We are at the home stretch, and you can’t get much
better than Alien for a horror movie.
Now there are a lot of movies out there, I’ve seen many of them, but
this movie has been a huge source of inspiration for geeks around the world for
years. Being a movie in the 80s, this
still looks amazing! I’m sure most if
not all of you have seen this, but it’s been a while, I say, go re-watch
it. It has some of the best atmosphere
and camera work in any horror, sci fi film.
I don’t know who did the production design, but everything from the ship
to the flamethrower was awesome. Of course
the creature work, by HR Giger has completely become iconic, I wonder how many
dollars he’s made off this one project.
Let’s get to the acting.
One word: Sigourney. I don’t know
if this was the birth of the female but-kicking hero, (Aliens 2, anyone?) but
it sure is a big element to the film.
Ian Holms is great too. The
chest-busting scene at the dinner table is still one of the best scenes ever. I’m telling you, this is a good movie!
I saw this years ago, another one of those, my mom is a
horror fan so she took her son to the theater to see it. It scared the carp out of me, and it still
packs a punch.
Only 2 more days in October.
I’m still looking for a job. I’ve
saved the best for last. Stay tuned.
