Synopsis: On the ship of Nostromo, are the crew. They received the transmission that they believed is the SOS signal. While exploring the planet, one of the crew members found the eggs of an alien but then the creature became attached to him and was putted in quarantine. When he got out, he was joined by the crew members at the dinner table. But then the baby alien burst out of his stomach, killing him and running away. The rest of the crew then must find the alien and kill it before things get worse. But the alien had grown so quickly and is soon hunting down crew members one by one.

 

The Review: What do you get when you mixed a horror film with Star Wars? You get Alien. With such useful gadgets and stuff, this makes a great spaceship. Ripley is certainly an icon heroine. Love the creature itself as it’s scary and Sci-Fi looking at the same time. Not to mention the iconic alien burst of the stomach scene. The Sci-Fi hit is a gas tank which you need to fill up the Sci-Fi vehicle.
