Our take on Alien: Romulus

Fede Álvarez's 2024 entry sends a group of young space colonizers scavenging the deep recesses of a derelict space station, where they come face to face with the universe's most terrifying life form. Rooted in the franchise's blend of horror and science-fiction, it leans into dread, cramped corridors and predatory menace, prioritizing atmosphere and survival tension over sprawling mythology. Álvarez, known for hard-edged genre craft, keeps the stakes intimate and the fear physical. It suits viewers who want claustrophobic creature horror and can handle intense scares and violence. Newcomers can follow it, though series fans will catch more resonance. As lean, nerve-fraying sci-fi horror, it commits fully to menace.
