Truly a Horror Masterpiece...

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2000)

I remember seeing this film when I was very young. I was around six years old and my mean babysitter brought it over on video to watch. I had never seen anything like it before. It was my first "R"-rated movie! I was truly terrified but I kept wanting to see the Alien and what it would do. I never cried during the film...well, not until I went to bed. The graphic, gory death scenes and horriffic screams and sounds in this film make it one of the most frightening films in motion picture history. Today I absolutely love this film, simply because it still scares me! Sigourney Weaver was brilliant. This is still her best role in my book. Many believe James Cameron's sequel is the best film of the series. To me, it's the second best. Alien rules! Ridley Scott's original film is more of a "horror" film while Cameron's(though extremely brilliant) is more of a action flic. Alien will be a horror flic that will never be forgotten.
