The latest trailer for Alien: Romulus is intense, gory, and impressive.
The recent Alien films have been generally well-received, but many fans feel they lack the intense, visceral tension of the original movies. The new trailer for Alien: Romulus suggests a return to the franchise’s dark and claustrophobic origins.
Alien: Romulus features an all-new crew of doomed spacefaring souls who encounter a deadly Xenomorph in an abandoned spaceship. This time it’s a crew of space colonizers scavenging for resources from abandoned ships and stations.
This Alien movie is written and directed by Fede Alvarez, the filmmaker behind cult horror movies like the two Don’t Breathe movies and the Evil Dead remake. So yes, Alien: Romulus is going to be very tense and very, very bloody. While the original Alien merely attached a parasitoid xenomorph to a crew member’s face, the trailer for Romulus is ready to show a face hugger burrowing into some poor guy’s head. Yup.
Alien: Romulus arrives in theaters on Friday, August 16.
