The new Alien: Romulus trailer channels classic sci-fi horror


A welcome return.

After a brief teaser earlier in the year and some creepy behind-the-scenes footage, 20th Century Studios has released the first full trailer for Alien: Romulus, a standalone film from director Fede Álvarez. It also appears to really stick to the core tenets of the original film, with a small cast; dark, isolated setting; and only hints of the deadly alien itself. Romulus, on the other hand, looks analogous to Prey, a standalone story in the Predator universe that wasn’t saddled by the canon of its predecessors — and absolutely ruled because of it.
