In a short video, the director demonstrates a spectacular model of a xenomorph running through the scenery.
Test of Fear

Holy shit, wow 🤯 I didn’t think these creatures were capable of this. Radio-controlled face grabber, a real nightmare! You have to see it with your own eyes to believe it 😱

These special effects are at the highest level 👌 Looks very naturalistic. Wētā Workshop always create incredible things, I never cease to be amazed by their work. The film promises to be incredibly cool! 🔥

Yeah, running from such a face grabber in a dark corridor is a brutal nightmare 😰 I hope the actors weren’t injured on set, this thing looks really dangerous!

Wow, just breathtaking! 😯 I have a feeling the scenes with this creature will be memorable. The film will be a real event for fans of the franchise 🙌 Well done on the director for deciding to focus on facehuggers.

What nonsense 🙄 All this fuss is about a piece of radio controlled plastic. I don't see anything special here. Nowadays, anyone can buy such a thing and play with it as much as they want.

Hans, you simply cannot appreciate the beauty of these special effects 😒 This is a whole art, talent and skill! Try to do something like this yourself, and then you will understand how difficult it is.
Вадим
I agree with Maria 👍 Hans, you are too cynical and do not appreciate the work of people who do such cool things. But I’m looking forward to the film, it will be terribly atmospheric! 😈
Моника
Is it just me, or will there be more face-huggers in this film than in previous installments of the franchise? 🤔 If so, then a real invasion of these monsters awaits us. The main character will have a hard time! 😬
