A masterpiece in every way. Prehaps THE definitive sci-fi horror film - Alien: The Director's Cut review by TB
A flat-out masterpiece.
As with my review for Silence of the Lambs, there is so much I could say, but quite simply, this is one of the best films ever made. Even today its effects are still being felt and influencing film.
The cast are uniformly perfect, the atmosphere nerve-shredding, the music outstanding.
And on 4K, which I rented to see the remaster, this is elevated in every way.
See it on the largest, highest-quality TV you can, in the darkest room you can.
