I dont get what you fags are talking about, i think Alien ius still perfectly enjoyable and much less dated than the Cameron one.

Now THAT has aged badly. Great FX, good action, but it's the more innocuous of the bunch.

Now Alien 3, that was edgy, dont care about what the purists say. It was an exercise in destroying the audience's expectations.

I re-evalued Alien 4. I still find the style of Jeunet and Caro too cute for the series, but the delirious edge works better with a second viewing.

On the whole i think that the ultimate example of sci-fi horror is Carpenter's The Thing.
