+tk m But you forgot that the facehugger is supposed to have corrosive acid blood, so why is the flooring and spade not affected ?

@@88feji Good point. Though normally the aliens seem able to tell a human from an android - yet this hugger didn't know the dog was android... So does that make the dog a different type of android (so the aliens do not know they're not biological?), or is the face hugger a different type (and so may not have the ability to sense the differences?)

@@ryogahibiki2384 it may be more the dog than the hugger, it was doing it’s job being a threat to the hugger so the hugger had to avoid it, but failed to do so because the dog was good at it’s job.

@@88feji cuz the blood isnt splied when she slaps the hugger with the shovel, also its not much blood it gets, its potent acid but not so potent it turns a shovel into dust in an instant.

No you don't see alot of sensible actions in horror movies.

I took the scene to be a setup to them infecting her lol but she smacked it/killed it first.

Of course, someone had to put the egg in that barrel. So there's still some "Let's breed us some monsters" shenanigans going on somewhere. Just not from any of the characters in the film.

What a great weekend Discovery. Thanks again for all the good stuff And again 🤓👍

Good to know

Cause your in love

I can barely remember anyone who was in that movie except fassbender

And Mcbride 🤣

Except David :))

Me 2

What if netflix

Just make sure the final episode is completely dark and the ancient god alien is killed by a random transgender tourist walking by.

Feminazis spoil everything

We?

Lol this sucked

@@ilyakovalenko1988 Yes a cheap scare for 10 year olds.

@@britishpatriot7386 --- as opposed to the #NaziDeplorables we have today, which are a bunch of pussies, like 6 yo school girls 🤣

I know this is an old comment, but they do! Synthetic pets are mentioned in the Alien RPG rulebook and the book only has canon material

Oh thats why the Dog looked like it did after the attack. It was a cyborg dog. Lol. If that the case, fat dude shouldn't be asking what happened, should of already known.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ripley's cat Jones was a synthetic.

​@@NoOne-yh4cldamn. Never thought of that.

Lol thank u!! I was wondering why the dog was covered in that white liquid and twitching. I thought maybe it was the acid from the facehugger and it was causing her to die a painful death. 😳😳😳

it was wounded, though....

Exactly, I used to think, they are masters at hugging the human face.

Just gotta be fast enough to react and have something to bat it away with. Being a creepy crawly with eight legs better to have a shovel like she did for a larger bapping surface!

A Predator (or maybe a different character) sliced one in two with a sword while it jumped at him. Pretty cool. I hate those things.

@@ronjon7942 AVP with his shuriken. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pad7ZdKT1q3Tg4U.html

They must do it. It's so good film

Same here, look at my profile picture

I agree! Alien and Aliens are classics!! I have been unimpressed since. This was impressive!!

I just wish that when she dispatched the face hugger with the shovel, the shovel blade would have started smoking and melting immediately. This film goes out of its way to establish that xeno acid: bad and then she straight up bisects the dang thing and wow the shovel is fine. That's my only gripe.

​​@@NAWWMANNN Lambert, quit griping!

Ah yeah, white blood means android. That didn't sink in for me. I thought maybe that was a depiction of acid.

Poor robo pup :c

Damn spoiler alert

Anyone who downvotes Dakota Carlysle comment can deepthroat a chainsaw so they can shut the fuck up

@@chinashorts1491 Yeah they weren't clear on the android twist. I thought that was acid melting him.

omg was it? amazing android woww

It wasn't me it was the dragon

What about the poor android dog who sacrificed her life to safe her owner!

You mean a quadrapedle alien, aka runner aka dragon

Spoiler Alert! Dick move Squidward

Maggie was an android. If it was a real dog it'd be sad.

Its her job to do this

R.I.P best Doggo

I absolutely LOVE Dobies! My mom was gifted a Dobie pup (later named Samantha, "Sam") and she was THE best dog we've ever been owned by! Don't laugh, but one thing that made her so great was the fact that she was raised by our CATS! She was even seen out crouching and hunting a bird just like the cats, with the cats!! I haven't had one in YEARS, and can't wait til I have room enough to have another "Sam"!

@@polaroidsofpolarbears365 I think it is sad. Maggie is a sympathetic character on the same level as R2D2, C3PO, or K2SO from the Star Wars universe.

Well that's just the thing the xenomorph who I'll just call alien for simplicity are based of termites and the operates like em if you go watch aliens they send 1 to scout out an area to feed then the army comes and kills everyone like termites but here's the kicker when termites are alone they actually act like in alien were it's sneaky and targets people it KNOWS it can KILL and kills them

It's not better directed you jackass, it's just jumpscares all over the place...

Could you imagine eighty or ninety minutes of venting pipes (in a greenhouse? ) flickering lights and off-camera dog whimpers?

This excellent short shows that true horror is more about what you don't see than what you do. Hollywood doesn't understand that the reason the original alien is as good today as it was when it was made was because of the tension and anticipation built up during the movie rather than reliance on huge and expensive special effects. We don't need to see anything. Remember how much scarier Jaws was before you actually saw the shark ? It's is the actors who can make us feel as if we are there that make or break the realism we feel or not.

@@adambridge8920 sadly the first Alien is quite boring, the Crown jewel of the Alien franchise is the second Movie Third is decent, way better then first, the fourth however is quite shite

@@BEASTNYC is this based on your extensive experience observing different genders under alien attack?

When she smacked that hugger. Yeah, woman strike 1. Great scene! Check out the movie "Life" if you want a few good scares. Great ending too!!

I don’t understand the surprise. Both the horror and sci-fi genre have always had strong female characters. This has never been more true than in the Alien franchise.

Yeah thats the best part is the short film wasnt stereotypical like the friday the thirteenth.

It's always refreshing to see a strong female character. Even if we have not have anything but strong female characters for the last 50 years or so.

Biggest twist Maggie wanted her to die that's why she damaged the container.

Same thing I said

Except it's nothing like that. Nothing good is EVER as good when something good lasts a long time.

She was a tough than all the stupid scientist in last two movies.

@@allenamores04 Maybe they're already here... waiting...

Just don't use headphones at all PERIOD 😂

Lesson learned: install visual cues alongside your audible cues.

It’s not acid, the dog was a dogoïd (need word XD). Hints are the white liquid, the « did a good job », and the fact that she’s not emotive about the dog. (my view)

Specimen can be the prequel between Covenant and original Alien. Everything else will be a lucas film deathgrabbing a series losing money

Thanks this was great, gotta check out the rest now.

Lmao😂

Yup and pretty sure OSHA has rules regarding loud music. Loud noise can create physical and psychological stress, reduce productivity, interfere with communication and concentration, and contribute to workplace accidents and injuries by making it difficult to hear warning signals.

Oh no she can't hear us she has headphones in

lmao yes

Yesterday was alien day so people aew revisiting these short films, the collection of shorts were all posted during last year's alien day as well.

This exactly

And it was sadly also around 1 hour and 50 minutes shorter.

Yes this scene totally break the lore .

It did in the original Alien

Glass coated floor

Yes! So glad you loved this short.

Couldn't have said it better myself😤👌

Great review, David. Thanks!

@@AlienAnthology That's fine, it's more my opinion than review, but I do think it's by far the best short from this Anthology project. The editing, camera set-ups, lighting, hair + make-up and effects created a high quality feel, worthy of a theatrical screening. I really liked the work day/ music sequence, it grounded the character in reality and made her "one of us". We've all played our iPod's too loudly and missed the phone ringing or the postman knocking on the door.The director has a very good eye for pacing and aesthetics. If I were at Fox, I'd hire her in a second (for a feature project).

Is this just for a short film or a preview for a film? Id love another straight alien movie!!

Its not, check in ur home cinema or hesdphones HIFI ones. If you knows about sound and cinema ofc.

The ones I've seen on here have been great.

@@--ODiN-- Oh shut your pie hole you idiot and wise up. What a dumbass was comment. These are fan made on pretty much zero budget.

You are right

I thought ridley Scott dont pretty well tbf

He is but prometheus and covenant werent good much

Yeah but they deff better than resurrection 😂

Still a doggo but she can probably upload it somewhere else

Danny van Veldhoven I’d rather no one tamper with anything right now. Cause from what I suspect we are looking at a possible reboot copy like that they did with Terminator: Dark Fate. Just pretend 2,3 & 4 didn’t exist and make it worse

Alien - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zt2GfqaQuLnXmYk.html

Sad but true. 🤓 LMFAO 🤣😅😂

Agreed. All Alien movies after Aliens had any horror, suspense or tension to them.

@@velociraptorwolf447 so true. Alien is something nightmares are made of...Giger and his art creations, Alien is pure Horror, they need to bring it back

Mmm, agreed but also humour - Alien had the " us and them " (officers vs flunkies) different worlds of the crew joking with each other - the repairmen claiming not to be able to solve ship issues to Ripley without getting what they deserve...when she walks off, the dinner table talk, etc. With Aliens there was deadpan Bishop lines (not limited to: "I may be synthetic but i'm not stupid"), the macho bravado among the marines (" Have you ever been mistaken for a man? ", the knife fillet trick, Hudson in most scenes etc). With Covenant I only laughed at the points when the characters were behaving stupidly which I don't think was the intention, but with the humour from Alien and Aliens I think the audience was meant to appreciate the humour. The unintended covenant humour peaked at the shotgun woman blowing up their own landing ship, but there were other examples - being an exploratory group, yet having no environmental protection or prior assessments (that obviously led to the infections in Covenant), the hapless "I don't trust you, but i'll follow you blindly down into the dark depths to my (facehugger unduced) death" etc.

From iRobot yea?

cornbread?

Hollywood is more focused on pushing out PC propaganda than putting out a good story. Liberals is like aids anything they touch end up suffering a slow and horrible death.

I was just going to say the same thing lol.

it not so easy ... star actors ... star director ... beat CGI effects ... movie budget in lvl of small country GDP how could Hollywood even function in such dreadful condition :)

Yeah especially that crap Ridley Scott has put out, fucking up alien

On top of the agenda-driven politics, Hollywood is also risk averse and won't go out on a limb to create something new. They depend on rehashing old material that is familiar to attract audiences but often at the expense of creativity. I think there is also something to be said about how low budget films must rely on a good story to compensate for low budget special effects where as the default Hollywood big-budget film relies on good special effects in lieu of good story/characters because it is easier to throw money at the digital effects department than it is to write a competent script.

it was quite unrealistic though , no person would call their dog just twice and then stay silent for the sake of the movie ... and no robot dog would disobey and behave like a real animal
