Alien will always remain one of my favorite horror movies. Everything in here is very original. The music score is something to treasure. The Alien's design is so original. It is something more exotic than those green buggy eyed aliens you see in movies like 'Independence Day.' (It can't be buggy-eyed because it has no eyes.) It is the perfect predatory design.
Alien takes place in a commercial space ship named 'The Nostromo.' The Nostromo receives a signal, or a warning as they soon found out, about a strange planet. The crew decides to investigate this planet. On this planet, a giant skeleton of an Alien is found... with a hole in it's side. It soon becomes clear that something out of the ordinary happened to it. Near the skeleton, they find a huge cluster of eggs. One of the men approaches, and a hand-like creature pops out of the egg and latches on to the man's face. Later on, we find out that the hand-like creature had melted through the guy's space helmet. But then abruptly, the creature disappears.
Seated at the table, the crew eats dinner when something happens. The guy that explored the planet starts coughing. This coughing turns to wheezing. After wheezing, the rest of the crew sets him on a table. A spatter of blood appears on his shirt. Soon enough, a worm-like creature with teeth explodes out of his chest. The creature escapes, and the battle for survival is on...
The acting was very nice. Especially Sigourney Weaver, who really played her part as Ripley well.
