Settlers review: Despite its sprawling extraterrestrial backdrop, Wyatt Rockefeller's atmospheric, well-designed debut maintains the sensibility of a hothouse chamber piece

Rockefeller piles up the hints that they’re not alone with a steadily tightening sense of dread, breaking into all-action mode with an impressively orchestrated cat-and-mouse shootout that nonetheless proves a bit of a red herring.
