Alien [Blu-ray]
A mark of science fiction and horror, Alien indoors in 1979 between Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back as a stylishly malevolent alternative to George Lucas’s space fantasy. Partially inspired by 1958′s It! The Terror from Beyond Space, this instant classic set a tone of its own, offering richly detailed sets, ominous atmosphere, unrelenting suspense, and a flawless all collectively cast as the crew of the space freighter Nostromo, who fall prey to a vicious creature (designed by Swiss artist H.R. Giger) that had gestated inside one of the ill-intended crew members. In a star-making role, Sigourney Weaver excels as sole survivor Ripley, becoming the screen’s most well loved heroine in a valuable movie contract. 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
