Alien


In space no one can hear you scream.

by Vivian Rose

"Alien" is a gory, bloody monster mash, and as far as gory, bloody monster mashes go, I found it completely engrossing. (And, yes, it was gross.)

Carrying cargo back to earth on a futuristic spaceship, the crew of workers receives a distress signal. Responding to it, they land on a seemingly deserted planet and encounter a strange batch of eggs, which hatch into alien monsters. Too late, they realize their mistake, and try to kill the creature, which seems invincible.

See "Alien" if you love science fiction, horror, or just a scary, well-planned film. But don't see it if you're chicken, have a tender stomach, scare easily, or lack the guts to read a Stephen King novel.

My rating : 3 stars
Rating : R
