Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Flying Lotus (Steven Ellison) pivoted from experimental jazz-rap producer to horror auteur after his 2017 film Kuso literally made audiences vomate—Ash is his 'mainstream' apology that nobody asked for.
The 'baffled' and 'farcical' keywords aren't accidents—Ash deliberately sabotages coherent sci-fi logic to mirror Riya's fractured subjectivity, making the film's 5.2 rating almost a badge of honor.
