#Lookout

I watched a weird one on the Tubi earlier which seemed and started out pretty normal. This chick gets a job looking out for fires in this tower out in the wilderness. She's stuck there for an entire month in isolation, and normally in a situation like that, there's usually some reason revealed why a character ends up wanting such a job like this. Not only does that not happen, but there's zero character development. I don't believe we get to know this character at all. On the way to her first day, she runs into some backwoods rednecks who is implied to be poachers, but nothing ever comes of that. Most of the movie, this girl is getting used to her surroundings, talking to people on the radio, walking around, etc.

This all seems like some thriller building up to the point where the rednecks from earlier might come back and start some trouble, but that never happens. Instead, there's this nearby camper who was friendly enough at first, but turns out to be an alien. Or some guy inhabited by an alien. This alien is after... something. This girl has some kind of jewel or something. We never learn what it is or what it does or why this alien-possessed person wants it or why it's important to the girl, but the rednecks DO make another appearance, however it's to help out the girl. Somehow, they seem to at least have a vague idea of what's going on here, but get themselves killed by this Terminator-like Alien-possessed person before they manage to get anything out. After easily killing all the rednecks, he's taken out shockingly quick by the girl, who quickly gets a ride home from her boss, who I'm guessing will be accepting her resignation the next day. Is the alien really dead or has it merely found a new vessel? Yeah, that was not how I expected this to go at all. 4/10
