Greatest Horror Movie of the decade

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2005)

What can I say that has not already been said. We live on a violent planet in a violent universe. That said, the director extended that desperate aggression out into the universe. It is a lonely place, a violent place, where even human life is cheap and a species could be extinguished without guilt. Eventually all moral issues were put aside and the true horror of base animal survival took over. It was frail humanity versus a brutal universe in the form of an alien species that had no other urge but to feed and breed. Like in Jaws we saw so little of the creature that our imaginations took over and created a world far worse that any that could be put on screen. In a way to put in on screen is to exorcise the demon and face the tangible fear. But to keep it in the shadows was brilliant. I can think of no better horror movie of this kind.
