Has anyone been watching these? I just fired them up in the dark in my home theater. They were frigging LEGIT. A couple made me jump so hard, I'm pretty sure I hurt something. I'm actually really impressed with the "small story, low budget" approach of these, that perfectly captures the claustrophobia and horror of the original film. I am a big fan of the franchise (even enjoying Prometheus and Covenant), but these are probably some of the more enjoyable "Alien" stories produced in many years (decades?). Here's a link to one of them, but there are several more: https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/03/29/alien-40th-anniversary-short-film-containment They're all available for free on IGN. Alien: Containment Alien: Specimen Alien: Ore Alien: Night Shift And I believe there are two more coming... Check it out if you are a fan of the franchise. Let us know what you think!
Agree...that one really fucked with your emotions in a weird and unsettling manner. I'm actually surprised more people haven't commented on this. Maybe the Alien franchise just isn't a big deal to people when you've got genre gems like Green Lantern and Ant Man out there to debate?? I thought these shorts did an amazingly good job at capturing the look/feel/tone of the original film. Very nice homages to the original. In some ways, they are superior to many of the major motion pictures that were sequels.
