ROMULUS arrives on digital; Full Face Hugger Attack Scene Officially Released

Fede Álvarez’s franchise revival, Alien: Romulus, was a big hit at the box office, so we wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Don’t breathe director was already in talks to direct a sequel.

If you missed the movie on the big screen, Romulus is now available for purchase on digital platforms, and Fandango has officially released an extended preview highlighting perhaps the film’s most intense few minutes.

In the clip, Rain Carradine and her makeshift crew are seen arriving at the seemingly abandoned and decommissioned Remus space station to salvage some fuel for their journey to a more hospitable planet.

Unfortunately, they soon discover that dozens of face-huggers were in the process of being transported in stasis, and are released when Andy tries to access the ship’s computer.

As Andy, Tyler and Bjorn fight for their lives against the ruthless creatures, Rain and Navarro attempt to log on to the remains of an android, only to realize that Rook – the same model as Ian Holm’s Ash from Ridley Scott’s original film. Stranger – still kicks.

Check out the preview at the link below and let us know if you plan to watch Alien: Romulus again (or for the first time) on the small screen in the comments section.

“Not a perfect organism, but despite an overreliance on retreading old ground, Alien: Romulus marks an exciting return to form, and is certainly destined to rank as the third best Alien film,” we said in our judgement by Alien: Romulus.

“The sci-fi/horror thriller takes the phenomenally successful Alien franchise back to its roots: while clearing the deep ends of an abandoned space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”

The film stars Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla), David Jonsson (Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Isabela Merced (The Last of Us), Spike Fearn (Aftersun) and Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Rodo Sayagues (Don’t Breathe 2), based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett.

Alien: Romulus is produced by Ridley Scott (Napoleon), who directed the original Alien and the series entries Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, Michael Pruss (Boston Strangler) and Walter Hill (Alien), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (Charlie’s Angels), Brent O’Connor (Bullet Train) and Tom Moran (Unstoppable) as executive producers.
