Second Alien: Covenant trailer features terrifying Xenomorphs and creepy Milford Sound

A new trailer for Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant has been released and it features a terrifying Xenomorph attack.

The New Zealand outback is also presented as creepy in the new video, with footage partially shot at Milford Sound presented as stunningly beautiful - but then scarily quiet.

"The path to paradise begins in hell," says the new tagline, featured in the trailer.

A sequel to Prometheus (2012) and prequel to Alien (1979), the new film sees a team on a colony ship, entitled Covenant, sent on a cross-galaxy journey to a faraway planet.

But the new world they enter holds a horrible secret, and the crew soon become engulfed in a deep space nightmare.

Alien: Covenant stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Danny McBride and Noomi Rapace, and will be released in May.
