Alien: Romulus’s Director’s Other Horror Movies Nailed Their Small Cast
Fede Alvarez’s Earlier Horror Movies Utilized This Approach
Evil Dead2013 andDon’t Breatheboth had midget casts and this made each death increasingly more intense , and the two movies even hinted at some major deaths in the trailer .
One reason to consider thatAlien : Romuluswill add a handful of lower-ranking supporting characters into its cast to fertilize the Xenomorph is 2022’sTexas Chainsaw Massacrereboot . Alvarez is credit with the report for that reboot which dumped a literal busload of nameless duplicate into its small - townsfolk setting to grouse up Leatherface ’s body count . This would also followanAlienfranchise patternas Ridley Scott’sAlienprequels feature far more last than the original movie . That said , Alvarez ’s own directorial efforts seem to misrepresent the theory since they are typically very subdued when it comes to cast size of it .

Navarro And Bjorn’s Trailer Deaths Shouldn’t Be Fake-Outs
IfAlien : Romulusrevealed that Navarro or Bjorn “ pall ” while in a virtual world simulator , this would imply that the scavenger were warned about the Xenomorphs in onward motion , knew about face huggers , and were prepared for their ordeal .
Theone thing thatAlien : Romulusdefinitely should not do is reveal that the trailer ’s deaths were somehow fakeas part of an alternate reality simulator . Revealing that they only died in a pretence , a laStar Trek ’s holodeck orJason X ’s holographical game sequence , would be a corny twist that harden sci - fi viewers could spot from a mile away . Not only is this to a fault familiar reveal tired , but it also would mean that the characters knew about face hugger and Xenomorphs before entering the Romulus station . Crucially , this would sap the movie ’s monster reveal of its impact .
IfAlien : Romulusrevealed that Navarro or Bjorn “ pass ” while in a practical reality simulator , this would incriminate that the scavenger were warned about the Xenomorphs in advance , knew about face hugger , and were get up for their trial by ordeal . This would sap more of all its tension since the entire point of the reboot ’s young cast is that they are inexperienced and inept . noncitizen : Romulusrisks renovate aPrometheuscriticismwith characters who are too clueless , but this would be better than ones who are too prepared . That revealing would rightfully robAlien : Romulusof its much - need narration tension .
