alien-1979
The Big Picture I was seriously late to the game with the Alien franchise. I grew up abjectly terrified of the section of Hollywood Studios’ Great Movie Ride themed to the iconic Ridley Scott film , so even after that ride was unceremoniously gutted from the Disney Parks, I was hesitant to engage with the films, even with multiple people telling me I was missing out on one of the greatest horror icons in cinema history.
Release Date June 22, 1979 Director Ridley Scott Cast Sigourney Weaver , Tom Skerritt , John Hurt , Veronica Cartwright , Harry Dean Stanton , Ian Holm , Yaphet Kotto Runtime 117 minutes Main Genre Sci-Fi 'Alien' Hosts an Unexpected Source of Terror As a first-time viewer, what surprised me is that it’s not the final evolution of the titular alien — if we’re using Pokemon terms — that scares me the most.
Before the chants of “boo, tomato, tomato” start, I’m not saying Alien is bad. I’ve never fully jived with Scott’s style — I’ve always preferred his brother Tony Scott’s adrenaline-fueled approach to filmmaking — and I can be honest when I say that part of my critiques of the film comes from the fact that Scott’s always seemed more concerned with a good-looking frame over a compelling story to me.
