Fede Alvarez co-writes and directs this standalone sci-fi horror thriller set between the events of 'Alien' (1979) and 'Aliens' (1986). Rain Carradine (Cailee Spaeny) endures a difficult existence at the Jackson's Star mining colony. When Weyland-Yutani forcibly extend her contract, ending any hope she has of leaving, her ex-boyfriend Tyler (Archie Renaux) persuades her to join his expedition to scavenge supplies from a derelict space station orbiting the planet which they can use to escape the colony.

Tyler needs the help of Rain's adoptive brother Andy (David Jonsson), a reprogrammed synthetic human, to access the space station's systems, and Rain reluctantly agrees. However, once they enter the space station, they encounter a terrifying life form and must fight for their lives. The cast also includes Aileen Wu, Spike Fearn and Isabela Merced.

First time director Fede Alvarez helms this reworking of Sam Raimi's 1981 cult horror. In an effort to straighten out their drug-ravaged friend Mia (Jane Levy), a group of five 20-somethings decide to decamp to an isolated backwoods cabin in the mountains of Tennessee. Once there, however, the group find themselves beset by demons from the nearby woods when they begin reading from an unearthed Book of the Dead.
