'Alien' is a must see...

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2005)

As a fan of old-school horror movies that don't use tons of computer animation this movie still scores high on my list of 'must see' after 25 years. 'Alien' has it all, a deadly monster who gestates inside a living host, a spaceship full of interesting characters that inevitably become fodder for the scary beast,an evil android who is programed to protect the monster at the expense of the crew, and a heroein who kills the monster and saves herself and her cat at the end of the movie. The concept was top-notch, the Alien was a new innovative movie monster that terrified viewers from all over the world, the script was original and innovative, and Ridley Scott was absolutely brilliant as the director (although i do have to say that this movie is one of his shining moments in his career, 1492-A Conquest in Paradise really sucked, lol). Although i was only 7 years old when this movie came out, i remember watching the trailers on television and really wanting to see it which i finally did when our household owned it's first VCR, it was great and i still get those chills up my spine whenever i throw it in the DVD player, it's truly a scary movie and dang, they made Sigourney Weaver look so flip-pin' hot!!! definitely a 10 outa 10 in my book....
