The best Alien

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2003)

Much more atmospheric than the sequel Alien keeps the nerves jangling all the way through. The first time	you see an alien born must be one of the scarier moments in cinematic history. Sigourney Weaver became a star out of this	film, but it's really Ian Holm as Ash that takes the acting honours. This film must also take the prize for having the best	special effects per dollar. Check out the special features to see how the special effects were created on such a low budget.
