The first movie you need to stream this weekend is Alien: Romulus – and it’s easily my favorite movie of the year. Directed by horror maestro Fede Álvarez, this seventh installment in the legendary “Alien” series is perfectly positioned between “Alien” and “Aliens” in the series’ timeline. The story follows a group of young space colonists who stumble upon an abandoned space station in the hopes of a new beginning beyond their mining colony. Initially searching for vital resources like cryopods, their mission quickly turns into a nightmare when they encounter one of the deadliest life forms in the universe.

The film introduces Rain Carradine (played by the phenomenal Cailee Spaeny), a fierce new heroine who follows in the footsteps of Sigourney Weaver’s legendary Ripley. Carradine proves to be just as tenacious and leads the fight for survival in this gripping, high-stakes horror thriller.
