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.

(Warning: Spoilers ahead.)The scariest part of Alien: Romulus has nothing to do with xenomorphs. Instead, it’s a ghoulish callback that would make the series’ craven corporate tech entity, Weyland-Yutani, proud: The re-animation of Ian Holm, one of Alien’s late, great stars.The British actor, who passed away in 2020, memorably portrayed the franchise’s first-ever android character, Ash, in Ridley Scott’s original Alien film. In 1979, the late-stage reveal that Ash is secretly a robot dedicated to delivering the eponymous xenomorph to Weyland-Yutani no matter the human cost was a shock to the system. Holm’s resurrection in Romulus feels less like an...

The Controversial ‘Alien: Romulus’ Cameo Is Lazy and Disturbing

Alien remains a one-of-a-kind nightmare. There’s just no replicating the dread of Ridley Scott’s 1979 deep-space thriller. James Cameron knew that, and smartly did his own thing with Aliens, fashioning a sequel that traded the original’s ruthless minimalism for bug-hunt spectacle. Scott knew it, too, judging from the direction in which he took the franchise with a pair of prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, which were heavier on philosophy and mythology than terror. Some of the other entries in the series, including this week’s Alien: Romulus, have gestured toward the primal simplicity of the first, pitting a small group of desperate people against that slimy, sleek killing machine from beyond the stars. But all of them are echoes.

Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

One of the greatest twists in the original 1979 Alien isn’t just that there are murderous aliens on the loose with acid for blood, but that you might have a secret robot at your job that you didn’t even know about. As Ash in Alien, the late, great Ian Holm brought a crucial layer to the believability and thrill of the classic film. Not only was the horrible Xenomorph on the loose, but one synthetic crewmember wanted it there.

Does Alien: Romulus Have a Post-Credits Scene?

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.

Improbably, the latest Alien spinoff film — Alien: Romulus — is not only slaying at the box office but raking in decent reviews, too. With a respectable 82 percent critical score and 86 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus of Romulus is that it’s very much your parent’s Alien movie, but that’s okay. And while we can all agree that this is almost certainly an Alien movie that wants to remind you that it's an Alien movie with lots of callbacks and references to the more beloved entries in the franchise, the more discerning among Romulus watchers may have noticed that many of us are all starting to talk about Prometheus again.
