The official trailer for the upcoming Alien movie, Alien: Romulus, has arrived. Watch it below.

Taking the franchise back to its roots, the clip offers a gripping, tense look at the claustrophobic space station where the group of young cadets in the standalone film become the prey of a xenomorph, or a face hugger in more common parlance.

Starring an ensemble cast of Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu, Alien: Romulus was co-written and directed by Uruguayan horror filmmaker Fede Álvarez (Don’t Breathe, Evil Dead), with original Alien director Ridley Scott as a producer.

Plot-wise, the movie will take place between the events of 1979’s Alien and 1986’s Aliens. Previous entries in the franchise include 2012’s Prometheus and its sequel, 2017’s Alien: Covenant.

“While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe,” reads the official logline.

Alien: Romulus arrives in theaters on August 16th.
