The early reviews are in for this Friday’s Alien: Romulus, and the film’s poised to make a big splash in the weekend’s box office. Space horror is a genre that blends the unknown and vastness of space, with the visceral fear of horror, resulting in some of the most terrifying cinematic experiences.
The genre plays on primal fears—claustrophobia, isolation, and the unknown—magnifying them in the boundless void of space. Tons of films grace the genre, but a few stand out above all of the rest.
