There are few movies that defines both the Sci-Fi and Horror genre simultaneously with Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic, Alien. In this vlog-style review, I’ll be looking into how the monster of the movie became a pop-culture icon and how it created space as the perfect horror setting, along with understanding the tagline of “In space, no one can hear you scream.”

If I had a dime for every single piece of media this one film inspired, I'd be rich enough to buy the moon.

I was honestly not expecting you to review this, I’ll admit I’m not a huge fan of the Alien franchise, however when it comes to the original, there’s Don denying that it is absolutely a sci-fi and horror classic, from its story, visuals and characters and of course with that iconic Xenomorph, this definitely is a film that did define both sci-fi and horror and even cinema in general, on top of how it really did become a big part of pop culture with how the franchise is still relevant today both in terms of movies and even just recently in television with the release of the new Alien series, Alien Earth.

I was surprised that you made a review of the 1979 film, Alien, from Ridley Scott. When it comes to the Alien franchise, I wasn’t on board until I see some bit of clips of Alien Vs Predator that lead me to see the movie itself when I got it on Blu-ray as I was just about an adult. After seeing both the original cut and the director’s cut, my thoughts is that it looks amazing as a sci fi horror film and one of Ridley Scott’s best films next to films like Blade Runner, Gladiator, Thelma and Louise, and Black Hawk Down he made for example. I know there some parts that are considered dated like the noticeable effects and don’t find anything surprising now considering Sigourney Weaver later appear in other Alien films as Ripley, but I think what is considered amazing me when it comes to the direction, writing, and the horror suspense along with the slow burn that helps makes the film terrific after all these years. This of course includes great performances such as the late Ian Holm who later appeared in The Lord of the Rings, The Fifth Element, and Ratatouille, the production design, the special effects and makeup, characters that are worth caring for, score by the late Jerry Goldsmith despite minimal at best, cinematography, and editing that makes this film looks fantastic after all these years. I watched all the films afterwards like Aliens from James Cameron which that one was great though I prefer Ridley Scott’s movie more, Alien 3 which was a let down despite David Fincher’s directorial debut but later made acclaim films starting with Seven, Alien Resurrection which was awful, the crossover films with the Predator films which first one was okay while Requiem sucked. As for the prequels which Scott came back to return, they were divisive at best but really not all that good. Then there was recently with Alien Romulus made by Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe director, Fede Alvarez, which I thought it was good but lean a bit too much on nostalgia honestly. All this say that the franchise had hit or miss movies but none of them come close to what the original film has done. I’m glad that I have seen it considering that the Alien films and the Xenomorph creatures became such pop culture icons over the years in movies, TV series, and cartoons including one episode in the final season of Regular Show that made reference to Alien and the Xenomorph creatures to show how popular they became. I’m so far watching new episodes of Alien: Earth from FX on Hulu and they’re so far intriguing so far but very promising to say the least for those that want to get into with the series but it very interesting so far. Alien is definitely an unforgettable movie that many horror fans will not forget as the years goes by.
