Director Delmar Washington’s debut is a smart thriller about a Black teenager, Jaylen (Skylan Brooks), trying to adapt to life in a small, southern, and overwhelmingly white town; if that’s not enough, he witnesses the strange disappearance of his friend Amira (Clark Backo) in a blast of white light. The local sheriff isn’t interested in looking beyond Jaylen in investigating the abduction, forcing the teen to help his friend all on his own. The film works better, perhaps, as an exploration of small-town racism than it does as an alien abduction horror movie, which likely makes it an excellent chaser for Nope.
