The Dog Stars was based on a post-apocalyptic novel by Peter Heller and focuses on a former mechanic by the name of Hig, who lost his family during a pandemic (ironically considering 2020). The cast is relatively decent with Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin and Allison Janney and is directed by Ridley Scott. This was an underwhelming and boring mess.

I loved Weapons last year, hence the reason why I'm at least taking this movie into consideration. Cregger has not done a movie that people have disliked since his very first, so I don't really see thi...
