Published

And the Alien Day fun just keeps on coming.

We’re now less than one month away from Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, one of the most highly anticipated horror movies to come along in recent years. Like all of the previous films, Scott’s latest prequel to the 1979 classic is set to spawn all sorts of toys and collectibles, and today provides us with our very first look at a handful of them from both Funko and NECA.

First up, Funko will be giving the POP! vinyl treatment to the various characters from Alien: Covenant, including David, Daniels, a Xenomorph, a battle-damaged Xenomorph, and Oram with a Face Hugger attached to his, well, face – the battle-damaged Xeno is a Game Stop exclusive, while Oram will be found only in Hot Topic stores. The line is headed to shelves in June.

As they recently teased, NECA will also be making a line of Alien: Covenant action figures, and they’ve shown off one of them in celebration of Alien Day. The figure is of the film’s classic Xenomorph, and from what we understand, a Neomorph figure is also coming soon. That and other figures will be shown off at a later date, so as not to spoil anything before release.

Check out all of the aforementioned toys below!

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

Published

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
