In the near future, environmental strain has caused food shortages around the world. Technology has provided a narrow path forward, with VastGro agricultural drones maximizing the yield from what farmlands remain. Working within this farmland is Claudia (Cleopatra Coleman) and her mentor John (Craig muMs Grant), two compassionate care providers employed by Transitions, a non-profit assisted suicide organization. When John dies under mysterious circumstances, Claudia's boss and lover Jason (Leo Fitzpatrick) asks her to go back into the region to finish their work, assisting sick farmers to their rest. But once there, a group of locals led by Joanna (Beth Grant) and Isaiah (Shane Coffey) help her to uncover a deadly connection between the health of her clients and the technology they are using.

Glenn Kenny

All of [its] nuances, as well as whatever satirical social commentary the movie wanted to make, are lost in the climax.

Coleman's rush to condemn corporations' profit motive seems too simplistic and skimps on the details of social disintegration that the global agricultural crisis must necessarily provoke.

The last act, though, is a total whiff - too rushed, too riddled with plot holes and too incongruously hopeful to take seriously.

Hover is an expertly crafted horror film focusing on a future almost too close to home.

Little effort is made to evoke the seriousness of humanity's predicament, the farm skills of the drones are left sketchy, and in the end, the menace posed by the story's villains does not make much logical sense.
