Alien is an interesting twist in horror films. Horror films try to target people’s fears, and most people fear the “unknown”. Alien is set in space, and of course, this is a mysterious location. Tim Derks mentions in his article, “t introduced both somber horror elements and gore to its traditional science-fiction tale.” His article thoroughly describes the elements of the film that make it so terrifying, and in turn, one of the most popular horror films today. This article is packed with critical analysis of the movie, as well as the feelings of the audience towards the movie. Alien was one of the first movies to play with the idea of horror, and give it a science-fictional perspective.
