Before diving into the chilling depths of “Alien: Romulus,” let’s take a quick journey through the iconic franchise that started it all. Born from the creative minds of Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett, the original “Alien” (1979) introduced audiences to the terrifying Xenomorph, a parasitic extraterrestrial creature with a penchant for gruesome violence. Directed by Ridley Scott, the film follows the crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo as they encounter the deadly creature on a distant planet.
