Hey everyone, one of my most anticipated movies of the year - Fede Álvarez's Alien: Romulus - has now hit theaters. It is obviously the premier theatrical release of August and it's a film I was very excited for because I love the first two Alien movies but I'm also a big fan of Fede's horror movies. The trailers looked VERY promising and after the high-brow mumbo-jumbo that was Ridley Scott's two Alien prequels, it felt like the right time to take an Alien movie back to basics. Is Alien: Romulus one of the best horror movies of 2024 or is it a disappointing and safe Alien entry? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review!
