In Reply to: Most effective Horror movie?? posted by Mr.Mc on June 26, 2001 at 16:53:41:
"Alien" is one of the most suspensful, relentlessly frightening movies ever made. It was one of the first popular films to show space and spaceships as a dirty, industrial, nightmare. Then there was all the drawn out tension as no one is ever sure exactly what the danger is.But, the best part was the classic scenario - being trapped, one on one, with a relentless, superior pursuer. It was easy for audiences to picture themselves in that situation. Later sequels pulled the time-tested mistake of assuming that if one alien is good, why not hundreds. More killing, more aliens, more of everything. They lost the isolation aspect.
I just watched "The Thing" again last week and it shares that one-on-one isolation with "Alien". Kurt Russel idoesn't ham it up, and the rest of the cast is good. It still gave me goosebumps all these years later.
