The film about fake evil, might be not so interesting at first glance, but there is a second dimension with hint about the much more greater real evil, which in the reality own all of us. It’s a scary story with a social message.

- Alien (1979) — one of the best movies in Sci-Fi genre (Sci-Fi classic)
- Alien: Covenant (2017) — the weak and pretentious imitation

What are the characteristic features of this style? What are its peculiarities?
It has two specific features :
a) Russian revolutionary sweep and
b) American efficiency.
Ex Machina (2015)
The way the society sees its own future (typical view) says much about the society.
