UK/USA
Feature Film
Director: Ridley Scott
Writers: Dan O'Bannon, Ronald Shusett
Cinematographer: Derek Vanlint
Composer: Jerry Goldsmith
Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Yaphet Kotto

With its elegant camera work, unhurried pacing, convincing effects, sumptuous sets, and impressive performances, this painfully suspenseful science-fiction/horror film, a tale of a killer alien let loose aboard a cargo ship in deep space, is something of a genre classic. Iain.Stott
