'Bent Heavens is the darkest, angriest alien horror story that I've ever encountered. On the heels of the worldwide success of The Shape of Water, Daniel Kraus returns with a horrifying and heartbreaking thriller about the lengths people go to find justice and the painful reality of grief. Once you parse that out you may immediately think you know what is going on. Krause dumps you in the deep end from the beginning-you start saddled with an underage narrator who speaks his own idiosyncratic lingo.

In that moment, she’s faced with a painful realization: her dad was telling the truth. However, on the very day she chooses to destroy the traps, she discovers in one of them a creature so inhuman it can only be one thing. Done going through the motions for Doug’s sake. Done pretending she believes her father’s absurd theories. Every Sunday, she and her lifelong friend Doug Monk trudge through the woods to check the traps Lee left behind, traps he set to catch the aliens he so desperately believed were after him.īut Liv is done with childhood fantasies. Liv has long accepted that he’s dead, though that doesn’t mean she has given up their traditions. Liv Fleming’s father went missing more than two years ago, not long after he claimed to have been abducted by aliens.
