Alien: Romulus

The next instalment of this successful series, combining visionary sci-fi with edge-of-the-seat horror thrills is a throwback to the original trilogy overseen by Ridley Scott, James Cameron and David Fincher. Priscilla and Civil War star Cailee Spaeny plays a member of a deep-space crew who, while scavenging aboard a derelict space station, encounter a life form that threatens to destroy them. Fede Alvarez (Don’t Breathe, The Girl in the Spider’s Web) wrings every last drop of tension from this scenario, bringing the series back to the basics that made it such a success in the first place
