10 Most WTF Moments From 2024 Horror Movies

10. The Offspring - Alien: Romulus

Who among us expected Alien: Romulus to revisit a plot point from Alien: Resurrection of all movies?

In the third act, the pregnant and badly injured Kay (Isabela Merced) injects herself with a mutagenic compound, Z-01, in a desperate bid to save her life. Though Z-01 heals Kay, it also causes her to violently give birth to a mutated "offspring" - a grotesque human-Xenomorph hybrid that quickly grows into a gigantic, gangly creature that looks like a cross between an Engineer and a Xenomorph.

It's certainly one of the most revolving and viscerally offputting creatures we've ever seen in the Alien franchise, all the more so given that it's implied to have used its protruding tongue to breastfeed from Kay, who now lactates a black goo-like substance, before killing her.

Romulus may be far from a perfect movie, but it certainly struck a fittingly queasy chord just when it mattered most.
