Everything good that has been written about it is absolutely true.

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 1999)

I missed the picture in 1979 and have just seen it. It is everything I had heard and read about it. A real classic of horror, more than of sci-fi. The visual style of Ridley Scott never fails. The musical background deserved an Oscar. After twenty years, nothing better has been done in the genre.
