The perfect mix of all the best aspects of horror from the gut wrenching tension to the grotesque creature

My wife and I are about to get a dog and watching this right beforehand was a big mistake on my part. It’s awesome though.

The quintessential claustrophobic horror film. A gripping classic. Beautifully crafted and executed in almost every way.

Classic body horror and an alien whodunnits So many great moments. The effects are grotesque and delightful. Required horror fan viewing.

Love this movie, I wished I watched it sooner. Amazing atmosphere, and the paranoia had me guessing who's who the entire time.

Classical effects just never get old. One classic that ya sure need to watch

My first real taste of a horror movie, and it scared the be-jesus out of me.

My favorite horror movie because of the effects, setting and characters.
