Night 9: Alien (1979)
Quality: 3.5/5 - It might be because of it's age, but there were a bunch of times we were brought out of it. Be it the clunky ship that seems in no way space-ready or the feeling that there is supposed to be some deeper meaning that just didn't quite make it, it's sadly only decent. I wish there was more about the people to care about... was everyone a robot? Maybe it's the hype. This might be a milestone but it's not a treasure.
Enjoyableness: 4/5 - It's pretty fun though! The effects are still very good. The alien is truly scary. The set pieces were awesome (even if they don't make sense). It's a fun watch for the visuals alone- and leaves you on the high of "Bam! Take that!"
Spookiness: Quite scurry - This movie has a dark palette and a somewhat gritty world. You really understand the trapped feeling. The jumpscares are exactly what a jumpscare should be. It's a good evening in-your-face movie without going too hard.
