Tremble is a horror podcast that cuts through hype to figure out what actually works, whether a movie is trying to scare you, make you laugh, or do both at once.
On this episode, the Tremble crew ventures back into deep space with Alien: Romulus, Fede Álvarez’s return to the stripped down horror roots of the long running sci fi franchise. Set between the events of Alien and Aliens, the film follows a group of young colonists who scavenge a derelict space station, only to come face to face with one of cinema’s most terrifying lifeforms. Kurt, Taylor, and Steve break down the movie’s emphasis on tension, practical effects, and claustrophobic set pieces, along with how it balances legacy elements with a new cast and perspective. The discussion digs into Álvarez’s horror sensibilities, the film’s use of familiar franchise iconography, and whether Alien: Romulus succeeds in recapturing the dread and simplicity that made the original so effective. They also explore how it fits into the larger Alien timeline, and if it stands as a worthy continuation or just another nostalgic swing at a classic property.
