4 foreign reviews of Alien (1979)

  • 1. Moviezine
    10 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It is easy to state that "Alien" has maintained its magnificent grandeur. That the three sequels then developed the basic concept in various directions with varying degrees of success becomes a pure bonus in this context.
