One of 2024’s Best Horror Movies is Now Available to Stream

The legendary Alien franchise gave birth to an all-new terrifying sci-fi horror thriller and 20th Century Studios’ Alien: Romulus is now streaming on Disney+.

Director Fede Alvarez takes the phenomenally successful Alien franchise back to its iconic roots in the next jaw-dropping instalment heralded by critics as “sheer terror” (Brian Truitt, USA Today) and “utterly breathtaking” (Andrew J. Salazar, Discussing Film). Alien: Romulus is Certified-Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and has already thrilled audiences at the global box office, becoming the second-highest-grossing film in the Alien franchise.

Alien: Romulus is the start of a new chapter with a brand-new story unlike any other Alien movie that came before it, featuring all-new creatures and characters that are “tense enough to grab you by the throat” (Owen Gleiberman, Variety). And fans can dive deeper into the iconic franchise by binge-watching every Alien movie now on Disney+ including Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

But what is Alien: Romulus about? This truly terrifying sci-fi horror-thriller takes the phenomenally successful Alien franchise back to its iconic roots. While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young colonisers come face-to-face with the most relentless and deadly life form in the universe.

Starring Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu, Alien: Romulus is directed by horror master Fede Alvarez from a screenplay by Alvarez and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. Ridley Scott — who directed the original Alien and the series entries Prometheus and Alien: Covenant — produces with Michael Pruss and Walter Hill.

It’s a blast, and well worth a watch when you get the chance!
