A claustrophobic sci-fi horror classic

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2017)

"Alien" is one of the greatest horror movies of all time, for good reasons. It was one of the first movies of its kind, and it introduced the xenomorph to audiences everywhere. It is also responsible for the iconic chestburster scene.
What's great about this movie is the atmosphere. Every second is tense, even before the alien is on the ship. Ellen Ripley is also a great protagonist. She is a strong, intelligent woman and one of the best female heroes of film history.
This is a great movie to watch, and I highly recommend it.
