War of the Worlds

• Science Fiction
• Thriller

Presented entirely through the screens of a Homeland Security analyst, "War of the Worlds" unfolds as a uniquely claustrophobic and increasingly paranoid real-time thriller. The film doesn’t depict spectacle, but rather the unraveling of control as a global attack manifests solely as data streams, alerts, and frantic online searches. It’s a chilling exploration of the digital frontier as a new battlefield, and the isolating effect of surveillance technology when faced with an unknowable threat – focusing not on the invasion itself, but on the creeping dread and questioning of official narratives experienced by one man trapped within the system. The tension builds from a procedural cybersecurity drama into a frantic struggle for truth against bureaucratic obfuscation, presenting a grounded, terrifying intimacy rarely seen in alien invasion narratives.
