Ethnicity

• • There is a lack of variation in the film when it comes to ethnicity- there's only one Black character, Parker, while the rest are white.
  • Parker is murdered by the Alien, in the style of slasher films in the 70s and 80s.
  • This type of murder was common in the horror trope in the 70s and 80s where characters of minority ethnic backgrounds were killed or annihilated with symbolic effect.
