Seeking peace away from her turbulent life, a young woman accepts a job as a fire lookout at a remote wilderness tower. As she settles into her new role, eerie disturbances and strange occurrences begin to unfold, and she must uncover the chilling secrets that disrupt her isolation before it’s too late.

Our read · Lookout (2025) reads as a heavy, kinetic, inventive horror · sci-fi · thriller entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
