Under the Boogeyman’s Bed - an Overview of ALIEN: ROMULUS

SciFi horror a la aliens are now resurging like chest-bursters in a big way, and we couldn’t be happier. A period of a decade seemed to see these aliens take a backseat to a more artsy flavor, but now we’re getting the great nail-biting action that was so prevalent with Sigourney Weaver in the original film.

We’ll only hope ALIEN: ROMULUS lives up to the massive hype, and judging by the trailers, that seems to be the case. It’s blood-curdling. Skin-crawling. The idea of these face-huggers honestly was what made ALIEN so profoundly terrifying.

So without further ado, here’s a rundown of everything we know so far about the latest Ridley Scott edition that will make you not want to fly out in space anytime soon — much less want to carry around one of those eggs.
