Top 20 Horror films...#3...

#3 Alien (1979)
Tagline: In space, no one can hear you scream.



Quite simply, the best science fiction horror film ever made. It will never be topped - superb sets, score, creature effects, gore, atmosphere, acting and story. A masterwork for Ridley Scott. Sigourney Weaver is the quintessential horror heroine, hell even Jonesy the cat gets a great scene here and there. You think it can't get any worse than the facehugger, then the chestburster scene happens...the finest moment of agony and death ever witnessed in a motion picture - is it bad to call it art when someone is literally torn apart from the inside? No CGI here, kiddies! H.R. Giger's creature design has been copied a hundred times since he set the bar with this. Highest standard in every way...now I need to go watch it again. ACK!
