| One of the scariest movies I have ever seen. I
suppose it could be classified as a horror film, but it is obviously
much more in depth than some of today's horror flicks. Ever seen
Urban Legends? *shudders* Anyways, there is a lot of character
development in Alien, but it is not as nearly fast-paced as the
films sequel. This doesn't hurt it though, as it never loses
your attention. I'd tell you more, but its a lot more exciting
if you just see it yourself :) |

Summer 1979. Souvlaki Pita and H.R.Giger. I remember
meeting friends in line 3 hours before the movie (this is when
you HAD to wait in line to get tickets, it brought an excitement
and anticipation that we don't get anymore) Eating my first ever
Pita Souvlaki and watching the earlier show's croud exiting the
theater, all looking terrorised - LOL. We couldn't WAIT to get
in. When I came out of the theater I was so excited, we wanted
to go see it again right away :) and it introduced me, like others,
into the world of H.R. Giger. Without his vision, this movie
would never have become a classic. 22 years later, this movie
STILL ROCKS. It's the best of the series and so beautifully scripted
and filmed. Ridley Scott's approach to use Spielberg's method
in Jaws, to NOT show the Alien, created so much suspence and
edge of your seat tension, it made the climax of the movie 500%
more intense. Needless to say it was my favourite film of 1979
and on my all time fave list as well. A MUST OWN, it's impossible
to just want to watch it one time only :P |

| The real high-light of the Alien DVD is the commentary
from Ridley Scott. He puts a lot of insight into his film, and
finally explains how well informed the cast was about the famous
"dinner scene". There is also artwork and photo galleries,
original storyboards, and theatrical trailers. Several deleted
scenes are also included, including the scene where part of the
crew begins to mutate into eggs. |

Unfortunately and why I have NO CLUE, the making
of Alien is on a seperate dvd, That you had to order by mail.
I think now it is even discontinued. Dumb move Fox!!! It is a
really cool documentary not to be missed by any fan of the movie
and should have been included from the start. But if you bought
Alien outside the box set, you can still listen to a kick butt
commentary by Ridley Scott who really brings you in depth anecdotes
into the making of the movie. Another cool feature is the isolated
Jerry Goldsmith Score. No need to buy the soundtrack :) And as
Nils mentions, you can finally get to see the famous deleted
scene where Ripley finds Dallas turning into a cocoon. |
