ALIEN was the first
serious big budget, scifi horror / thriller where the creature wasn't some clumsy guy in a rubber suit with no expression. This monster was frightening
because it was presented seriously. It had a life-cycle, it was fast and killed indescriminently - as it would in nature. Audiences had never been "hunted" like that in space before - ergo it was a huge success and became the yardstick by which all others were measured - and still are. As much for set design and technique as Blade Runner and Star Wars, it set the standard for scifi horror...
