Space and Horror all praise Lovecraft!

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2017)

To honor the father of horror I thought to review some film which has taken some inspiration from his work. Although a direct good adaptation of his work, apart from Re-animated, many directors over the years have used his elements to create some of the best horror film in history. My personal favorite is Alien from 1979.
But some back-story for its creation is necessary:
In 1978 in Ridley Scott had a food poisoning he was send to a hospital to take out that infection and he has said many times how terrified he was having such a alien thing in his body and the damage it made to him and so using that experience and adding some elements from H.P. Lovecraft one of the most historic horror-science fiction was made: Alien! The title itself is fascinating for alien means both an exeterrestrial as we usually use it and the original meaning is foreign, something we are unfamiliar with.
This unfamiliarity has its roots of the elements of Lovecraft, which the crew of Alien used,with the most important been the fear of insignificance, the terror that we now face something that we can't say for sure what it is, what it can do and if we can beat. In short cosmic horror, the best kind of horror and even 80 years after the dead of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. And this flick did more that enough to made the audience fear desperate ,trapped and out of breath from fear.
A note for new horror director (Who do a really good job with flick like Oculus, Don't Breath, The Witch and my man Del Toro with Crimsob Peak). If you want to create an excellent film take notes from Alien and you will be in a good way. As far as I know horror movies are beginning to come back and I am glad that we passed the era of torture porn. As for the jump-scares the eleventh hour is close!
And now for the film itself ,this one Shining, Aliens ,Jaws and Oculus are the only movies that have made my crawl out of horror. The atmosphere is perfect the environment in the space-craft is eerie and all the actors do a fantastic job. As for the creature itself ,go watch man ,just that.
All in all this movie is among the many films that you have to watch before you die and worth every minute. Also the extended edition is also perfect unlike with other cases George Lucas!
