A masterpiece that non have matched

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2017)

How can Alien not get 10 stars? I expect that it's a little too serious for some. Too slow moving for others. Too dramatic. Too much dialog. Not enough 'monster'. But for me this is perfect. Leave the scary stuff to the imagination of the viewer. Camera-work is sublime: Claustrophobic. Dark. Intense. Shadows and light play together to make the viewer's eyes dart around the screen trying to catch a glimpse of where the wicked predator may be, like some sinister game of Where's Wally. You will jump every time you watch it. There are four horror movies that everyone must watch before they die. All have flawless acting. Flawless directing. Flawless script. Flawless effects (no CGI!). They're flawless: The Exorcist. John Carpenter's The Thing. Jaws, and Alien. THIS is how to make a movie.
