Levit 10/10 "The best recommendation for this film is the multitude of fans that watch this movie time and time again, re-experiencing same, often not so pleasant emotions, yet enjoying the rarely good work of art when they see one."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dragan Antulov A+ "A wondrous reminder of how imagination can triumph over budget."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens B+ "Remains one of the best examples of sustained tension. There is a sense of ominousness, a sense that something bad is going to happen, from the moment the film begins."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider A- "A crucial film, a unique meld of genuine science-fiction and hardcore horror."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov A- "Still one scary mother."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Alien is a scare machine that really works."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 4/4 "In an era where the horror genre has faded into a laughable mix of teen slashers and formulaic storylines, Alien provides a welcome nostalgic dose of authentic terror."   Film and Felt   Gabe Leibowitz 3.5/4 "The way [Ridley] Scott meticulously raises the sense of menace and tension is worthy of Hitchcock."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "Both the Nostromo and the alien world where the alien gets picked up are strange and unforgettably original."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 3/4 "Also welcome is the late-70s distrust of corporate authority, where the mother ship winds up being more duplicitous and evil than the marauding alien."   Slant Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp B "Technically, Scott has consistently demonstrated that he ranks among the best popular film artists. Unfortunately, Scott’s film doesn’t work for me as well in other areas."   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit 9/10 "...more than a hair-raising sci-fi thriller...one of the best horror films ever made."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "This is still a great film and it should be seen on the big screen."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 6/6 "The limited strengths of its staple sci-fi horrors always derived from either the offhand organic/ Freudian resonances of its design or the purely (brilliantly) manipulative editing and pacing of its above-average shock quota."   Time Out New York   Keith Uhlich 5/5 "One of those rare, timeless movies."   Film Threat   Kevin Carr "The greatest science fiction horror film ever made."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 5/5 "It still has the power to scare the life out of us."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "Scott can still get me to jump by putting me almost on edge and then throwing me overboard with a small but loud hiss or from something that leaps out of the darkness."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 5/5 "Horrifying in the most joyously primal way."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "Alien proved that material derided as B-movie fodder could be handled with finesse and glossy production values, without diminishing the thrills or polishing over the hard-edged horror."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski  (1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1
