Alien is creepy

In 1979, Alien was the movie that scared everyone because it had Si-fi and horror mixed together to frighten people for years. Alien is about a crew in outer space who investigate a SOS message from a planet and when they arrive, they found a unknown species. These species grabs a hold of one of the crew members and then later unleashes evil on the rest of the crew. On this movie website, I found two writes who wrote reviews about Alien. James Richard Armstrong II gave us his opinion along with a brief description of the movie. He said "What I liked about this film then and now is how they (writers) keep us in suspense, instead of just grossing us out with violent images. It's not knowing what is around the corner is what is scary, not gore." As a child, the movie scared the crap out of him and to this day it gives him nightmares, but he says that "Ridley Scott is a genius". Another writer, Barry G., gives his opinion about the movie saying "This is the best movie ever!" He discusses the movie with a brief description of both the movie and the alien and how it has influenced other monster movies since it came out. This website gives two detailed reviews about Alien. These are two positive reviews which persuade people to see this movie.
