Alien

Ridley Scott, 1979 (suom. "Alien - kahdeksas matkustaja")

Everyone's seen this film or its sequel, but it' still great. The term 'alien' entered common use generally meaning a monster from outer space from this film. Quite a cast of great actors for a horror film, one must say, and they're great! Weaver as the action woman is one of a kind and the other woman (Veronica Cartwright) does a great job sobbing and screaming in pure horror and despair when they realize they are being hunted without a chance to run. Such an atmosphere with the sounds of the spacecraft and running water (key element also in Blade Runner; lessons learned from Kurosawa?), waiting in the silence for the monster to attack. And what a monster! The greatest movie monster of all time in (quite literally) getting under your skin. The monster that kills horribly and beautifully. Probably the greatest inside-a-spacecraft film around in terms of atmosphere. The android white blood is ingenious.
