About this movie
The terror begins when the crew of a spaceship investigates a transmission from a desolate planet, and discovers a life form that is perfectly evolved to annihilate mankind. One by one, each crew member is slain until only Ripley is left, leading to an explosive conclusion that sets the stage for its stunning sequel, "Aliens."

First saw this when I was 15 , 27 years ago. Terrifying is probably the best word I can think of. But also its a triumph of movie production for its era

This is what sci-fi movies are supposed to be. God bless Ridley Scott as he brought what is now one of the most iconic movie monsters to life and for that we all owe him a lot. The atmosphere is amazing and it definatley made me jump onece or twice. As hard as the decision was I'm going to have to say that out of Alien and Predator, Predator is the better movie...JOKES, WHO AM I KIDDING OF COURSE ALIEN IS THE BETTER MOVIE!

Well, probably not the daddy of all monsters, but it should be. One of the most unique monsters of all time, in one of the best sci-fi movies. If you haven't seen it do yourself a favour.
