What is ‘Foe’ about?
The story of the film, dubbed a psychological sci-fi thriller, takes place in the near future when corporate domination and environmental damage are wreaking havoc on the world. ‘Foe’ depicts the story of Hen and Junior, a young married couple who live alone on their remote farm. A knock on the door one night from a stranger named Terrance changes everything: Junior has been chosen at random to travel to a big, experimental space station circling Earth, while his wife will be left in the company of someone else.
The novel’s version was described by critics as a combination of various genres, including literary fiction, science fiction, psychological thriller, and horror. As a result, it is expected that the film adaptation would follow suit, leaving moviegoers with a slew of unanswered questions.
