I saw this film in the theatre without knowing what I was getting into, and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Other audience members were laughing at my extreme discomfiture during it -- I was jumping out of my seat, screaming "OH MY GOD!" among other more serious epithets. A few years later I watched it at home on my VCR, believing it would be a different experience, since I knew what to expect. Wrong. I reacted almost the same way as I did in the cinema, except now I was running wildly around my living room. It's an amazing movie, yet one I will never revisit. Suffice it to say, I never saw any of the sequels.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Hilarious! My sentiments exactly! That's what makes it so terrific. I'm hooked from the credits on. That score, wraps me up and I can't stop until I see Ripley safely in crio-sleep with the cat in the end. It's mes,erising. Thanks amillion!

One of the best sci-fi movies ever made. Brilliant score by the even greater Jerry Goldsmith. Groundbreaking film with great practical effects. Sigorney Weaver hits a grand slam in her rookie debut. Veronica Cartwright, who was in Invasion of the Body Snatchers the year before was great as the one who was always complaining.

[@bryangarrett8425]

I'll never forget seeing this film back in 1979. I was 19 and I went with a friend opening night, not knowing what we were in for. This film was so intense, it scared my like no other film had. My roommate and I wound up sleeping on the two couches in the living room, rather that separate bedrooms. What's really funny is that I called a friend the next day and took him to see it. I obviously got over the fear very quickly. The still enjoy it to this day.

[@stevenhayes4063]

I know! Still the most atmospheric and terrifying movie I ever saw. The only one that comes close to the experience I had in a theatre watching "Alien" , was the original "Halloween". Both had me screaming. I'm so glad this brought back hilarious and terrifying memories. I'm just naughty enough to be proud of that! LOL! Thanks for watching and have a wonderful summer! OXOX TOQ

One of my top 5 movies of all time. It's the one movie that really made me a honest to god cinephile. Ridley Scott is a damn genius, and I wish he did more horror movies, because he has a real eye for creating an amazing sense of dread, isolation and helplessness in the face of an deadly monster no one understands, which helps makes this movie so scary!

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

And it's the classic Hitchcock set up. Avereage people thrown into a set of circumstances beyond their comprehension or control. So scary!

[@oldmoviemusic]

My two favourite horror films have got to be The Innocents, (Deborah Kerr's favourite film of her body of work!), and Robert Wise's The Haunting. Those two movies have stayed with me like crazy. There was a movie that came out in 2016 called The Invitation (it's on Netflix) that I really loved! Simple, but effective. More atmosphere and "what is going on?" than gore (I hate unnecessary gore) - I'd highly recommend it. Love Alien - I have a friend whose favourite movie is Alien, and she's become good friends with Sigourney Weaver!

[@alidabaxter5849]

I had never seen or heard of Sigourney Weaver until I saw this film when it was first shown, and it was a truly memorable and intelligent performance. In fact all the crew were perfectly cast. I was terrified the moment I saw the vast set of the planet on which the explorers landed, silently screaming at them to get back to the ship - and that was before anything had happened! This was quite simply an absolutely terrifying film, and I agree with the view expressed that there should have been no sequels. I'm not surprised you needed to go to the toilet, but I'm just amazed it didn't happen in your seat! Obviously you were very well brought up.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

As I've said often this one ranks with "The Spiral Staircase" as one of the scariest " where is he in the house?' Movies. I agre the cast was brilliant and so natural and matter of fact, that they pull you right in and before you know it, you are wnating nothing more than to all get oit opf there. I'm very pleasantly surprised you watched and liked this one. Personally, i think it's masterpiece of the genre. Happy Weekend! Steve

It was a young African-American guy talking to his girlfriend: "Man, that alien has had nothing but white meat. He's gonna get some dark meat soon, you watch." Sure enough, Yaphet Kotto was next.We turned to each other and high-fived!

[@tarantulaguy1998]

I dunno if it was intentional, but when you said they didn't use all of the Goldsmith score, the music you had on in the background was also NOT Jerry Goldsmith. It's the great Howard Hanson's Symphony No.2 which plays over the end credits.

[@Fandango541]

No, you are incorrect in that. He was referring to the music that played when the title introduction was rolling and during moments in the film itself. Hanson was only in the end credits and you are quite correct in that.

Steve, I wish I could give you a thousand likes for this review. Alien was great cinema. Even on the small screen it's terrifying. It is my favorite scifi movie. Everything about Alien is great. And I couldn't agree with you more on Angela Cartwright. Normally whiny scaredy cats get on my last nerve, but she.pulls it off brilliantly. She is another talent that doesn't receive her due. Thanks so much for reviewing this film.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Your so right, but you have the Cartwright sister mixed up. Angela was on; "The Danny Thomas Show", "Lost In Spece" and in "The Sound Of Music". Veronica was in: "The Children's Hour", The Birds", Invasion Of The Body Snatchers"(remake), "The Witches Of Eastwick", "Alien" and she was Shawn Hayes ( Jack's) mother on "Will and Grace". Fabulous character actress. And I totally agree with you, Veronica is breathtaking in "Alien" because her character reacts the way the audience is thinking. Thanks for watching! Steve

[@BearCubster]

It would be interesting to know what your thoughts are of Alien Prometheus and Covenant.

[@dinocub1]

THANK YOU. You may fight me on this, but when someone asks me what is my favorite movie all time, this one is it! When it first hit the theatres, I was all of the age of 12. My mother had taken me to see this thinking it was an "ET" type of movie (a few years before that one came out). I was scared shitless. Watching the entire movie through my fingers, yet at the same time loving every minute of it. I've own every single re-release of this movie in every format and still always delight in finding something new and at least watch it a couple times a year and it never gets old. Ripley was a pioneer in film, one of the first women action heroes in film NOT to be portrayed as weakling female depending on a man to save her. Ground breaking. Also, like you pretty much referenced in the review...I feel Ridley was almost like Hitchcock with this movie in that it was pretty much all based on suspense. You never really get a full look at the alien until almost the end of the movie. For me, it was a hellva lot scarier than if we saw it full on. The "monster under the bed" so to speak, that we're too frightened to look under for. Where would it pop out from, from what corner? Loved the sequel Aliens, but that was much more action than actual horror/thriller/suspense and therefore the first one will always be my favorite. Thanks again for another awesome review ❤❤.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Fight you? On the contrary, I don't lame you a bit. I agree with absolutely everything you said. It is the one of the GREATEST Monster/ suspense movies ever and all because of the suspense. Also, the fact that not everyone were familiar with the actors, so it made it twice as real and it broke all the rules up until then, as you pinted out so astutely, musch Hitchcock , especially in 'Psycho", where he killed Janet leigh after you've been following her story in the first half hour. Ridley kills off The Cpatain, who would be the traditional hero, so you donn't really know who's story to follow. Because Ripley's character, is initially annoying and goes by the book, you are reluctant to follow her, because in the old sci-fi, that type of character get's killed relatively early, but here you have no choice, because she's the only one who seems to have a clear head and of course by the end you ,love her.I love this move and HAVE to watch it. I even like the third one, which is available with Fincher's original before they made him reshoot it. With any sequel it's all about re- invention and I thought with the first three, they did a great job,because they didn't take awys anything from the others. The first one is the best "where is he in the house?" movie, The second one may be my favortye actio adventure film ever and the third one is a allegorical, shot during the height of the AIDS crisis and has a spiritual context that I like. Hooray for "ALIEN"! Steve

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Got your latest comment on Alien 3 this morning. So interesting. Couldn't figure out where to answer you, so doing it here. I think the "Alien" films are her best work along with "Gorillas In The Mist". I had an unfortunate experience with her years ago which has somewhat tarnished my opinion of her, but I think her performance as Ripley was revolutionary and iconic , as it should be. Best; Steve

I know! That cat just sits there like 'Well, there goes that sucker' :P. Typical cat.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

I was waiting for it to come out of the cat. Then in "Alien 3", it came out of a dog.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

@@MsDonttrythisathome Yup. "Well, he's fed, when do I eat?"

[@mikegehre570]

An often overlooked scary as all get out 1961 b/w classic is "Wait Until Dark." Audrey Hepburn. The scary part about this one is that it could actually happen. You should review that scary gem. Had nightmares for a long time after seeing this one.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

It's on my list!

[@jzinsme101]

As usual you NAILED it. Scariest movie EVER.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Thanks! So glad you watched and liked it!

[@gilbertmartinez1504]

I've never seen this movie. I don't like scary movies and this one would have me having nightmares for the rest of my life.

[@SC-uq2jf]

WAS THE PERSON IN THE URINAL PEE WEE HERMAN? [ JUST KIDDING, 😂 ] .

[@Fandango541]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@emmaduncan2991]

great movie, still hate Ripley's cat!

[@cindywomack1113]

Ohh name the theater, name the actor!

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

I have Carly Simon syndrome where this is concerned. However, I will say it's not warren Beatty and it's not Mick Jagger! LOL!

[@aagold76]

like Jaws- don't show the monster.

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Better not to. Thanks!

[@violetbrown2372]

And also as a young gay woman, Sigourney Weaver running aroynd in her underpants, was memorable!

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

YUP! She looked terrific! It also made her seem so much more vulnerable, because you didn't know what that Alien would do to her. If you remember, it killed Veronica Cartwright who was fully clothed and when Sigourney finds her, all you see are her bloody bare legs dangling. That made me shiver. The thought I couldn'y get out of my mind was: "What it did to her?" Thanks for watching and have a SAFE and Happy New Year! Best; Steve

[@violetbrown2372]

Still hate that cat!

[@STEVEHAYESTOQ]

Me too. Figures, it was the only thing the Alien didn't have a taste for. LOL!
