So to see them kinda do a Prometheus styled spin on the ending of Resurrection blew my freaking mind and the hybrid is SO UGLY I love him Linking the narrative of Alien directly with the narrative of Prometheus (and potentially Covenant?) is just The black goo The original alien that Ripley blew out of the airlock surviving in a cocoon The zero-g acid blood obstacle course scene Andy showing the best and worst of all three major synthetics (Bishop's love of humanity, Ash/Rook's undying loyalty to corporate goals, and David's f*cking weirdness) The Wey-Yu corporation and more world building around their bastard plans The HYBRID AGAIN Absolutely hit my alien g-spot, I might go see it again ngl Well if his tail was any indication A sad lack of musical numbers Spoiler I didn’t expect any Prometheus connection at all tbh and even though it’s one of my favourite movies I thought it was ok if Romulus was purely a xenomorph movie. So to see Fede incorporate the storylines of Prometheus and the first Alien so seamlessly was so satisfying and heartwarming to see. I know Prometheus is so divisive but seeing that he still took the time to try to connect all the dots shows his commitment to authenticity within the Alien universe. I’m definitely seeing it again, but this time in IMAX. EDIT: Can we also talk about how Kay endured more bs than anyone else in the film? Girl is basically dying for the whole last hr of the film.

Gorehound 3,649 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) I love horror movies but it's rare that I genuinely get scared or disturbed by them. Guess I've become a bit desensitised to them over the years. The only one that I can think of off the top of my head that actually shocked me is Hereditary. That movie is really good and a great mind-f*ck. I'm super excited for Robert Egger's rendition of Nosferatu, coming out this Christmas. It looks really artistic and gothic. And his films (The Witch, The Lighthouse, etc) are masterpieces! But if you guys are ever looking for a fun horror movie that really makes your skin crawl I highly recommend Infested. It's a French movie and is by far the best spider horror I've seen since Arachnophobia. And for anyone who's properly scared of spiders this movie will definitely freak you tf out lol. It's a lot of fun. (Tho you will have to watch it with subtitles because they haven't released it with English dub unfortunately.)

Spoiler Kay was one of the rare few I was hoping would live too 'cause she went through so much sh*t First she's stuck on that garbage world, then she gets knocked up by the biggest asshole of the crew (whose death was absolutely self inflicted, idiot just lied there on the floor while acid poured on him ), chased by the first living alien we see, falls and hurts her leg, gets f*cked over by Andy's new programming, gets mortally wounded and kidnapped by the alien, gets cocooned in the hive but escapes being facehugged, her brother dies saving her, she's left alone with the pathogen and a difficult choice while Rain goes back for Andy, she gives birth to something that looks like a football sized acid filled almond , her baby's now an 8 foot tall mutated monster, and I'm sitting here thinking "oh, she HAS to get the kill shot on this thing, right? And then she, Rain, and Andy go off to Yvaga together, yeah?" Just for the scene to return to her bastard giant son sucking the literal life out of her A TRAGEDY Oh, and yeah, as much as I LOVE the Alien franchise, I was one of the few that wanted Scott to move away from the monster slashers and give us more mythology and world building around the engineers. I loved Covenant but it's sad he was pressured into making it. At least we got daddy David out of it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juniper 788 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Alien Romulus is everything I asked for. So many references to especially the first two movies - which I absolutely L O V E. Aliens from 1986 probably being my favorite movie ever so I was so happy watching it and now I can’t wait to watch it again. After Prometheus and Covenant this was finally a step in the right direction. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
