Now available to own on Digital HD and coming to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on December 3, is the blood-chilling spectacle– Alien: Romulus. Read on to find out what bonus features await if you're ready for more nightmare fuel.
Alien: Romulus
Somewhere in space on a sun-less mining colony, Rain (Cailee Spaeny) is working tirelessly to get herself and her synthetic brother Andy (David Jonsson) off this planet to one where they can live free. Just when she thought she had reached her required hours, Weyland-Yutani screwed her over. Desperate, she and Andy join up with her ex-boyfriend Tyler (Archie Renaux) and his crew in order to escape. But their plan requires them to salvage cryopods from a nearby decommissioned space station. On board, they quickly discover why this place is abandoned and find themselves in a fight for their lives against alien lifeforms. In this, the film returns the franchise to its most basic roots– a fight for survival in space.
Listen, Alien Romulus scared the sh*t out of me, just like Alien did when my parents thought it would be fun to show their young child a movie they liked from the 70s. Romulus gets back to basics, delivering memorable gore, heart-pounding terror, and a body-horror scene that is disgustingly good. Plus with multiple Xenomorphs and an army of facehuggers, what's not to love? The final act sees Álvarez jumping out of the sandbox to forge a new and unforgettable path that could lead to something else equally scary in the future. Thanks to its blood-chilling spectacle, it's got what the fans want and that's all that matters.
