In this episode, we descend into the nightmare of Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant (2017) — a brutal, unsettling sequel that bridges Prometheus and the original Alien, while pushing the franchise into darker philosophical territory.

We break down the film’s savage return to horror, the evolution of David as one of the most disturbing androids in sci-fi history, and how Covenant doubles down on themes of creation, control, and extinction. Is this the missing link the Alien saga needed, or a step too far away from what made the franchise iconic?

From the terrifying Neomorphs to the controversial lore decisions, we unpack what Alien: Covenant gets right, what divided fans, and how it reframes the entire Alien timeline.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (2012) — the bold, divisive prequel to the Alien franchise that asks some massive questions about creation, humanity, and our place in the universe.

We break down the film’s themes, the mysterious Engineers, Michael Fassbender’s unforgettable performance as David, and why Prometheus continues to spark heated debates among sci-fi and horror fans years later. Is it an underrated sci-fi masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire that asks better questions than it answers?

From jaw-dropping visuals to baffling character decisions, we explore what Prometheus gets right, where it stumbles, and how it reshaped the future of the Alien universe.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Alien Resurrection — the fourth film in the legendary Alien franchise, and easily the weirdest, wildest, and most divisive entry of them all.

Whether you love this movie, hate it, or just enjoy watching the franchise get progressively weirder, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes details, story analysis, and all the chaotic sci-fi energy Alien Resurrection is known for.

In this episode of R Rating, we’re descending into the dark, grim world of Alien³ (1992), the most divisive and misunderstood entry in the Alien franchise. Directed by a young David Fincher in his feature debut, Alien 3 took bold risks that split fans and critics alike — and we’re here to unpack every one of them.

We’ll explore how Alien³ followed up the action-packed Aliens with a return to bleak horror and isolation, what went wrong behind the scenes, and how Fincher’s vision was reshaped by studio interference. From Sigourney Weaver’s raw performance as Ripley to the haunting prison planet setting and nihilistic tone, we dig deep into why this film deserves a second look.

Is Alien³ an underrated masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire? Let’s find out.

Join R Rating for a deep dive into one of the most fascinatingly flawed films in sci-fi horror history — and why it’s more important to the franchise than most fans realize.

In this episode of R Rating, we dive into the blood-soaked madness of Evil Dead Rise (2023) — the latest entry in Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise. Directed by Lee Cronin, this brutal, claustrophobic take on the Evil Dead mythos trades the cabin for a Los Angeles high-rise but keeps all the gore, chaos, and demonic terror fans expect.

We talk about Alyssa Sutherland’s terrifying performance as a possessed mother, the film’s shocking practical effects, and how it stacks up against the classics — Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, and the 2013 remake. Expect plenty of laughs, deep horror analysis, and unfiltered opinions as we discuss one of the most talked-about horror films of the year.

Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan or just love a good scare, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

The book of the dead is open once again. In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into the blood-soaked nightmare that is Evil Dead (2013) — Fede Álvarez’s brutal reimagining of Sam Raimi’s horror classic.

This isn’t your average remake. With gallons of practical gore, intense performances, and a relentless tone, Evil Dead (2013) pushes the limits of modern horror while paying tribute to Raimi’s twisted legacy. We break down how this remake honors the original Evil Dead spirit, what makes Jane Levy’s performance as Mia unforgettable, and why this film set a new bar for horror reboots.

If you’re a fan of the Evil Dead franchise, practical effects, or just love horror that goes all-in, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.

New episodes of R Rating drop every week — covering horror classics, cult favorites, and modern reimaginings that redefine the genre.
