As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for horror movies that leave me trembling in my seat, I can wholeheartedly say that Fede Alvarez has outdone himself yet again with his latest terrifying masterpiece, “Alien: Romulus.” The final scenes are nothing short of gut-wrenching and mind-boggling, making it one of the most talked-about sequences in the entire film.
Director Fede Alvarez has a reputation for creating intensely scary scenes throughout his career, and this is precisely why he included such disturbing elements in the recently premiered movie “Alien: Romulus”. Particularly, the concluding moments of the film amplify the fear factor, making those sequences some of the most debated aspects of the film. Alvarez revealed that when Disney executives merely read his plans for the film, they wondered if it was essential to go that far with the horror. This doubt only fueled him to push the boundaries even further. “Alien: Romulus” is currently playing in cinemas.

Following a fatal wound, Isabella Merced’s character, Kay, resorts to injecting herself with extraterrestrial DNA, hoping it would mend her. Surprisingly, this alters her own genetic makeup and subsequently gets transferred to her unborn child, culminating in an offspring that erupts from her, developing into a grotesque blend of human and xenomorph, commonly referred to as the “Offspring.” To make matters even more terrifying, Kay starts secreting a black ooze for nourishment of her Offspring.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alvarez explained that he prefers it when the studio expresses doubts or hesitation about his ideas during filmmaking. He said, “I want them to ask me, ‘Are you sure about this? Do you really want to do that?’ That means I’m on the right track and they’re being cautious.” This is how it typically goes for him in each of his movies. For instance, when he proposed the script for Don’t Breathe and the idea of blood rain in Evil Dead, the studio questioned how these elements could be realistically executed. However, they eventually agreed to Alvarez’s suggestions, despite their initial reservations.
He added, “They pondered, ‘Is this too much? Is it necessary to go there?’ And I replied, ‘Indeed, now that you suggest we shouldn’t, I will.’ Consequently, that’s exactly what we decided to do. If a corporation that is owned by Disney greenlights an Alien movie, then something must be amiss. So, we really tested the boundaries, and I’m glad we did so.”
It’s quite possible that people unfamiliar with Alvarez’s work could still expect a final scary scene in the movie, as this element is often a characteristic feature of many Alien sequels.
“Every film I make includes a final act. This is our approach to storytelling. There comes a time when the movie seems to be wrapping up, only to be followed by an unexpected fourth act. For instance, ‘Alien’ has a fourth act too, as the director emphasized. In fact, you might say that ‘Aliens’ features a small fourth act in its climactic final scene, a moment where it appears everything is resolved, but then delivers one more intense and extreme final sequence.”
Alien: Romulus is in theaters now.
