A classic! Anytime there’s a plot revolving a killer predator (Jaws, Jurassic Park, etc.), I am always thoroughly entertained. Alien takes it a step further as it strays away from the typical action adventure genre involving a deadly animal and dives straight into horror. Sojourner Weaver is our inspiring heroine (a female lead…in a thriller movie..who is not just a strangely sexualized victim…in the 70s—that’s pretty progressive).

A serial killer movie with a dash of paranormal is already interesting. Add the fact that the paranormal spirits in question are assisting our beloved protagonist makes me extra invested!! The child actors are absolutely brilliant. Madeline McGraw’s performance is especially impressive. Her portrayal of the witty, supernaturally gifted sister (who is far more clever than any of the adult characters in the film) really draws you in. The moments of violence are earned as they are used sparingly and they are not overly gory.
