Kungani i-Alien iyifilimu enkulu kunazo zonke ye-horror yesikhathi sonke?
Phakathi kokunye, yenza umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu wokwenza abasebenzi beNostromo bazizwe bengabantu. Sichitha isikhathi esiningi nabo ngaphambi kokuba kwenzeke izinto ezivusa amadlingozi noma ezesabekayo. Siyaqonda ukuthi bangamalungu eqembu elisondelene, futhi bayakhathalelana, nokuthi kakade banobutha benkampani yezimayini eyabathumela emkhathini. Lokhu kwenza kube okwethusayo nokudabukisayo nakakhulu lapho ekugcineni iningi labo liba isisulu somfokazi.  Okwesibili, umlingiswa oyinhloko omubi ku-Alien akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi uyesabisa kakhulu kunanoma yisiphi esinye isidalwa esibi esake senziwa, indlela abakha ngayo kokubili indaba yakhe yangemuva kanye nokudalulwa kwakhe okugcwele ekugcineni kuyamangalisa. Lapho siqala ukubona isidalwa sasemkhathini esincane esiqhumayo, thina noma iqembu asizange sibe nombono wokuthi sasiyoba sikhulu, sesabe futhi sibulale kangakanani. Kusukela ekhazimuleni kwalo okunamathelayo, okubushelelezi kuya ekhonweni lalo lokuzingela elinenkohliso nelingakhulumi, ngempela lingamandla angenakunqandeka. Ukube ngangivalelwe emkhunjini womoya naleso silwane, angazi ukuthi bengizokwenzenjani.  Futhi ekugcineni, i-Alien izwakala "iyiqiniso" ngokwengeziwe ngezindikimba zayo ezivamile nezifike ngesikhathi zokuhaha nokwesaba okungaziwa. Kunezindaba eziningi ezingokoqobo zezinkampani zezimayini ezikhohlisa izisebenzi zazo zasensimini futhi zibeke ukuphila kwazo engozini ukuze zithole imali esheshayo; amaqembu ahlukene ezisebenzi ayahlanya, ahlushwa izifo ezingabonakali, futhi awela enhlekeleleni nasekudidekeni; futhi yebo, indaba yesilwane esidla inyama nesilwane esizingelayo mhlawumbe iyona endala kunazo zonke. Ukwesaba kwayo okunonya, okunonya, nokwesabekayo kwakubonakala kuseduze cishe ngawo-1970 lapho kwenziwa, futhi kuye kwanda kuphela ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
