WHAT IS IT: “Cargo”, a moody, ambitious sci-fi thriller from Switzerland, directed by Ivan Engler and Ralph Etter, and co-written by Engler, Arnold Bucher, Johnny Hartmann, and Thilo Roscheisen. Made for an estimated $4.5 Swiss Francs (about $4.2 million dollars), the film recently made its North American debut at the SXSW Festival.

Swiss filmmaker Ivan Engler brings us another promising European dark corridor spaceship creature feature.
No trailer yet. It’s promised soon. There are never enough Alien style movies. Below, all the gory details.
