AT White is a musician who has infused his first film as a director with music, as well as composing the score himself. The music is definitely one of this Starfish’s biggest strengths and it has one of the best scores of the year. Combining sci-fi and an apocalyptic event with themes of grief and guilt, Starfish is an unusual film with a strange tone and atmosphere. It is quite reminiscent of Annihilation, in as much as that was a sci-fi film which was actually about depression, similarly this also has a seemingly fantastical backdrop whilst dealing with universal themes.
