This is a true science-fiction classic. Something that will stay with me until I die.

Awesome Sci Fi / Horror movie...great suspense and Ridley Scott just did a fantastic job directing. The sets are fantastic and the movie is edge of your seat. This flick scared me as a child and made me turn on the lights.

Ridley Scott = Sheer Genius

Not only is Alien a great film, it is was a huge influence to future Si-Fi television and cinema. Before Alien came out the idea of a "spaceship" was a very clean and shiny, luxurious hotel in space. However that was all to change, because Ridley Scott's vision of a "haunted house in space" changed the way we see spaceships forever. It also gives a great atmosphere and look to the film; which is very important when making a horror movie. It is truly spine tingling, and a great artistic achievement on every level. The design for the creature itself is genius. And the way it is always hidden in the shadows, so don't see it, makes your imagination fill in the gaps. And that is something that is scarier than any horror film you'll see in your life time. The whole look and feel to the film is ...

Sir Ridley Scott- bitches!

Dig deeper is a command and plea to any self respecting watcher that desires brain stimulation! Do you know what you are seeing here?!? This is the holy perfection of crime, horror, and science fiction rolled into one perfect burrito of god-like direction, although there is no real god, through the crafty hands of Sir Ridley Scott- bitches!

THE REAL ILLEGAL ALIENS

I'm absolutely stunned by this movie. Let me check the box-office records...OMG..from an $11 million budget cost, the movie grossed close to $105 million! SciFi movies like this capitalize on outer space explorations and upon their return to earth...guess what...illegal aliens! Makes me detest the fact that once they refer to me as a Permanent Alien Resident. Thank God, they've changed it now to PERMANENT GREEN CARD HOLDER. Anyway, going back to the movie...go watch it!
