'Alien: Romulus,' reviewed by a frightened dad
Briefly

The Alien franchise has struggled to maintain its cultural relevance, but the release of 'Alien: Romulus' attempts to revive its horror roots, appealing to both old and new audiences.
As I stood in line for the screening, memories of my childhood fear resurfaced, and the thought of backing out crossed my mind; however, duty called.
At 9 years old, I couldn’t handle the tension and fled the auditorium during 'Aliens'; now as an adult, I confront my fears for my profession.
'Alien: Romulus' represents a significant step back to the franchise’s horror origins, a genre that had deeply influenced my early experiences with film.
