Watched Alien (1979), a sci fi horror film directed by Ridley Scott. Nostromo, a commercial spaceship is rerouted to investigate a mysterious signal. They unknowingly bring on board a deadly organism. This slowly becomes a terrifying fight for survival in a confined space. This film has it all: Sigourney Weaver as the legendary Ellen Ripley, the atmospheric tension, and H.R. ‘s terrifying creation: the Xenomorph. (H.R. Giger had previously worked with Alejandro Jodorowsky for his Dune project in the mid 1970s). The special effects are incredible. No CGI. All the monsters are terrifying. The Android with the white blood and the twitching movements as he goes offline really add to the tension. We don’t see the monsters that much in the movie: this adds to the thrill. Alien is a masterpiece: it redefined the sci fi horror genre. One of my favourites. Impressive for Ridley Scott’s second movie. 9/10 #nodereviews
