Directed by renowned horror filmmaker Fede Alvarez (Don't Breathe, Evil Dead), Alien: Romulus revisits the chilling roots of the iconic sci-fi horror saga. Critics have lauded the film, with its Certified Fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes and box-office triumph as the second-highest-grossing entry in the franchise.

The screenplay, crafted by Alvarez and long-time collaborator Rodo Sayagues, is inspired by the characters originally created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett. Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott, the visionary behind the original Alien and prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, returns as a producer alongside Michael Pruss and Walter Hill.

Alien: Romulus represents a bold new chapter in the franchise, introducing fresh characters and innovative creature designs. Fans eager to delve deeper into the universe can explore the complete saga, now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, including classics like Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 and Prometheus.
