The first trailer for Fede Álvarez' Alien: Romulus is finally here, and it doesn't disappoint. The team has been quietly creating this year's new Alien movie, due 16 August, with one eye on returning the franchise to its handmade, slow-burn horror roots.
The director behind horror hits Don’t Breathe and Evil Dead isn't averse to turning on the VFX when needed, but also he's placed physicality and eking out tension from tight spaces high on the list of things that tick in his movies… ideal then, for an Alien movie designed around claustrophobic terror.
