13 Kick-Ass Horror Movies Coming In 2019

13. Alien: Awakening

Yet another Alien prequel relegated to the realms of uncertainty, and rightly so after Covenant - Ridley Scott’s latest addition to the world of xenomorph mythos was originally set for release in early 2019.

Supposedly functioning as a direct sequel to Covenent, Awakening will show us what happens when the engineers return to find their planet decimated, and the fallout from that. Scott has also hinted ‘Where we go next is obvious. We're gonna actually go to the planet.’ Whichever that one is is a mystery, but we can certainly hope that it is finally the engineer homeworld.

However, with Disney and Fox merging companies, and the Alien franchise quickly flushing itself down the toilet, this date is likely to be pushed back later in the year. It should be remembered that most Alien films have had a wobble at some point - but they’ve always made it to the big screen, for better or for worse, so it’s not off the table just yet. Not if the ridiculously persistent Scott has anything at all to do with it.
