My Favorite Monster Movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2010)

This movie is my favorite monster movie. I have the 1979 cut on DVD and saw the 2003 cut in theaters.The premise of the movie should now be well known. This movie is very effectively directed by Ridley Scott. Sigourney Weaver gives a breakout performance in the now iconic role of Ripley. The effective supporting cast includes John Hurt as Kane who meets a nasty end in one the most iconic scenes in horror cinema. Also in the supporting cast is Ian Holm as Ash who is not what he seems as is revealed in a shocking twist.If you are an animal lover you will be glad to know that Jonesey the cat survives along with Ripley.If you're in the mood for a well made monster movie rent this movie then pop up some popcorn,sit back and enjoy Alien.
