"Alien: Romulus" is hands down the best movie I’ve seen this year. In fact, it’s creeping into my top five of all time — and no, I’m not exaggerating. Experiencing it in the theater was absolutely wild. But ever since that thrilling opening weekend, I’ve felt a bit of a void, like something’s missing ... probably the thrill of anticipation for this masterpiece. If you’re feeling that same emptiness, it might be time to dive into some movies that evoke a similar vibe.
The story of "Alien: Romulus" centers on a group of young space colonists who enter a derelict space station for some highly-regulated equipment, only to find themselves in a deadly encounter with the terrifying Xenomorph. The movie brilliantly returns to the franchise's horror roots, with a focus on claustrophobic tension and intense survival horror. With these elements in mind, I’ve picked out a few movies that might just fill that void for you.
