Cailee Spaeny in Alien Romulus

Summary Alien: Romulus director Fede Álvarez explains during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con why he made the new franchise movie a practical, suspense-based horror outing.

Speaking exclusively to Screen Rant at SDCC, Álvarez offered fascinating insights about his approach to the latest Alien franchise movie, explaining how his experience on prior films informed his way of attacking the material, and outlining why he thinks suspense is key to making a good horror movie. Check out his remarks below:

Well every movie is a film school in some way, you learn so much. I'm sure these guys learn too. Every experience and every movie you make you come out the other end learning a lot of things. Sometimes good lessons, and sometimes bad lessons, I think. I think with Evil Dead, it was the whole idea that the practical was scarier. That's for sure it was a time when a lot of people were doing CG blood and CG gags of limb flying, it was always like that.
