Review of Alien (1979) by Wes L — 16 May 2017
One of the best (if not THE best) science fiction / horror / suspense films ever made! The special effects were really something to be seen at the time, and they still rival all of the cheaper horror movies made today.
No CGI back then meant much more time, hard work and imagination went into making this film. This film was the first ever of it's kind that I can remember where an unknown species impregnated another being in that manner.
The face-hugger and chest-burster were totally new conceptions back in 1979. I was only 12 years of age when I first saw this film in a movie theater, and I was blown away by it! I didn't go in expecting anything special from viewing this film because the trailer for it revealed so little.
It was a true shocker! An absolute great film for anyone out there who loves science fiction, horror and suspense. I'll also add, the acting is top-notch.
