Project Ithaca

Five strangers wake up aboard a silent, dimly lit spaceship cutting through the void. They don't know how they got there, and every corridor seems designed to press on their nerves. The vessel appears to feed on their fear, using it as fuel to keep moving and tightening the grip on their minds. As they search for a way out, they uncover a troubling pattern: this may not be a one off incident. Humankind has been abducted before, perhaps for generations, with terror powering the ships that harvest the unknown. The group must stay calm long enough to outwit their captors. Tensions flare as strangers weigh loyalty against survival.

Released in 2019 the sci fi thriller Project Ithaca was directed by Nicholas Humphries and is based on an original concept by Anthony Artibello and Kevin C. Bjerkness, with a budget of $3,782,500.

The film has a modest reception, sitting at a 5.86 out of 10 from 111 votes. Viewers and some critics note the claustrophobic atmosphere and the way fear becomes a narrative engine, inviting questions about power, consent, and human resilience.
