    beautiful cinematography. a single concise narrative bogged down by 40 minutes of Lily Depp Rose doing things that look like orgasms. why was this movie so long?

    ★★★

    Extremity was promised. Leone delivered- Terrifier's practical effects are amazing. Art is hilarious and nonsensical as always. This franchise is picking up steam- and the budget jump for its threequel makes it clear that Leone & Crew are well on their way to establish the Terrifier's legacy adjacent to horror staples like Friday the 13th and Halloween.

    ★★★★

    Alien Romulus shows Marvel what effective fan service looks like- where it belongs, first of all... not as a gimmick, but as a basic point of reference for audience expectation.

Fede Alvarez has expertly balanced that marriage between the foundational expectations for this and the critical need to breathe life and creativity into a new offering.
