Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced and David Jonsson come face-to-face with facehuggers and Xenomorphs in this new Alien instalment.
Fede Alvarez proved he could successfully take on a long-running horror franchise with 2013’s Evil Dead and now he’s trying his hand at another with Alien: Romulus.
Set between the events of Alien and Aliens, this sci-fi horror follows a group of young space colonists led by Rain (Cailee Spaeny) and her ‘brother’ Andy (David Jonsson) who escape from their oppressive and dark planet to find a new system with light and a hopeful future.
To pull off the feat, the team need to steal cryo pods so they can put themselves into hypersleep for the long journey. They decide to scavenge the pods from a derelict space station – Romulus and Remus – but once they board the craft, they soon realise why it has been abandoned.
When you create a new instalment in a long-running franchise, you have to balance honouring the old and bringing something new. There are some surprises and it’s not a complete copy...
