The Alien Girl
Set in ‘90s Eastern Europe amidst a war between two gangs whose existence hinges on a woman named Angela, the sister of a gang member who is about to cut a deal with the police. In order to silence him before he testifies, his boss dispatches four of his best hit men to Prague to bring Angela back to Ukraine and hold her hostage. But what starts off as a war between rival gang members and all those standing in their way soon becomes a game of manipulation, seduction and betrayal in which Angela takes control and revenge.
The film’s title, a sly reference to Ridley Scott’s classic, describes Angela to a “t” – a creature who spits acid, proverbially speaking and whose very essence is about destruction.
“Alien Girl” is directed by Anton Bormatov (in his feature film debut), written by Vladimir Nesterenko and Sergei Sokolyuk, and stars Natalia Romanycheva, Evgeni Tkachuk, Kirill Poluhin, Anatoli Otradnov, Aleksandr Golubkov, Evgeny Mundun, Oleg Baykulov, Alexander Korchagin, Dmitry Ratomsky, and Sergey Siplivy.
