Alien: Scariest Movie Ever?

Dalkar, Undefined, 18 years ago

I was watching a show a while back that was counting down the 100 most scary movies/movie moments ever. Alien was #2(the chestburster scene) it was only beat by Jaws which I dont believe was that scary. Aliens was #35 in the countdown also. One of the guys talking about Alien described it as being a Gothic Horror where i prefer to think it as Sci-Fi Horror. What do you think?

i think alien was a great sci-fi/horror of it's time it was well made for being a "B" movie. my fav part was the chest buster scene, and it still if one of the most scary films out there, that is what i think.

Alien3 is more a gothic horror, alien was pure bred sci-fi horror and in my opinion is one of the scariest films of all time. Gotta love it.

Yep. Heck, it's wannabe, Deep Blue Sea, only me made me scared when I saw the shark eating the bald morons arm off. But that was because I was, what??? 9 years old?

Alien is a good scary film. Ive watched aliens heaps, but not alien so it keeps the surprise up when u havnt seen it for a while.

I also believe alien was one of the scariest films of all time. Especially at the time when it was released. Nobody had ever seen anything like it before. Even mow it still remains one of the scariest.

The original Alien is a classic & without doubt one of the greatest movies ever made. Back in '79 when it was released, it had audiences running from the theater screaming & vomiting in the bathrooms, especially during the chestburster scene. Back then though, audiences had never seen a movie like it & it was very shocking & new. But there are scarier movies today. One example is Darkness Falls, it's not a gory, splatter movie, but it is scary as hell, watch it for yourself & see. By '79's standards of horror movies, nothing even came close to the level of terror that Alien dished up, but by today's standards, there are far scarier movies around.

Thats ok. I dont think my comment actually counts, due to it being deep blue sea, but I stand guilty.

i think the movie alien is more than a movie but a pice of art it is one of the best movies out there and unlike most movies nowadays it had a very strong cast with out 1 week actor. Now adays there are no scarye moves becuase all directors focus on is haveing thoughs jumpy momints but you can have the samething in a comidy.

Hey Harrigan I didn't mean or want this topic to be about bashing jaws. I thought Jaws was a great movie I was just saying I thought Alien was scarier then Jaws.

I don't think any of the Alien movies were scary at all. Exept the first time I saw Alien 1, they're all just... cool.
