Alien: Ore | Written & Directed by the Spear Sisters | ALIEN ANTHOLOGY

[@christophersmith3005]

I appreciate the use of 1980's style tech in the scenes rather than updating. Gives it a gritty-retro-realistic look.

[@RX552VBK]

Retro Futuristic like in the Alien Isolation game. A respectful nod to the original film's production design. Its the 22nd century but they're still using CRT screens, knobs and buttons but no touch screens.

[@coco_onigiri]

I sooooo agree. We all watch this because of the OG movies. I do like the new ones and hope w this series coming (fingers crossed) they maintain that vibe and include some of the new.

Thanks! That idea actually was inspired by our costume designer, Barbara. We were showing her location scout photos of the mine and one photo was of the wall, lit by a flashlight, and she said it looked like a planet. So we created that transition around that idea :) Image Engine made it possible with their awesome VFX!

So you take no issue with the eggs having been laid in a spot no alien queen would actually be able to get to? Or the miners seemingly digging these tunnels by hand like 18th/19th century prospectors?

[@Steelcry]

@@TheJollyKraut Honestly no I don't. Reason being eggs can be moved. Perhaps they were placed there by a Xeno Drone or by WY themselves to see what happens. Though the story line doesn't seem to support the later of those two ideas but point is a number of things could have happened. As for the minors of 18th/19th century prospectors eh easily overlooked. Why? Because, the company is cheap? Because the higher tech doesn't work in that environment. High tech could be massively over priced or takes a long time to get to them, so the mine owner went old school. Again a number of things could be why. Also the film was set in the 80s with 80s tech it fits the timeline. Even though they had space tech it was 80s space tech. So yeah I have no issues with this. Even though their is better tech for mining now days doesn't mean everyone has access to it. Heck right now some people don't have cellphones still let alone landline phones. It really depends on alot of things.

@@Steelcry Just goes to show that you can sell pretty much any garbage as long as you slap a big name to it.

[@Steelcry]

@F. J. Hmmm, have you ever heard the saying, "One man's garbage is another's treasure." I think that fits this moment. You have your opinion, and I have mine. Titles and big names don't make me watch or like something. The content does. I like alien, supernatural, monster movies. When one is terrible, I will say so. This was not. it's a classic horror monster movie set up with good acting. The only downfall I have with it is that it's too short. I would love to see more of the story. For the future, some advice words hold power, power to harm, and make someone feel worthless. To destroy dreams. When giving criticism, say what you don't like but admit to decent parts as well. Simply saying something is garbage helps no one. Another way of saying nicely you don't like something is "not to my liking but to each their own" Just a suggestion, I can't change your mind, I've said my peace, and you have a good day/night.

The atmosphere of alien coupled with the tech and action of aliens, very nice hybrid of the two, excellent work good guys! Kudos!

[@Powershade117]

Definitely a well-made short film! Acing was decent, sets and costumes were great, and the lighting was genuinely creepy. And one thing that was nailed was mostly how you showed the alien itself. It was always in shadows and most of what we saw was fleeting moments, like when they were running away and one person tried to fight it with an axe. I do like how you showed the alien being hurt without having to light the thing; just a shriek, someone saying "I got it", and then the fallen axe with the melted blade. Excellent use of showing just enough. One problem I have with these modern Alien films is that it seems like the film makers just want to put the xenomorphs front and center in full lighting and no subtlety. Like "Hey guys! Look at the alien! Remember the alien! You all like the alien, right?!" Like they think they cannot be scary anymore. That is simply not true, and this film proved it. Now I admit that I wasn't really scared, but it did have me tense and worried. That's where I think an Alien horror film shines and needs to shine; tension for characters we like. Which leads me into the part where I do have some criticisms. One of them being the characters. Now the main lady? She was great and I was definitely with her for her motivation to not let this thing out! Very brave and I was rooting for her. The other characters...well they didn't get time to really develop, which is a shame considering that right at the end, I was all in for a brutal little rumble with the beast! Seriously, the moment that she was standing there facing against the alien and then the rest of her crew came with makeshift weapons of their own...standing shoulder to shoulder against the unknown...that gave me goosebumps and I was excited! But I just blame that on just how short this film is. At a total of 10 minutes including credits...that's not a lot of time for character development while still delivering a satisfying Alien movie. This definitely needed more time, more money, or more something to cook properly into something truly amazing! The other thing I was not fully sold on was the CGI...at least I think that was a CGI alien. It looked a little stiff and unnatural. Now if it wasn't CGI and was indeed a suit, then I apologize. But yeah, that was...not the best in my opinion. But for what it was, it wasn't bad and it didn't take me out of the movie. Just a little nitpick that I'm sure with more time and/or money, could have been polished and done amazing. So yeah...BIG thumbs up to this, with the only real problem I had being just how short it was.

Thanks for watching! And for this great review. 10mins is definitely too short. In our minds, there's so much more story at Bowen's Landing with all the characters. But it was super fun to play with this snippet of time anyhow!

Congrats to the filmmakers and the crew! Fantastic use of budget to make a great story. Love how in a couple of well-written scenes you made us care about the whole cast, and how you framed the creature. Great writing trumps ok budget every time. Thank you!!! p.s. the alien story has such bit pregnancy and violence on women undertones that it's a bit shocking that the moveis haven't been given to women to direct yet.

Very well done, the orignal was so good that it just can't be resisted! You did a masterpiece short here!👍👍

[@Amahl21]

Bravo! Well written & produced, with believable actors.

[@Hoyeons7]

they're fight together. nice scene!

[@Kris_Anderson]

Great production value, editing, lighting, scene, and cinematography. The behind the scenes and support staff really came through.

[@BlackSpearArtists]

We had a super awesome crew!

I've watched these amazing short films before, rewatching them, and damn! they are so good. There are some really memorable and incredible scenes in them that add to the alien universe. Great work, all involved.

4:32 What a great shoot, the way the dog look at the screen xD

[@PatrickLynn]

Been a fan of Alien since I saw it in a theater back in 1979....this was fantastic....I love seeing new scenarios and new characters take on the challenge...

[@casperghost7182]

They need to make this into a full length Movie

[@polarfroge]

Instead we get shite like Alien: Romulus. That trailer looks gawd awful. It's almost like the execs & producers watch these fan films to learn what works & what fans actually want......and then they do the exact opposite.

[@daos3300]

@@polarfroge yet you all flock to the cinema to see it. every time. almost as if execs & producers already know.. and produce exactly the right kind of garbage to make it happen.

excellant short film

[@terraingirl]

Just learned about these mini series from Watch Mojo talking about the best scariest scene in the alien franchise (dated today). OMG, 2019 was not my year. These videos would have made it 100x better. Time to watch all 6. Alien Romulus is a good addition.

[@Canis_Pugnax]

Amazing Short! Just came back from the cinema watching Alien Romulus.

[@BlackSpearArtists]

Glad you liked it!

@ALIEN ANTHOLOGY - This short film is awesome! More please and with a longer duration, that really digs into the storyline including the fear factor... I really enjoyed the characters and the overall quality of production, acting and special effects of this little gem!

Very enjoyable, well made short movie. Would love to see a full length movie or series. Mikela Jay was excellent.
