Awesome...

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2007)

Well, thought I'd try this out as well, to see how it holds up and the answer? VVERYYYY well. Have to say, it's hardly dated at all, and is still the daddy in terms of tension and considering how old it is now... really enjoyed it... and it has to be a 10/10 straight away. Acting is spot on, with some big names from the 70's... special effects are simply incredible... (especially for the day) and the haunting musci throughout keeps tension tip top and bristol fashion. The ending is great... you think it's all over, then it's not... which I love in films... and that "scene" with John Hurt it quite simply timeless without a doubt. Is it a classic? Of cause it is... it's changed the way films are made/produced etc and is still the benchmark by which all other Sci-Fi/Horror is judged. Long live Ridley... genius? 100% cert.
