A terrific film which still disturbs now

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2012)

What is perhaps most incredible about this film is the fact that it is still as shocking and compelling as it ever was, albeit 33 years later. Standout scenes of course will be the epic chest-burster scene and the sight of the Space Jockey inside the derelict space-craft. No matter how many times you watch this film it makes you perceive new ideas, with the excellent soundtrack still gripping audiences of all ages. Look at what this film actually created: 3 sequels, 2 unofficial ones and a prequel that's released in 10 days here in the UK. No one can ever take away the fact that it has had an ever lasting effect on people, meaning it will never truly age, unlike it's cast and crew.
