Before ‘Alien: Earth,’ Alex Lawther Was the Most Unsettling Part of This Haunting Horror Film

For more than ten years now, Alex Lawther has been carefully crafted his acting career, with poignant characters like a young Alan Turing in The Imitation Game and the rebellion-inspiring Karis Nemik in Andor among some of his highlights. By portraying Joe Hermit in Alien: Earth—a medic reunited with his deceased sister thanks to synthetic technology—his current role is aiming to go on the same career-defining path. One of the lesser-known roles in his resume is the British independent horror film Ghost Stories. It deserves more recognition, given he appears in barely one-third of the movie, but he is masterful at being the most unsettling part of it.
