A haunted-house film set in a spaceship thats howRidley Scotts groundbreaking science-fiction/horrormash-upAlienwas characterized when it was released in 1979.
Its not a bad description, actually.
It was usually some combo of original recipe and extra crispy.

Were still in space, i.e., the place where no one can hear you scream.
This does not want to renovate that haunted house.
It wants to construct a shrine in its honor.
There may be hope of getting off this dead-end rock, however.
The temperature starts going up, which means that formerly frozen specimens start to thaw out.
Care to guess what the specimens are?
Well give you a hint.
They like to hug faces.
And, you know, implant embryos in human hosts that then burst out of their chests.
They also find Rook, the ships resident synthetic whos been ripped in half.
Seriously, filmmakers: Stop doing this.
Its an insult to everyone involved.
(Seriously, what isDont Breathebut anAlienfilm with Stephen Langs Blind Man subbing in for H.R.
Gigers Freudian-nightmare of a beast right down to the forced-fertilization plot point?)
Hes simply trying to do a cover version with as much fidelity as imaginable.
Does it tick off the boxes of what weve come to expect from this series?
Does it add up to more thanThe Chris Farley ShowofAlienmovies?
