Time Out

The limited strengths of its staple sci-fi horrors always derived from either the offhand organic/ Freudian resonances of its design or the purely (brilliantly) manipulative editing and pacing of its above-average shock quota.

Bloody brilliant.

Cinéfiloz

A horror masterpiece that doesn't age at all because its main theme is the fear of the unknown and that's one of the deepest fears. [Full review in Spanish]

Globe and Mail

Seen again a quarter-century later, we marvel at how the filmmaker generates so much tension and sweat with a bare minimum of moving parts.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

A sci-fi thriller of palpable, nerve-tingling tension, with Sigourney Weaver -- playing warrant officer Ellen Ripley -- in stunning form.

The Spectator

It's tempting to describe the brilliantly staged scenes of horror and surprise but it would be a shame not to allow the film to reveal its own secrets, enough to say that the tension is savage and you are held in suspense right up to the end frames.

Seattle Times

The most startling thing watching Alien again is its pacing. For the first 45 minutes, little happens. It's all slow, exquisite build-up, which makes the second half seem all the more horrific.

TIME Magazine

It is depressing to watch an expensive, crafty movie that never soars beyond its cold desire to score the big bucks.

Baltimore Sun

Still one of the creepiest, scariest, most shocking films ever.

Georgia Straight

There have also been digital restorations and improvements to the original film's negative and sound mix, but the best thing about this rerelease is simply the opportunity to see the awesome Alien in theatres again.

New York Daily News

This is a screamingly spooky sci-fi tale with more than a few echoes of "The Thing" but echoes which enhance rather than detract.
