SCAD Cinema Circle: Alien

After forty five years and numerous sequels, spin-offs, and crossovers, it's easy to forget the chilling precision and mesmerizing simplicity that makes Ridley Scott's original film such a shockingly perfect hybrid of horror and science fiction. From its cool, sinister textures to its stomach-churning special effects, this futuristic reinvention of the haunted house movie that that introduced the American action heroine with Weaver's Ripley along with the iconic H.R. Giger designed Xenomorph, is as terrifying as it is strangely beautiful. Featuring an introduction and post-screening conversation with a SCAD professor.
