border. The film is notable for its innovative use of visual effects on a limited budget, with Edwards handling most of the effects himself. Starring Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able, the movie is a testament to independent filmmaking. It can be viewed for free on 123Movies / Movies123.
