A masterpiece of suspense

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2002)

"Alien" is the movie which started me down the path of sci-fi/horror fandom. This movie features a superb cast, excellent cinematography, a tight script, and all the little extras which make for a truly memorable flick. Often imitated but never equaled, "Alien" is the original paranoia-in-space story. Tension builds throughout the movie until the end, and thrills are never lacking. I have nothing negative to say about "Alien" -- it is a pure thriller. If you have not seen this movie, rent it immediately. This is motion picture at its best.
