Ash’s Ending: What Really Happens to Riya?

by

Fans are puzzling over the intriguing mid-credit and end-credit sequences of the newly premiered movie “Ash” by Flying Lotus, a sci-fi horror film. This production, featuring Eiza González and Aaron Paul, delves into themes of paranoia and survival in outer space.

The final scene appears to wrap up matters, but the scenes during and after the credits introduce fresh mysteries. Could it be that Riya isn’t entirely secure, or has the mischievous alien parasite devised a way to carry on with its nefarious scheme? Here’s an explanation of what transpires in Ash’s mid and post-credits sequences and how they impact Riya’s destiny.

What happens in Ash’s mid-credits scene?

As a gamer, I found myself face-to-face with the parasite that had been puppeteering me all this time in the nail-biting finale. After a relentless fight to the finish, I managed to expel and seemingly annihilate the beast. With the planetary base crumbling and air supplies dwindling, I fled aboard a ship bound for an orbiting space station, my last beacon of survival. The film’s closing shot depicted me heading towards that station, hinting at a flicker of hope.

However, the chilling mid-credits scene featuring Ash casts a shadow over the earlier optimism. As the credits unfold, we see a quick but unsettling image of the space station ensnared by the same ominous tendrils that plagued the planetary base earlier. This implies that the alien parasite, possibly an entire species, hidden aboard Riya’s spaceship, might still pose a threat to her. Thus, the mid-credits scene leaves viewers pondering if Riya has truly escaped or if she is about to encounter an even more formidable danger.

Does Eiza González’s Riya die in Ash’s end-credits scene?

In the movie, it’s unclear if Eiza González’s character, Riya, survives or perishes. However, a scene during the credits suggests that she may still be in harm’s way.

It’s possible that the parasite has managed to exert its power over Riya, as it can invade and command its hosts. Although Riya appears to have removed and apparently destroyed the organism on the base, the sight of the parasite’s tentacles on the space station implies that it may still be present.

Additionally, the closing scene implies that the alien’s main objective is to expand past the contained base and infect humans. If the creature survives and latches onto the space station, it might suggest that Riya unwittingly carries on the next stage of the infection.
