My Review

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2008)

A crew of seven are returning to Earth after a space exploration project. Along the way they hear a distress call, but when they land on the planet, no one is there, except for some eggs. One hatches and latches onto Kane (John Hurt). Soon an alien hatches out of Kane and runs amok on the ship.
As the crew members try to find the alien, they discover that it has grown exponentially and is thirsty for blood. They also learn there's someone on the ship who knew what was going on.
"Alien" is one of the best horror/sci-fi movies ever. It gave us the heroine Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and an extremely disgusting and frightening alien (up until the time of the "Alien vs. Predator" movies, the alien was actually considered a horror icon...now, because of those films, it's more downgraded).
A pure horror classic, delivered with impeccable acting and precision, "Alien" is a movie that shouldn't be missed!
