The Alien films are perceived to be a fractured franchise, each one loosely related to the others by the titular monster. They are nonlinear, complicated, convoluted: a collection of genre movies ranging from horror to war to farce.
But on closer examination, the threads that bind these films together are undeniable. The series is a model of the cosmology described in Catherine Keller’s book Face of the Deep: A Theology of Becoming, which presents the universe as a cycle of chaos and relationship.
In this second edition of Becoming Alien, Sarah Welch-Larson explores the Alien series through Keller’s lens. Her exploration unifies the Alien series into seven views of evil, its origins, and its consequences. Each film expands on the concept of evil set forth by its predecessors, complicating that conception, and retroactively enriching readings of the films that came before.
