Alien: Covenant
The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise but is actually a dark, dangerous world.
Alien: Covenant is clearly built around fear and monstrous threat (xenomorphs, body horror, claustrophobic suspense), but it also leans heavily into sci-fi elements about exploration and creation. Horror is a major component that defines the viewing experience, though not the sole identity.
Best for viewers looking for a scary and atmosphere-heavy horror movie.
