Where have I seen this before?

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2005)

I remember sitting in the theater watching "Alien" when it first came out. It really gave me the creeps. What made it worse was I had the strangest feeling I had seen this very same movie when I was a kid. It took me almost two years for me to put my finger on it.
While at a video store, I saw the cover of an old SciFi flick that scared the bejeezus out of me when I was about 5 years old. The movie was called "It, The Terror From Beyond Space." Scott obviously saw this movie and took those aspects that scared the pants off an five year old and turned it into something that scared the pants off a twenty-five year old (at the time).
More than twenty years later, I still believe the two greatest SciFi flicks ever are "Alien" and "It, The Terror Beyond Space."
