The Scariest Movie ever Made ..Bar None

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2005)

Being 54 I've seen thousands of movies & appreciate most for what they are ...the time period they were made etc. Every so often a groundbreaking film takes a genre into the next decade (or more)...as the Gothic horror of universals original Frankenstein..Dracula...RKOs King Kong..&.the Uninvited did in the 30s & 40s...these movies for their time scared the pants off movie goers as it was the first time anybody had ever seen monsters ...or ghosts treated seriously & were genuinely scary for their day .... such is the case with the first ALIEN movie .. I saw this in the theater on wide screen as it should be seen for the first time in 1979 & from the first opening credits i knew i was about to witness an event...not much really scares me in movies any more but this film did the trick...it was the first for many unforgettable scenes that once seen are permanently etched in your consciousness forever ..thats what makes a classic.....the old alien ship on the planet...the face hugger ..the birth scene ..& the last 17 minutes of sheer edge of seat terror & excitement with Ripley & the alien..the movie scared the living s..t out of me...a total movie experience to be savored
