Spectral | Official Trailer [HD] | Netflix

Spectral is a gripping sci-fi action thriller directed by Nic Mathieu. Released on Netflix, the film delivers a fast-paced blend of science fiction, military tactics, and supernatural elements, creating a unique and thrilling viewing experience.

The story follows DARPA scientist Dr. Mark Clyne (played by James Badge Dale), who is sent to Moldova, where U.S. forces are engaged in a deadly conflict. The soldiers are facing a mysterious and seemingly invincible enemy: ghost-like entities that can kill with a single touch. These “spectrals” are invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen through specialized goggles designed by Dr. Clyne.

As the team investigates, they discover that the entities are not supernatural but rather the result of a catastrophic experiment gone wrong. The spectrals are revealed to be energy-based life forms created from human consciousness, trapped in a deadly loop. With time running out, Dr. Clyne and a group of elite soldiers must devise a way to stop the entities before they wipe out all life in the region.
