A Little Frightening, But That's It.

"Alien" is a rather frightening film. It has it's own kind of fear to it. A fear that can only be found while watching this specific film. The reason I find it scary, is because you don't actually see the alien until almost the end of the film. The build up of how scary you think the alien will be, is almost as frightening as seeing it. I was really frightened when I first saw the full grown version pop up in one of the scenes. H.R. Giger, the designer of the alien, really made it look real, and truly scary. The disappointing part is, that's really all I liked about this flick.

If you want to know the honest truth, I was expecting it to be much better for some reason. It had its moments, but I was expecting so much more. I wasn't entertained the whole way through, and thought they could have a little more going on. I might be one of only a few people saying this, but Alien just isn't my cup of tea.
