In space, no one can hear you scream.

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2011)

There are unsolved mysteries in our space. There are surprises sometime around the corner. And even if it should be left alone, you should know that by now. Alien, which is directed by Ridely Scott delivers a heart-pounding suspenseful movie. The movie is taking place in the deep outer space where the cargo ship, the Nostromo is on its way home. There are seven people in the Nostromo. They soon pick up a signal from distant planet.Rather than make their way back to Earth, the Nostromo crew, which is played by a well known cast including Sigourney Weaver as the control officer on the ship. After leaving the planet, one of the member is attacked by a mutant that basically latches onto your face and stay there. But, what they don't know is that the movie's villain is on the ship. Alien has a great deal in special effects and its set direction is the one I like the most. There are also great shots of scenes involving claustrophobia. But, one of the most famous scenes in the movie is when the member who recovers from being attack by the facehugger and then, he finds out that a chestburster or a parasite is inside of him. This scene is very gory and is not for the faint-hearted. Alien is a great movie because it is like Jaws, or in other words, have a great deal in suspense. The background score is really frightening for those scenes where the Alien pops out. An terrific science fiction thriller. ★★★★ 4 stars.
