LET’S BE HONEST: THE JURASSIC Park universe has never been kind to kids. From Tim and Lex in the very first film to Maisie Lockwood in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, not one of them has had an easy time with the cloned and genetically modified dinosaurs.
If you know that, then you can anticipate exactly the kind of wild ride coming in DreamWorks’ new computer-animated series for Netflix, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. It’s the first television series set inside the canon of the film world. And while it’s geared towards kids and tweens, they better be the kind who can handle their scares. Why? Because Steven Spielberg says so.
“When I came aboard, I was told that when DreamWorks pitched the idea to Steven, his only comment was basically, ‘Don’t do the kiddie version of it. It has to feel like Jurassic,’ showrunner Scott Kreamer tells Red Alert about the tone mandated for the show. “So, when [consulting producer] Zack (Stentz) and I went in with the DreamWorks people to pitch it to Netflix, we were very clear it’s for kids but the stakes have to be real. Not everybody that appears in the show is going to make it.”
MORE THAN MILD PERIL
The conceit of the series is that it takes place during the events of Jurassic World, as six teenagers from all walks of life are the inaugural visitors at a brand-new adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar. What’s supposed to be a problem-free trip goes from Slush Puppies to screams in two shakes of a T rex’s tail.

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
