Empire's 33nd Greatest Movie:
Alien - 8.0/10
"In space no one can hear you scream." Well alone, that tagline would have me reaching for the light switch. But you guys know I'm made of much tougher stuff. Alien (1979) is a creepy and atmospheric horror movie which Ridley Scott has directed well. After tracing an unknown signal, and the famous 'chestburster' scene, the Alien escapes leading to a Jaws-like cat and mouse situation which does not bode well for the crew of the Nostromo. In the time before Avatar-like CGI, Alien still proves more scary than most horror films and Sigourney Weaver is completely in her own as Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley. This sci-fi classic totally deserves 8.0/10.
