TheAlienfilms have largely been rated-R, giving the filmmakers plenty of freedom to go wild with the horror.
This extends to Fede Alvarez, who puts his experience onEvil DeadandDon’t Breatheto good use inAlien: Romulus.
The MPAA rated the film R “for bloody violent content and language.”
The coarse language isn’t the primary reason the film was given such a hard rating.
Instead, it’s the film’s blunt and bloody approach to violence that earned that score.
For long-time fans of the franchise, that’s an exciting prospect.
By contrast,Alien: Romulusis indeed very “bloody violent.”
For fans of horror films,Alien: Romulusis a great time.
However, this greater focus on a handful of characters makes each death hit even harder.
