Two of my favorite trailers for this week share a common theme: parasitic aliens. The trope has given us some of the finest moments in cinema history; consider the whole Alien franchise, the horrifying dog transformation in The Thing, or that scene from Spaceballs. You could make a convincing argument that Star Trek’s Borg race are parasites of a kind, too. It’s a versatile premise that lets a movie be as heady or grotesque or action-packed as its creators want.
It feels good to see the franchise turn back to its roots; I liked the more ruminative Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, but they weren’t everyone’s cup of tea. In this new trailer, scavengers on an abandoned space station turn into prey. It’s dark and claustrophobic; it has chest-bursters and facehuggers; and it looks absolutely terrifying. The movie hits theaters on August 16th. MaXXXine Ti West’s horror trilogy concludes with MaXXXine.
