Alien: Containment | Written & Directed by Chris Reading | ALIEN ANTHOLOGY

[@nslater1388]

That terrified guy was the best actor in this whole anthology by far. His fear induced performance genuinely raised the quality of this short film.

[@Sonofdonald2024]

It was good. Especially as he normally plays comedy roles

[@darthvaderdylan]

the spit really sells it

[@horrorfreaklondon3037]

He was in the inbetweeners movie lol

[@rainmaker2338]

Is this a joke? Sharon Duncan Brewster (the woman from Dune) is the only one here who seems like she's a trained professional

[@DannyKnightblade45]

Yeah, his strong performance really elevates this short movie.

[@mikewish19]

The internal siren from the Nostromo was a nice touch at the end.

Someone needs to do one of these for the scene that would have occurred in Aliens after Newts family introduced the infestation. It would be a juicy one, so many colonists and no one there to help. You can tell they tried and put up a good fight too, love to see an interpretation of that!

She’s already dead and they won’t listen to her warning so they are dead as well

When it narrows down to the Weyland-Yutani Corps’ best interests, it won’t matter in the end. Also, thanks for the spoilers.

[@Geniusthecat]

And she's hot!

[@ThisDoctorKnows]

Amazing how there is always one human who, disastrously, wants to see the alien survive and then it runs amuck. Also, when the alien is at its most vulnerable, they stare in shock instead of kill it.

[@trevorfrenk4137]

well it’s implied in some media that xenos have telepathic powers, so that’s how i justify the “staring in shock” thing. could also just be frozen in fear

[@lijh]

Tho the fact that in the series & the comics people had & can kill a little Xeno just begs the question why not go after it while it feeds on the last kill.

[@toawing]

@@lijh yeah they.are all running and panicking, it's only in the chestburster stage. Acid blood means killing it is probably going to get them killed by its blood breaching the ship but it's not too dangerous. If you know what it is stab it as it comes out

[@arthurwilliams6628]

Some of these shorts could have been actual movies!! So dope

[@chrisbee1984]

Brilliant. I kinda wanted there to be no alien on board and have a study on the paranoia and after-effects of surviving a containment breach. I think that would have been something we had not seen before. Having said that, the short was still fantastic and a great ending.

[@borchers3281]

oh my god... everything I wanted. a perfect return to the design of cassette futurism on the original 1979 movie, which was also encapsulated PERFECTLY to Creative Assembly's 2014 Alien: Isolation. I hope that in the future of the ALIEN franchise we can have a return to this kind of low-fi 70's and 80's technological looking future. I LOVE IT!!!!

[@spinglasshydra]

Each Mini-Movie is crafted so well. I say "crafted" because each, ALIEN Anthology series episode is so carefully worked out. Even the actors, seem completely invested in their parts. In 1979, I snuck into the theater, when I was 9 years old, just to watch the original and I've been addicted ever since. So far, each installment makes my hands sweat. That's saying a lot. They are like these; small, jewel encrusted, shiny platinum gilded, highly ornate jewelry or puzzle-box pieces -- Brilliant. (They tried to do the same with Hellraiser, but it flopped.)

[@heavyrain4e112]

I love how the beginning is essentially the classic end to a horror movie. The remaining crew are “safe” and the event is “over”.

[@SunlessNick]

I like the touch that Ward almosts starts to write normally before remembering to do it in mirror.

[@tunde818]

I'll never understand for the love of me why in horror movies: 1) people stand there and watch the creature develop rather than kill it then or run 2) people fall down and can't seem to get up, until the creature kills them smh
