Alien 35th anniversary

[DenOfEarth]

It's been 35 years since the film has changed the way of both the sci-fi and horror genres were done.

Sure it was inspired by low budget 50's stuff and EC sci-fi comics but with Dan O'Bannon and Roland Shusset's screenplay, it knows how to chill everyone to the bone.

This movie made Sigourney Weaver a major star and John Hurt was fantastic in the role as one of the ill-fated crew members. The film had 2 unique creepy teasers that played in theaters and TV as it became one of the highest grossing movies of 1979 despite some mixed reviews.

It has the feel of Jaws in space by some people who mentioned it mainly critics as it jolts and thrills spawning a franchise, imitators especially by the Europeans who love to imitate trend-setting hollywood films sometimes, merchandise and all that.
