Definitely my favorite sci-fi movie, hands down. Ridley Scott, of Blade Runner and Gladiator fame, combines every major aspect of a good horror film into one swirling mass of tension and sheer terror that seems to last with you weeks after seeing it. He uses isolation, conflict within the crew, claustrophobia, fire, monsters, shadows, sets, and of course you can't forget Giger's masterworks of bizzare alien flesh structures.
Creeeepy.
It's actually, by today's standards, not very "gory", though is far more frightening than anything that's come out in the last few years.
A better pick over Aliens for those of us who can appreciate a work of art. |
