These Horror Fans Remade the Key Moments from ‘Alien’ With No Budget During the Quarantine [Video]
We’ve been loving how much creativity has come out of the quarantine these last several months, with many artists and filmmakers using the downtime to create art that probably never would’ve existed under regular conditions. On that note, a group of creative horror fans just put together a 5-minute, zero-budget remake of Ridley Scott’s Alien while stuck at home!
Described as a “low-budget, high-cardboard remake of Alien,” the video comes courtesy of YouTube channel Cardboard Movie Co, which specializes in this sort of thing. The channel, which had been inactive since its no-budget remakes of The Shining and Jurassic Park several years ago, uploaded Alien: Low-Budget Remake just last week, and it’s a total delight.
The team remade all the key moments from the 1979 classic, bringing to life everything from the bloody Chestburster scene to the final battle between Ellen Ripley and the Xenomorph, all of it brought to the screen using ordinary household objects and clever DIY techniques. Black balloons stand in for Alien eggs, for example, while the sets are largely made of cardboard.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
