Quotes

Plainly put, Alien is an old-fashioned scary movie set in a highly realistic sci-fi future, made all the more believable by expert technical craftmanship. Picture isn't quite good enough to be a combination of The Exorcist and Star Wars, but both titles are likely to come to mind. — Variety
