*** Read my review of the 4k restoration of Alien and check out images from the film *** So often horror films have an extra opponent every bit as evil and twisted as the main threat.

1st March 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

She'd always hoped her last words would be something worthy and shakespearean, not "ghostly faces in mirrors? don't be ridic..."

Alien: Covenant – The Crew Are Having A Last Supper, Cue Gods & Monsters

23rd February 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Looking at their meagre rations the crew wished the religious parallels stretched to the feeding of the 5000

The religious parallels were everywhere in Prometheus. What were the Engineers but vengeful Old Testament Gods, creating then destroying at will? And now a 4-minute prologue to Alien: Covenant has just been released, directed by Luke Scott, entitled the Last Supper. In Christianity the Last Supper is the last meal that Jesus and his Apostles shared,… Alien: Covenant – The Crew Are Having A Last Supper, Cue Gods & Monsters Read More

25th December 2016 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

But don’t worry, as the new Alien: Covenant trailer is finally here! And it’s good! Though pretty much like previous Alien stuff, with lots of running down long industrial looking spaceship corridors, and things bursting… The Alien: Covenant Trailer Is Here To Save You From Christmas Hell Read More
