The 40th anniversary celebration continues this week with the third of six official Alien short films, the latest one titled Alien: Night Shift. Thanks to IGN, it’s now live.
In Alien: Night Shift, written and directed by Aidan Brezonick…
“When a missing space trucker is discovered hungover and disoriented, his co-worker suggests a nightcap as a remedy. Near closing time, they are reluctantly allowed inside the colony supply depot where the trucker’s condition worsens, leaving a young supply worker alone to take matters into her own hands.”
You can watch the chest-bursting new short below.
