It’s worth watching for fans of sci-fi thrillers, who enjoy the smaller-scale stories and practical effects. I just can’t help but feel it could’ve been better. Go to Full Review

Craig B @Boundsy 2d Not the best low budget SciFi horror movie I've seen, and certainly not the worst. Thankfully, it's short. The main thing that kept me going was seeing how the cute young park ranger ended up. See more MICHAEL F @Slavetothepages 3d So so so bad. The worst acting imaginable. Also unoriginal. There are aspects of this "film" eg: soundtrack and opening that sound and look very similar to another SF film completely out of the league of this filmmaker called "under the skin" (an incredible SF masterpiece) and an unabashed copy of the above in my opinion. Glaring idiocy of the female lookout keeper is an insult to intelligence and gender - just what the hell is going on with the screenwriter to come up with such dribble - read some quality literature !! I watched this on the Prime streaming service! Such low quality content. This film belongs on either Tubi or YouTube..in my opinion. See more Dee @DeeXxx Jan 26 Had potential to be a great thriller movie, if they changed the "plot" or had one to begin with. the "SCI-FI" element was was so dumb, not an ounce of horror. Just weird zombie alien things that don’t make sense. What a waste of an hour and 20 minutes - don’t watch it 🫠 See more Richard B @Komard Jan 5 Lookout ultimately reveals itself as a sci-fi thriller, but it never justifies why that story needed to be told. By the end, the film confirms the presence of an alien entity and a mysterious object that enhances strength and speed, yet stops short of explaining purpose, origin, or consequence. The threat is identified, but the stakes remain . Character turns in the final act feel abrupt rather than earned, and major revelations arrive too late to feel integrated. The alien’s ability to move between hosts and communicate through technology is intriguing, but underdeveloped. When the film concludes, it resolves the immediate danger while leaving the central questions unanswered. Ambiguity can be effective, but here it feels like omission. Lookout builds atmosphere and tension competently, yet declines to articulate its own thematic or narrative payoff. The result is a film that explains what happened, but not why it mattered. See more Phil S. @Xenothos Jan 4 Slow buildup but entertaining. The story was empty though. See more Julien G @Tahitien12 Jan 3 A pointless story, painfully bad acting, and editing so sloppy it feels accidental. At no point does the film deliver any real horror, nor does it bother to explain its so-called "sci-fi" elements. What’s left is 80 minutes of confusion, boredom, and regret — 80 minutes of my life I will never get back. See more Read all reviews
