«Alien Covenant» almost completely gives itself over to the scary stuff; director Ridley Scott dredges up a little of the «Prometheus» balloon juice (this film is a direct follow - up to that prequel), but he's more interested in an interstellar version of «Friday the 13th,» with a respectable ensemble of actors as the camp counselors and various
fanged slimeballs filling in for Jason Voorhees.
