-First Time Watch-
After months of deliberating if I should watch Alien, last night I finally did. I prepared myself to be scared like crazy. I wasn't. After watching the movie, I came to the conclusion that the sequel, done by James Cameron, was much more suspenseful and scary then the first. That's not the only reason why I picked the sequel over the original. The original was short and there was less then an hour of the alien being around and attacking people. The rest was the crew discussing what the face sucker was. In the sequel, the alien was in more then half the movie. Suspense in the first was there but it was even worse in the sequel. Now, would my opinion be different if I had watched the original first? I think so. The problem I had was knowing what the alien does and how it attacks it's victims. Overall, though, the film was very good and still enjoyable to watch.
8/10
