PARC AT MIDNIGHT : PEOPLE’S CHOICE
In the distant future, the crew of the commercial spaceship "Nostromo" are returning home, when they receive a distress signal from a remote moon, located somewhere in the Zeta Reticuli quadrant. As per company policy, the large towing vessel makes a landing to investigate closer. Three of the crew set out to explore the area and discover a hive colony of unknown origin - just as the ship's computer deciphers the message to be a forewarning, in stead of a distress call. And when one of the eggs is disturbed from its dark and hideous slumber, the crew eventually realize that they aren't alone anymore. And a dire struggle for survival ensues.
‘’Alien arguably remains the standout winner of the franchise. Between the steadily rising tension, haunting visual and creature designs, some excellent performances from its cast, especially Weaver, and a subtle-yet-chilling score from Jerry Goldsmith, the sci-fi horror film certainly holds the test of time. One can hope future filmmakers continue to learn the right lessons from Scott's original.’’ (SCREEN RANT)
