MY REVIEW: The Horror Started Here!!

Rating: 8/10 (14 October 2013)

Alien. The first alien horror from able hands of Ridley Scott back in 1979. Long duration scenes, chilling silence, neat characterization, haunting back ground score, few surprising twists and state of the art special effects. All these convert a conventional looking survival story into a magnetic thriller. It is termed as sci-fi but I would say there is less science and more fiction here. Sigourney Weaver who have acted in all alien movies is the leading lady here and does the fantastic job in making the character worth rooting for. But all credit goes to Ridley Scott for clean and sure footed direction and the special effects team for the work that does not seem dated even after 30 years. Must watch for sci-fi or horror cum thriller lovers.
