Film 122/365, Day 132/365 – Alien

Fantastic sci-fi, average horror.  Alien wasn’t that scary, but considering that it is over thirty years old it is still an excellently made film.  Long before CGI became widespread and largely over used films were reliant on scale models and sets.  Alien has got to be one of the finest examples of this, each set is fantastically crafted and the visuals of the alien spaceship are incredible.

Synopsis:  A deep space mining ship receives a distress signal whilst travelling back to Earth. The signal leads them to a baron world where they discover an enormous alien spaceship.  Everything on the ship appears to be dead, that is until an alien creature attaches itself to the face on one of the crew.
