This month, we head back to the world of the Xenomorphs as we look forward to Ridley Scott’s ALIEN: COVENANT, with a movie preview and a look at the history of the franchise and some of the knock-off versions that followed.

We also await the eagerly anticipated return of TWIN PEAKS with a comprehensive catch-up, as well as preview Universal’s reboot of THE MUMMY, the latest instalment of THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: SALAZAR’S REVENGE and chat to author JASON ARNOPP about his THE LAST DAYS OF JACK SPARKS.

STARBURST takes a look at the not-so-farfetched dystopian futures that were depicted in cinema and are looking even more prophetic.

In our regular features, we look at a STUNG as it heads to HORROR CHANNEL and Independents Day profiles the director of ANGEL OF RECKONING.

Plus all your favourite COLUMNS, NEWS, REVIEWS and much MORE from the worlds of SCI-FI, HORROR and FANTASY!

In Space No One Can Hear You Roll

The ALIEN movie franchise has survived for so long due to the way it draws people in. The movies that everyone talks about are the ones that make you feel part of their world, and with Ridley Scott’s classic and its spin-offs, you can practically feel the monsters breathing down your neck.
