MIXED Reviews

|
| “Has the usual number of inconsistencies, improbabilities and outright absurdities characteristic of the sci-fi and horror genres. What is interesting, though, is its hostile critical reception, despite the excellent visual values, direction that is no more hokey than usual in such films, dialogue that (when it is decipherable) is par for the course, and acting that is generally superior. What earmarks Alien as a probable audience hit and certifiable critical flop is merely that the horror is more horrible than usual.” |
| (John Simon) |

| “Just another bloodthirsty shocker, albeit with a classier production than most, and with an army of interesting special effects.” |
