As Prometheus is coming out soon, this week I am going to review the first two alien films starting with the classic Alien...The classic horror in space has not lost any of it's touch over the past three decades and will still make you gasp and jump. Alien takes place in space where a mining ship pick up a distress signal on an unexplored planet. The ships crew go in search for the lifeforms in need of help and accidentally let an Alien into their ship. The crew start to be picked off one by one as they try to kill it.
Alien is a masterpiece of horror and Science Fiction. The xenomorph (the Alien) is now one of the most iconic creatures of film industry, the actors are brilliant as the range of characters and the effects are gruesomely awesome (The chestburster is still one of my favourite scenes in a film). The fact that we wait such a long time for something to happen only increases the terror. You feel like one of the characters; waiting for the alien to strike at his next victim. This is a must see film for absolutely anyone who knows what a good film is.
*****Brilliant
