Skip this one. The premise of an astronaut bringing something sinister back from space has potential, but 'The Astronaut' suffers from a muddled execution that can't decide if it's sci-fi or haunted-house horror. Without critical consensus to back up its high-concept setup, you're better off rewatching 'Life' or 'Annihilation' tonight.

Plot

After returning from her first space mission, astronaut Sam Walker is placed under NASA’s care at a high security house for rehabilitation and medical testing. However, when disturbing occurrences begin happening around the property, she fears that something extraterrestrial has followed her back to Earth
