    Imagine watching Star Wars during an intense acid trip, that pretty much sums up Blood Machines. Directed by Seth Ickerman, Blood Machines is a pulsating synthwave-infused sci-fi spectacle that feels like a love letter to 1980s cyberpunk aesthetics and retro-futuristic space operas. As a sequel to the music video Turbo Killer (created in collaboration with synthwave artist Carpenter Brut), the film expands on the mysterious universe with a story that is more about mood and atmosphere than traditional narrative coherence. The plot follows two space hunters tracking down an escaped AI that manifests as a naked spectral woman, but the narrative remains deliberately cryptic and minimalistic. Dialogue is sparse, and exposition is virtually nonexistent, leaving much open to interpretation. Composer Carpenter Brut’s score is almost a character itself throughout the film and will stay with you long after the credits roll. Catch it now on Shudder.
