Alien review

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2013)

The most classic suspense-horror of all was one of the most intense movies I could've seen at a young age. A crew on the ship Nostromo get a distress call from a lone planet and respond by investigating. While searching the ship, one of the crew members is attacked by a parasite life-form that attach's to the hosts face. He is later brought back by his shipmates and recovers, successfully removing the parasite from his body.... or so they thought. The movie has great suspense and with none of the cheesyhorror music to ruin the best parts. It shows no mercy and puts some ofthe most ordinary characters in the most difficult situation against the worst foe. Ridley Scott's first masterpiece, and one of my favorites, this movie is the birth of true space horror. 4*/4
