Ridley Scott Movie ALIEN : When a mining crew in space responds to a distress
signal and lands on an unknown planet they get more than they bargained for!
Hellacious Movies Movie Review : Ridley Scott "shows no mercy" and exposes us to the things that
our worst nightmares are made of... FACE HUGGERS! CHEST BURSTERS! and TOOTHY
REPTILIAN LIKE ALIENS! And like good little masochists we keep going back for more!
ALIEN captured the imagination of the world with this groundbreaking film! SCI FI films were
generally ignored until Star Wars became the latest sensation! ALIEN hit the ground running
riding on the coattails of Star Wars success! It did not take long to realize ALIEN was one of
those rare movies that defines a whole new genre of movies! The "I am woman hear me roar" genre
was born and it could not of been pulled off without the incomparable talent of Sigourney Weaver!
Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) became an iconic role model for girls all over the world! For the first
time in movie history men became the unwilling subject of an extraterrestrial rape! Playing on
mans fear of oral rape and childbirth! They put the proverbial shoe on the other foot and it
scared the bejesus out of male audience members like no other movie could!
