Romulus directed by Fete Alvarez starring Cali Spani.

0:17.0

This is set somewhere between alien and aliens in chronology and it's kind of it's

0:26.8

kind of orbiting the aliens position in my heart. I was really really enjoying I enjoyed this movie a hell of a lot for something that's so creepy and scary.

0:45.6

But I also could see where some maybe cranky pants people who really really really put alien up on a pedestal could find things in this movie

0:58.0

not the like and there's other this is it's not a flawless movie if you want that see the film right before this
