The tale unfolds as they further look into the S.O.S. distress call from that battered commercial space vessel--only to discover that it's a warning call, rather than a call for help.

    Alien is my favourite sci-fi/horror movie. Like the Terminator, I enjoyed this better than the sequel mainly because it was less than a huge blockbuster, it was a quiet intense horror with disgusting special effects and caustrophobic surroundings. The idea of a man being literall...( read more)y pregnant with an alien is enough to make someone vomit. I would rate this as the third greatest horror movie ever made (behind Psycho & The Exorcist) Its none short of a classic film and a must for all horror fans
