This movie is not what it seems. From the title and description I thought this movie was a movie about a haunting or demonic possession. The commercial made it look kind of like a Blair witch type of movie. The first 30 seconds of the movie made it obvious that this was not the case. This is in fact an alien movie. I don't particularly like alien movies they're just not my thing, but after reading critic reviews I decided to give it a chance. With this movie I think a new genre was discovered Sci-Fi horror comedy. This movie breaks all the cliches of the usual thriller genre. Nothing is as it seems and every time you think you have the movie figured out something else wild happens. At one point I was convinced this movie was a parody. I kind of love this movie and what they went for. I know the movie is supposed to have deeper meanings and what not, but as someone who is not a serious person I enjoyed it as a Thriller comedy about aliens and the mystery of love. The first third of the movie had me on edge, the second third had me laughing, and the final third had me yelling at the screen. Once the twists and turns start they don't stop so just enjoy this wild ride for what it is.

It embraces an eerie and enigmatic tone that subsequently gets turned on its head, First half drags a bit but there's a neat twist about halfway through and then you're in for a hell of a ride until the final credits. Its a great movie , especially the ending, i mean you rarely see an ending like this in movies these days that makes so much sense. The lead performances were more than acceptable, Maika Monroe is very convincing and fits well into her role. There are many twists that made me re-watch a few scenes over and over again. Good cinematography for such a low budget movie. Significant Other delivers tense and entertaining moments, that are direct and to the point.

This was a survivalist type sci-fi that was well shot, directed and acted. All casting and performances were on point. The story had a few nice twists, but nothing revolutionary or jaw-dropping. It was well shot with great cinematography and a decent score. Even at a mere 84 min runtime and fairly decent pacing, it still felt longer due to the lack of any constant suspenseful narrative. It did have its moments of intrigue and suspense, but those were too few and far in between the basic camping survivalist theme. Nevertheless, it's a decent genre crossing film that's a decent one-time watch by a relatively newb co-writer and co-directing duo.
