Alien (9/10)

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 2016)

It's hard to even imagine how a film like Alien is even conceived conceptually. Yes, it's obvious that Alien is inspired by works such as Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey but it takes the visuals and that lonely concentrated feeling of outer space to another level. Ridley Scott did a tremendous job in directing only his second feature film about a group of ordinary people being terrorized by a hideous breed of monster. The creativity of on how the monsters evolve throughout its life stages is just as intriguing as how they look aesthetically. The movie develops itself quite nicely, a slow start with great details pertaining to the character but it's not long after the gory mayhem ensues. Also, it's safe to say one of the most memorable scenes in horror cinema occurs in this classic, Gothic alien horror movie that is a must see.
