🎬 The Astronaut's Wife (1999) – Random Movie #14649
This week, we review The Astronaut's Wife (1999), Rand Ravich’s eerie blend of sci-fi and psychological thriller. Johnny Depp stars as Spencer Armacost, a NASA astronaut who returns from a mysterious space mission… different. Charlize Theron plays his increasingly unsettled wife, Jillian, who begins to suspect that whatever came back to Earth isn’t entirely human. With its slow-burning tension and themes of identity, trust, and possession, the film probes deep into the fear of the unknown, especially when that unknown is sleeping beside you.
