Ridleys scotts close attention to detail is what sets this movie apart from others like it. Alien is a visual masterpiece which it won an oscar for best special effects. This film has one of the most iconic hero's and villains. Weaver vs the alien. The alien itself is horrifying for its time and gives the movie a great sense of terror and suspense to those who watch it. A solid soundtrack from the Great Jerry Goldsmith and a very well paced and well written plot, which Scott executes greatly and gives the story justice. Alien is an influence to all films that follow it. It is a staple in scifi horror with great performances, special effects and deserves to be.
