At the end of time and space are phat beats: Blood Machines movie review

Two spacemen in the distant future get more than they bargained for while chasing a rogue AI to a far-off planet in Blood Machines, which debuts today on the Shudder streaming service.

The movie is a collaboration between synthwave musician Carpenter Brut and French directors RaphaĆ«l Hernandez and Savitri Joly-Gonfard (who work together under the pseudonym "Seth Ickerman"). Carpenter Brut and Seth Ickerman had joined forces before on the music video for Brut's 2016 song "Turbo Killer," which can be best described as two competing ritual sacrifices involving bad men and captive hotties. In the video, one ritual ritualizes in a delightfully artificial graveyard while the other does its thing aboard—get ready—a spaceship shaped like an inverted crucifix.

Cool. Car chases ensue, synthesizers blare, and everything is awash in the kind of threatening neon that befits an '80s homage.
