Alien

CriticsCritics: 91
AudienceAudience: 8.5

A commercial spaceship crew investigates a distress signal from a distant world, where an encounter with a strange life form turns a routine journey home into a fight to survive. Isolated aboard their ship, the crew must face a growing threat they do not fully understand.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like patient, atmospheric science-fiction horror that builds dread through isolation and glimpses of the unknown; Not for you if you want fast-paced action or frequent scares.
