Should I include the (Resurrection, Prometheus, Romulus) to make it a full franchise overview? Alien Trilogy

The first film, Alien , is a masterclass in slow-burn suspense. Set aboard the industrial tug Nostromo, the film utilizes the "haunted house in space" trope to perfection. Ridley Scott’s direction emphasizes the claustrophobia of the ship and the biomechanical nightmare of H.R. Giger’s creature design. Beyond the visceral scares, the film introduces the "Company" (Weyland-Yutani) as a secondary antagonist—a cold, bureaucratic entity that views its employees as "expendable" in the pursuit of a biological weapon. This critique of corporate capitalism provides a grounded, human layer to the extraterrestrial horror. Directed by Ridley Scott
