Fantastic, claustrophobic Horror experience

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2007)

Alien is certainly a movie that keeps you satisfied till the very end. The crew of the commercial ship "Nostromo" awakes from hypersleep as they receive an SOS signal from a distant planet. They want to explore the planet so they prepare for landing. Some of the Nostromo crew-members leave their ship to do some investigations. They discover a big amount of eggs by an unknown species. One of the eggs breaks and the creature in it takes possession of one of the crew members. They take him back to the Nostromo for medical researches but it's already to late, the Alien has found it's host.......... At the beginning of the movie everything seems very calm and harmless, until the Alien appears! From this point the movie starts a claustrophobic horror trip which takes your breath away. The most horrifying thing about Alien is, that the Nostromo-crew is just a simple commercial crew, so they are not armed well enough to face such dangerous creature. The concepts for the Alien by H.R Giger fit perfectly and the acting pretty good too. What else to say? 10 of 10 stars!
