Shape-shifting

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 1999)

The first time I saw Alien (and I keep watching it again and again) it was the only movie that really scared me. I found the suspense almost unbearable. I attribute this to the fact that not only you don't know WHEN the alien will turn up, you also don't know WHICH FORM it will have then. You are left wondering (and fearing).
