<img src="https://https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Life-is-a-Venom-Prequel-Theory.jpg" /><p><strong><a href="https://screenrant.com/tag/life/"><em>Life</em></a></strong> writers Rhett Reese &amp; Paul Wernick joke about their film being a secret prequel to <a href="https://screenrant.com/tag/venom/"><strong><em>Venom</em></strong></a>. <em>Life</em> was a throwback to big budget sci-fi horror movies like <a href="https://screenrant.com/tag/alien-covenant/"><em>Alien</em></a> and <em>Event Horizon</em> and involved a team of astronauts encountering an alien life form - which quickly escapes and starts eating them one by one.
