One of the greatest horror movies of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 1999)

Alien was an absolutely brilliantly filmed movie. Ridley Scott really knew how to create an atmosphere suitable for this movie. The Nostromo was totally desolate, with long hallways and empty rooms. The music and sound is very quiet, which is perfect for creating suspense and horror. What really stands out from this movie however, is the Alien itself. The biology of the Alien is absolutely intriguing; a lifeform perfectly suited for destroying other lifeforms. A genre defining movie that is one of hollywood's best. 10/10
