The entire crew is unaware of the impending nightmare set to descend upon them when the alien parasite planted inside its unfortunate host is birthed. Watching this right after Prometheus I have to wonder what happened with the other flick. This one just oozes atmosphere. The set design along with the alien are fantastic and look lived in. It’s everything I want in a horror flick about an unusual alien species. This feels like we’re tagging along in a living breathing world and it’s still very easy to love.
