An action-packed clip from Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant (read Jimmy’s review), in theaters next Friday, gives the fans what they’ve been asking for: the facehugger. The creature latches on to Lope’s (Demián Bichir) face, but when removed it begins to burn a hole in his flesh. The set piece is all orchestrated for what comes next, can you guess what it is? Also, I think it’s important to add that the scene has been edited down for online use as the theatrical cut is longer and even more intense.
