Review of Alien (1979) by Carolyn V — 31 Jul 2018
Alien is a great film though I personally feel that James Cameron's Aliens is a much better film. It starts with seven crew members aboard a towing hauler, who are suddenly awakened from their deep slumber in cryo because of a distress signal they've received.
They land on a distant planet only to find a massive derelict ship which has probably crash landed. There they find an alien organism- one which has acid for blood and grows at a menacing pace. This film reeks of atmosphere and to this day many films and video games have been directly inspired by its production design and vibe.
Alien also holds the distinction of having, what many people consider the greatest tagline and trailer. (Ridley Scott's masterpiece).
