5 'underrated' sci-fi masterpieces Alien: Earth fans need to stream now
5 'underrated' sci-fi masterpieces Alien: Earth fans need to stream immediately These five incredible movies are guaranteed to scratch your itch for body horror and existential dread if you're loving Alien: Earth Pondering what to view whilst awaiting the next instalment of Alien: Earth on Disney+? Search no more. We've compiled a selection of five remarkable science fiction films that are certain to satisfy your craving for body horror, cosmic thrills and existential terror. What's more, they're all accessible on streaming services. The programme from Fargo creator Noah Hawley has garnered glowing reviews thus far, with enthusiasts and critics alike praising the nostalgic nods to the original spacecraft slasher and contemplations on artificial intelligence. With an entire weekend remaining before the series resumes, here's an overview of five overlooked sci-fi gems to occupy your time, reports the Mirror. Article continues below Brad Pitt's underrated space drama deserves a much bigger audience (Image: 20th Century Fox) Ad Astra Beyond the body horror and spine-chilling sexual metaphors, the Alien franchise epitomises the terror-inducing vastness of space like no other. If you're seeking a film with comparable levels of rich atmosphere alongside a stunningly crafted vision of the cosmos, look no further than the underappreciated masterpiece Ad Astra, featuring Brad Pitt. This brooding space epic follows the F1 star as an astronaut who undertakes an interstellar voyage to uncover the truth regarding his absent father, portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones. One five-star Letterboxd review described it as "one of the most meditative and breathtakingly exquisite outer space epics ever made." Ad Astra is available to stream on Disney+. Gattaca doesn't feature a single alien - but sci-fi fans will love it (Image: Sony Pictures Releasing) Gattaca This overlooked sci-fi masterpiece from the 1990s unfolds in a near-future world where mankind has developed an unhealthy fixation with genetic flawlessness, chillingly echoing numerous themes found in Alien. Ethan Hawke takes on the role of Vincent, a young 'In-Valid' who manages to penetrate the biological aristocracy by masquerading as a paralysed swimming champion, played by Jude Law. Driven by his ambition to participate in an expedition to Saturn's moon Titan, he gradually discovers sinister secrets lurking just below the veneer of this supposedly flawless new civilisation. One five-star Google review declared: "One of the best sci-fi movies ever made. "I saw a clip in Biology class (we were studying gene editing), fell in love, and promptly watched the whole film. "Since then, I've re-watched it countless times, and countless more sci-fi films, and this one still stands out from all of them." Gattaca is available to stream on Prime Video. Trippy visuals and an unhinged Nicolas Cage performance - what more can you ask for? (Image: RLJE Films) Color Out of Space Should you be seeking more grotesque body horror and spine-tingling Lovecraftian menaces from beyond, Color Out of Space might be precisely what you're looking for. Featuring Nicolas Cage, this little-known thriller from 2019 chronicles a family who relocate to a farm seeking refuge from the cacophony of contemporary existence. Grave mistake. Following a meteor's crash landing in their garden, they slowly develop an obsession with an extraterrestrial hue that starts to contaminate and transform everything within its reach, themselves included. "This thing is going to be a cult classic," one Letterboxd user promised. "It's got the blueprints of a wild premise and a truly off the rails Nic Cage performance. "It's a horror that doesn't rely on anything really that scary but knows when to leave it to your imagination. With some great visuals and Cronenberg-y body horror, Color Out of Space absolutely rips." Color Out of Space is available to stream on Prime Video. Witness David Cronenberg's chilling vision of the future before it's removed from iPlayer (Image: Vertigo Films) Crimes of the Future Speaking of David Cronenberg, one of his finest and most legendary films, The Fly, can be found on Disney+. But, if you're an Alien enthusiast there's a good possibility you've already watched it, so why not sample one of his more contemporary offerings? Another unsettling sci-fi thriller, Crimes of the Future, elevates the notion of bodily terror to an entirely different dimension, building its distinctive suspense story around a performance artist specialising in surgery who uncovers a dark plot to reveal humanity's evolutionary next step. Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux and Kristen Stewart feature in this bizarre glimpse of tomorrow which "showcases [Cronenberg's] mastery over the ghastly and the gruesome", as one enthusiastic Google reviewer noted. "Perverse and provocative, it's easy to understand how it might not be most people's cup of tea, however, fans of Cronenberg and his penchant for the grisly will be delighted." Crimes of the Future is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Avoid surprise price hikes by locking in your subscription costs for a year and stream hundreds of beloved films and hit shows, such as Alien: Earth from 13th August. Prey The Predator series, launched in 1987 with the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, is one franchise that has always been closely associated with Alien, even teaming up for two delightfully cheesy crossover beat 'em ups in the 2000s. Although they've taken divergent paths since then, there's a possibility that these two series could merge once again with the reboot of the Predator franchise by director Dan Trachtenberg, who brought us the fantastic Prey in 2022. After immersing themselves in this edge-of-your-seat thriller, which follows Amber Midthunder's 18th Century Comanche warrior in a face-off with the legendary hunter, fans will soon have the chance to delve into the eagerly awaited sequel, Predator: Badlands. Article continues below This chapter will take place on a remote planet in the future and even includes Elle Fanning as a synthetic being created by Alien's Weyland-Yutani. Might a Xenomorph make an unexpected cameo? Prey is available to stream on Disney+.

Real Housewives of London's Juliet Mayhew hits out at 'ridiculous' co-star amid feud
The new reality series kicks off in with a big bust-up and promises more drama It's fights, camera, action as The Real Housewives of London gets off to an explosive start. Socialite Juliet Mayhew is at the centre of an almighty barney in the first episode and gives us all the juicy details of what went on behind the scenes – and how it's still rumbling on. Juliet is one of six glamorous and filthy rich women launching the famous franchise in the capital. Dripping in jewels and kitted out in couture, it was handbags at dawn as Juliet and rival Panthea Parker locked horns over an old gripe from before the cameras started rolling. Iran-born Panthea, who is married to a top lawyer, took aim at every rich person's Achilles heel – their diamonds. An insulted Juliet explains: 'She goes on the show and says my beautiful engagement ring is fake. At the premiere, I'm wearing an insane emerald and covered with diamonds from Boodles. They're close family friends… and she says I borrow clothes.' Juliet, who lives in a £6million Kensington townhouse and also owns a beachside property in St Mawes, Cornwall, adds: 'It was quite ridiculous. Someone who likes to take someone down to build themselves up… it's very sad. But it's drama and everyone loves that.' Lifestyles of the rich and the soon-to-be famous, eh? The knives may be out but mum-of-two Juliet has brushed off the conflict. She tells me: 'It's like water off a duck's back. If that's the best you can come up with, we're in for a ride…' And it sounds like viewers will be, too. The Real Housewives shows, in cities such as New York and Beverly Hills, have made household names of stars such as Lisa Vanderpump and Luann de Lesseps. I can see memes and viral moments aplenty coming from the London show, with straight-talking Juliet at the centre. She explains: 'I'm an Aussie. We wear our hearts on our sleeves. People are gonna love or hate me. It's like Vegemite, right?' Stylist Juliet Angus, model-turned entrepreneur Amanda Cronin, fashion designer Karen Loderick-Peace, and cake supremo Nessie Welschinger make up the rest of the ensemble. They launched the series with a glamourous premiere this week. Comedian Katherine Ryan is hosting the series and said it was a "dream opportunity". We'll see the girls totter around London from Belgravia to Chelsea, hosting lavish dinners, eating in fancy restaurants and shopping at boutique design houses. They even escape to a Scottish castle that Juliet and her husband have invested in. But it won't be all champagne and excess, says singer, actress, entrepreneur and interior designer Juliet. She is also a passionate campaigner and charity ambassador, and is keen to show that side of herself. Juliet is helping to empower women in business and recently launched an eco-friendly soap bar that is bringing work to struggling communities in the Dominican Republic. She hopes to tempt one of her celeb mates on to the show for the next series, such as Aussie actress and singer Holly Valance. She says: 'Holly is one of my closest ride-or-dies. We've been through lots of highs and lows together. 'She's probably one of the smartest women I know and she'll tell me it as it is. She'll absolutely floor everyone.'
