A epic materpiece of horror scifi

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2000)

I rented this film last week.I hadn't seen it in about ten years.The effects and suspence are great.The charcters are real people not cutouts like in its inferior sequels.The film is more horror than anything else.I was surprised at how good the effects were for 1979.Ripley is the first female action hero. The director does a good job with his angles.There are some strange shots though. 11 out of 10.A rating for all the film.
