The "Alien" movie saga has had its ups and downs. While entries like "Alien: Covenant" and "Prometheus" have received their share of moderately positive attention, the first two movies remain the franchise's brightest gems. Fans of Xenomorph horror would no doubt love to see the first brilliant entry in the series since 1986's "Aliens." Unfortunately, it's still unclear whether that fine day is looming on the horizon. The first reactions to Fede Álvarez's upcoming "Alien" movie are now here — and while many are positive, there's enough division that it remains to be seen whether "Alien: Romulus" will blow you away.

Alien: Romulus First Reactions Aren't Holding Back

The hype surrounding Alien: Romulus has grown exponentially after the first batch of reviews from critics. Alien: Romulus is the latest entry to the Alien franchise and is set between 1979's Alien and 1986's Aliens. The horror/sci-fi movie revolves around a ragtag group of space colonists encountering the Xenomorphs while...

Alien: Romulus Reviews: Critics Share Strong First Reactions

There’s a new Alien movie in cinemas this week, which is subtitled ‘Romulus’ for a couple of very good reasons. When it comes to the Alien movies, horror classic Alien and action masterpiece Aliens had pretty simple and self-explanatory titles, as did the unfairly derided Alien 3.

Twisted horror movie with killer ending is about to leave Netflix

For many fans, the Alien franchise officially ended after James Cameron’s Aliens. Everything that came afterward never felt like it matched the standard of the first two films as the story ventured into strange terrains. Never mind Ridley Scott’s much talked-about prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, that seemed obsessed with philosophical metaphors and the creation (as well as the meaning) of life. Consequently, the anticipation for the Ellen Ripley-less Alien: Romulus was about as high as a Chihuahua looking forward to a bath.

‘Alien: Romulus’ Cares, Scares, and Dares to Be Controversial

One of the biggest, most controversial cult horror movies of all time is believed to be banned in 46 countries – and now, you can stream it on Shudder wherever you are. Some of the best horror movies require a strong stomach; Martyrs boasts some of the most horrific, skin-peeling gore you could imagine, The Fly’s rancid body horror could make anyone queasy, and Jigsaw’s traps in Saw are infamously brutal.

	The upcoming 'Alien: Romulus' is not a sequel or a prequel, but sits smack-dab in the middle of the ever-growing Alien origin story.

How To Watch The ‘Alien’ Movies In Chronological Order

The Alien franchise has, let’s face it, been struggling for life for decades. Prequels like Prometheus and Alien: Covenant and the much-maligned Alien vs. Predator hybrid films have given us nowhere near the power of the original movies by Ridley Scott and James Cameron. Which is probably why director Fede Álvarez made the smart decision to set his movie Alien: Romulus in between Scott’s 1979 original Alien and Cameron’s gun-heavy ’80s sequel Aliens. Suddenly, gloriously, it feels like we’ve been cryogenically frozen and transported to the midway point between the two.

Herbie J Pilato

He was born on April 2, 1949, in New Haven, Connecticut, and died of a heart attack at only 63 on August 14, 2012, in Palm Beach Gardens. His birth name was Ronald Gabriel Paolillo, but his stage name was Ron Palillo who was best known as Arnold Dingfelder Horshack on TV's hit 1970s sitcom, Welcome Back, Kotter.

Runner-ups Purvis – Alien: Resurrection (1997) If pure sci-fi camp is your entertainment of choice, look no further than Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s wacky, if not outride absurd, Alien: Resurrection. Despite solid performances from Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder, the fourth movie lacks the artistic flourishes of the previous three entries and trades brains for goofy, B-movie shenanigans. The insanity reaches its apex when a man named Purvis uses a Chestburster to off a bad guy, a ridiculous moment that tosses Resurrection into Sci-Fi movie territory.

Do you know any self-righteous person who rarely apologizes? We all have different weaknesses and offend others once in a while. However, some zodiac signs’ pettiness and insecurity hinder them from seeking forgiveness when they cross someone’s path. Instead, they try to prove that they were right when they did something.

3 Zodiac Signs That Don’t Apologize

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The very first Alien in 1979 described its central character as a “perfect organism” with a “structural perfection” that “is matched only by its hostility.” And while not every Alien movie has been structurally perfect, their hostility toward humanity (and especially poor Sigourney Weaver) might be unmatched among big Hollywood franchises.
