Alien

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2007)

One of the best films ever made in any category. This movie set the template for the others to follow. A lot of people like II because it had more action. That's why the first wast the best it wasn't interested in creating horror but terror. Huge difference, horror is the gory stuff you see as an end result. Terror is inflicted in the mind. The film wasn't so much about horror as it was about the terror that comes with a creature that can't be reasoned with yet, it is as intelligent as humans. I'm amazed at intelligent movie goers claim not to like this film over the others. Yet, the others would not have a leg to stand on without this film. It made me want to make film and watch film of equal depth. The idea of the creature is flawless on par with the terror experienced in watching 'Silence Of The Lamb'
