In 1979 "Alien" by Ridley
Scott is released, and everything changes forever. As a true watershed for
Science Fiction and Horror genres, this work arises not only as a cornerstone
of Fanta-Horror but also as a launching pad for a myriad of genres and
subgenres that will emerge and develop over the following decades.
The film describes a "dirty
future" in which a ship returning from a distant planet with a shipment of
minerals, the Nostromo, picks up a cryptic and disturbing message from the
satellite of an unknown planet. The ship's central computer, Mother, decides to awaken the crew members from the
hyper-sleep, which will be forced to descend on the unknown planet to trace the
origin of the mysterious signal and to clarify the directives that led the
computer to wake them up from hypersleep. But nothing they could imagine comes
close to the chilling truth that they will have to face, and the horror that
will come to the Nostromo will be something that none of them was ready to
face. A profoundly disturbing film, shot by God, with a soundtrack and a
montage that create a tension growing by the
minute and an idea of Stellar Space which appears revolutionary when
compared to what was seen until then. A masterpiece of science fiction and not
only, an epochal film and an absolute cult, which has launched more sub-genres
than can be imagined and introduced the legendary figure of the Xenomorph, a
scary and iconic monster at the level of classics like Dracula and
Frankenstein. An immortal film to watch again and again also to slowly unveil
its hidden subplot which can reveal many more things than you think.
