Critics Consensus

Honoring its nightmarish predecessors while chestbursting at the seams with new frights of its own, Romulus injects some fresh acid blood into one of cinema's great horror franchises.

Audience Says

Resurrecting a franchise with equal servings of fan service and originality, Alien: Romulus keenly delivers Xenomorph blood and thrills.

I thought this was awesome... Yes, it plays the hits, but in a slightly different key. It's different enough for me to have had fun.

4/5

Every possible ingredient has surely been used, every angle exhausted. Major props, then, to Fede Álvarez for cooking up something fresh in this furiously exciting, gnarly seventh entry. He’s even found the eggs, too.

You can see the gears turning in every scene, and feel the film dutifully avoiding, well, alienation, the unknown, the discomfiting.

"It shows the director's comfort with genre and his ability to exploit the possibilities of sensory horror to the fullest, while recapturing the essence of the first films without falling into pastiche." [Full review in Spanish]

For the most part, the movie kept being like "hey! Remember face huggers!" or "hey! Remember the chest-bursting scene from the original! What if we did that again! Cool right?"

By the time we get to the third act, we’re in one of the best action sequences of the year. It’s unrelenting, constantly evolving and always with an appreciation of the films that came before.

Most graphic and intense horror film of 2024. Literally never seen anything like it. Incredible sound design and that imax ratio was awesome on the 1.90 screen.

I'm a fan of the Alien series and this one ranks in the middle of pack as far as the series goes. Not bad, but not as good as Alien or Aliens.

Another sequel squandered by old Hollywood wanting to have their input. Stole Ripley's legacy

Scary, suspenseful, and satisfying, Alien: Romulus gives Alien fans everything they could ask for and more. It’s a glorious return to form with just enough surprises to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I like my alien movies creepy and a little grotesque, Romulus didn't disappoint.
