edge of the seat stuff!

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2003)

I was truly horrified By H R Geigers alien design. Somehow he has managed to create a believable terrifying creature where so many other horror creatures are just laughable. i cant quite put my finger on why (maybe its lack of eyes or the inner mouth) but the effect to me was staggering. Ridley scott blew the cinema apart with this dark film with VERY dark consequences. The story is slick and the feeling that humanity has gone down the tubes somewhat is ever present. This is NOT a future i would like to live in. There needs to be far more films of this kind out there but i fear this is but a pipedream as the effect must be almost impossible to re-create.
10/10
