DUBAI: Fede Alvarez is no stranger to horror flicks. The Uruguayan filmmaker first made his mark on Hollywood in 2013 with his take on the 1981 horror classic “Evil Dead.” In 2016, he stepped out of his comfort zone of working with a familiar IP to write and direct “Don’t Breathe,” universally acclaimed by fans of the horror genre, as well as critics. Fast forward to today, and with “Alien: Romulus” he’s paying homage to one of the greatest sci-fi horror franchises of our time.
