Our Take On Alarum’s Rotten Tomatoes Score
Alarum 2 May Not Happen
It remains to be seen if audiences have the same reaction to the movie as critics, becausethere have not yet been enough user reviews for Rotten Tomatoes to aggregate an audience score. However, as it is available both at home and in theaters, these reviews will likely start coming in soon. If the Popcornmeter score comes anywhere close to the movie’s current Tomatometer score, it may prove that the sequel tease in theAlarumendingwill never come to fruition.
