As a lifelong fan of the Alien franchise, I can confidently say that my excitement for Alien: Romulus is at an all-time high! Having grown up on Ridley Scott’s original masterpiece and revisiting it countless times, I have developed an affinity for the series’ blend of horror, suspense, and science fiction. Fede ?lvarez, director of Evil Dead (2013) and Don’t Breathe, is the perfect choice to helm this latest installment, as his knack for creating tension-filled, terrifying experiences will undoubtedly breathe new life into the franchise.
The long-awaited “Alien: Romulus” has hit theaters, with director Fede Alvarez, known for his work on “Evil Dead” (2013) and “Don’t Breathe”, steering this new chapter in the beloved sci-fi franchise back towards its horror roots. Critics and audiences are already raving about it, as evidenced by its high scores on Rotten Tomatoes – 81% from critics and 87% from audiences. At San Diego Comic-Con, Alvarez spoke with ComicBook about the film and explained that unlike his “Evil Dead” remake, “Alien: Romulus” is less graphic in its horror elements.
Alvarez stated, “It can be quite gruesome in certain instances, yet it’s often the unseen that amplifies the fear. In a sense, we had a similar predicament with Evil Dead. Initially, showing more led to an NC-17 rating. We learned from this when we submitted for approval and were told, ‘We need to reduce.’ So, we trimmed some shots to reveal less, and we received an R rating. However, the edited version was significantly scarier … It’s important to present a sufficient amount and then leave room for the audience to imagine what’s happening.”
“It is a classic scene on the first movie when Ridley [Scott] decides to cut to the cat, right in the first kill,” he continued. “And that makes it way more terrifying because, through the eyes of the cat, you imagine what was happening there. So it’s a fair amount, but hopefully, a lot of it happens more in your brain, where you imagine what’s happening … To be ‘a lot of gore’ for me, it has to be a lot of gore. So, you know, probably for you it was gonna be [a lot of gore], but for me, it’s not a lot.”

What Is Alien: Romulus About?
As a dedicated gamer, I’m excited about the upcoming game titled “Alien: Romulus.” Unlike previous installments in the Alien franchise, this isn’t a direct continuation. Instead, it’s more of a spin-off, where we find ourselves among a group of young space explorers. These brave souls are about to encounter the scariest creature the universe has ever known – the Xenomorph!
Initially, I wanted to present the subject from an unusual perspective – that of individuals who aren’t experts or scientists; they’re not even adults yet. This idea appealed to me because it allows ordinary people to take center stage in the story, much like our own selves. We, as the audience, are not necessarily young, but rather we’re all newcomers when it comes to understanding the complexities of space travel. When characters are professionals or scientists, they often have more knowledge than us. But when they’re in their early twenties, they’re still learning how to navigate through unfamiliar territories, like operating a spaceship’s airlock.
He continued, “All their parents probably worked on the same ship when they were kids, and that’s how they got to know each other … There’s a lot of history between them because they’re the only family they have. They truly act more like surrogate siblings; some of them even lived under the same roof. A lot of the big themes of the movie are about siblinghood and what does that mean? The Romulus of it all, and the bigger plot with Weyland-Yutani, is actually connected to that as well.”
The sci-fi series “Alien: Romulus” features Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Rodo Sayagues, based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett, who were also behind the original “Alien” films.
Alien: Romulus is now playing in theaters.
