Details: Product DescriptionThe terror begins when the crew of a spaceship investigates a transmission from a desolate planet, and discovers a life form that is perfectly evolved to annihilate mankind. One by one, each crew member is slain until only Ripley is left, leading to an explosive conclusion that sets the stage for its stunning sequel, « Aliens. »Amazon.caA landmark of science fiction and horror,Alien arrived in 1979 betweenStar Wars andThe Empire Strikes Back as a stylishly malevolent alternative to George Lucas’s space fantasy. Partially inspired by 1958’sIt! The Terror from Beyond Space, this instant classic set a tone of its own, offering richly detailed sets, ominous atmosphere, relentless suspense, and a flawless ensemble cast as the crew of the space freighterNostromo, who fall prey to a vicious creature (designed by Swiss artist H.R. Giger) that had gestatedinside one of the ill-fated crew members. In a star-making role, Sigourney Weaver excels as sole survivor Ripley, becoming the screen’s most popular heroine in a lucrative movie franchise. To measure the film’s success, one need only recall the many images that have been burned into our collective psyche, including the « facehugger, » the « chestburster, » and Ripley’s climactic encounter with the full-grown monster. Impeccably directed by Ridley Scott,Alien is one of the cinema’s most unforgettable nightmares.–Jeff Shannon
