The Recall, released in 2017, is a science fiction horror movie directed by Mauro Borrelli, written by Reggie Keyohara III and Sam Acton King, and stars Wesley Snipes, RJ Mitte, Jedidiah Goodacre among others. The film follows a group of friends who head out to a secluded cabin for a weekend of relaxation, only to find themselves in the middle of a deadly alien invasion.

The movie starts with five teenagers, Charlie (Jedidiah Goodacre), Annie (Laura Bilgeri), Rob (Niko Pepaj), Nat (RJ Mitte), and Brendan (Vicellous Reon Shannon) on a road trip to a remote cabin in the woods. Once the friends arrive at the cabin, strange things start to happen. They notice something unusual happening in the sky and their phones stop working. Later that evening, a strange light descends from the sky and the group is suddenly confronted with the presence of an alien race who have come to earth with hostile intent.

The friends quickly realize that they are not alone in the woods and seek refuge in the cabin. They soon come across a mysterious stranger, played by Wesley Snipes, who appears to know more about the alien invasion than he lets on. The group eventually bands together to try and survive the relentless attacks of the alien invaders.

Throughout the movie, the friends' survival skills are put to the test as they try to avoid being killed by the aliens. It quickly becomes clear that the aliens are not just after them, but are also after the world domination. The movie proceeds with heart-pumping action as the group struggles to evade the aliens and seek out a way to escape.

One of the key elements in the movie is the character development. Each of the characters is well-defined and has their own unique personality traits. Charlie is the confident ladies' man, Annie is the smart, resourceful one, Rob is the strong and capable one, Nat is the physically challenged positive one, and Brendan is the laid-back comic relief.

Another highlight of the movie is its stunning visuals. The special effects used to bring the extraterrestrial creatures to life are impressive and add a surreal element to the movie. The film's color grading and cinematography are also noteworthy, creating a moody and suspenseful atmosphere.

As the movie progresses, the group faces an array of challenges and setbacks. The aliens are intelligent, fast, and relentless in their pursuit to hunt down the friends. As they flee and fight for survival, the group unravels the secret behind the alien technology and the invasion.

Overall, The Recall is a thrilling and well-made action movie. The story keeps the audience engaged throughout with its unpredictable twists and turns. The cast is excellent and brings the characters to life, and the movie is visually stunning, thanks to the special effects and cinematography. The film is a great example of a sci-fi horror movie done right, creating a sense of fear and dread throughout, thanks to an effective combination of suspense, action, and jump scares.

In conclusion, The Recall is worth watching for anyone who enjoys a good sci-fi horror movie, especially if you are a fan of Wesley Snipes or RJ Mitte. The movie offers an entertaining storyline with good characterization and fantastic special effects.
