CineMassacre's Monster Madness #21 Alien (1979)

[pedobear1888]

Resident Evil NOW!

[442hoeky]

One of the greatest horror flicks of all time.

[KenVBlog]

Nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be safe.

[900Fabien]

can you do commentary on spiderman 1,2,3

[xDemonSharkx]

Did you guys know that the ALIEN series was one of the direct inspirations for the Metroid series?

[Anacondas101]

does james have an accent???

he says the word "Alien" kinda odd

[Myytmovies]

1:02 THE JUMP SCARE CAT!

[RocketeerRaccoon]

To be honest only the original Alien film was scary, even though Aliens is good as a action flick but I think the Alien series should have stayed in the horror route, all the other sequels are a pile of mess. However the good news is Ridley Scott or directed the original film is bring out Prometheus which is a prequel to Alien.

So looking forward to that. =)

[ShotgunRain96]

One of the best movies ever made. Classic.

[DJMANGO10]

P R O M E T H E U S

[MrThorfan64]

Like this. 1:01 just cat. 1:09 scarey.

[supersonicfan12311]

"In space, no one can hear you scream". What about Houston

[WickedHeroness]

Dead Space?

[goldenbird12345]

ah...the Predator's most formidable prey.why else would they make 2 Alien vs Predator movies?

[NamelessSolider]

Best. Horor. Movie. EVAR.

[Krinlegit911]

Deadspace enough said

[Krinlegit911]

Deadspace enough said

[egloman]

ripley: only person who could survive a xenomorph attack

[eclipseecua]

What sbout PREDATOR? That would be a good movie review

[goldenbird12345]

@eclipseecua well there both good movies and have met each other, proving to be rivals in Alien vs Predator

[goldenbird12345]

@eclipseecua maybe the first but the second PREDATOR movie started with the predator killing four criminals......in a small armory room.....by hand

[BlueTheArcticFox]

It may be old but it's still a classic thriller.

[thetan63]

@BlueTheArcticFox Hey. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's not good.

[Realcoolblue]

Speaking of metroid, Aliens was some of the inspiration for the metroid series. ripley = ridley. Female hero.

[metalsonic641]

@Realcoolblue um i pointed that out a bit earlier,but you have got a good point about those names :D

[Realcoolblue]

@metalsonic641 Oh, sorry I didn't look at all the comments. I got the information off of the Metroid wiki.

[KingFossilFER]

He forgot to add that they cant use guns because the alien's acid blood would make a hole in the ship.

[BuffaloWingz98]

Did you know that in the scene when the alien bursts out those were real reactions

[emotexmex]

@BuffaloWingz98 They used real pig blood :D

[Ondori412]

@BuffaloWingz98 Yeah, all they were told was that "something" was going to happen, they didn't know what or when

[goldenbird12345]

@BuffaloWingz98 that "alien" is called a Chestburster for your information

[ecartman12]

@BuffaloWingz98 They were?? Which scene was it?

[Dim4323]

Alot of sequals their have been the last was Aliens Resurection

[TeeAiDee]

You know what, Rolfe? Your mentioning Metroid actually makes me think about a Metroid/Alien crossover. Wouldn't that be epic?!

[metalsonic641]

@TeeAiDee i heard that metroid is based on the film alien( not fully but you know)

[TeeAiDee]

@metalsonic641 All the more reason to do the crossover, methinks.

[metalsonic641]

@TeeAiDee correct!! samus vs aliens! or something else?

[TeeAiDee]

@metalsonic641 Maybe Samus vs Predators?

[metalsonic641]

@TeeAiDee but it is like BETTER predator vs preadators,samus is to badass to lose to those.....since she killed a BRAIN! :D

[TeeAiDee]

@metalsonic641 True lol

[BrawnX]

@metalsonic641

And the game, to use NEcroscope's word, fuzzed up my brain, just trying to navgate the game. I got a used copy.

[metalsonic641]

@BrawnX lol :D

[TheShadowhunter189]

He should review predator

[Phobosinadamant]

I wonder what James thinks of the second film, it's in my top 5 films and is in my opinion the best sequel ever!

[masterbassist93]

@Phobosinadamant he says in his terminator 2 review "James cameron can go to his grave knowing he made to of the best sci-fi sequels ever; the second being aliens"

[AColonDashSix]

Jonesy, best character in the whole series

[liquidrtype]

@AColonDashSix A space salvage crew, space marines, THE QUEEN, androids, convicts, various hybrid aliens, nuclear explosions, resurrections, and Predator's!.. “Jonesy “the cat is the only one who truly made it! THE LAST TRUE SURVIVOR OF THE NOSTROMO and the series! =)

[VanTX89]

Aw, one of the earliest movies of the genre I saw when I was young. This was so disturbing and suspenseful I had to sleep with the light on...

[OmniTerror]

Game Over James, game over

[MaggogZ]

1:45 well, women have to put up with that shit, and they're quite happy. Personally, I would NEVER have kids if I were a woman, for realz? a living person inside you? are you kidding me?

[NegaZxyz]

@MaggogZ yeah but we are talking about something thats not gonna naturally (dont get me wrong i've seen how "natural" giving birth looks) come out of a hole in your body , but its gonna chew a new hole in your body right where your major organs are.

[MaggogZ]

@NegaZxyz good point

[gamezonic]

alien parasites

[jdav19]

that's like the most pathetic way to get pwned @ 0:42

[astrangeone]

Lol. Nice edit/musical cue at the end, James.

[Gewlasthe23]

It also just so happens that Metroid took a lot of inspiration from Alien. In the games, you can find quite a bit of references to the movies.

[Farkas4444]

Oh, and I tought it's the film version of book Alien.

[Farkas4444]

I remember, my father only watched this horror film, he was a police man, he said: "Okay, time to sleep, I have to work", but when he saw, Alien will be on TV, he said. "Okay after this movie, every one go to bed!"

[mst3KGf]

Besides following the slasher genre rules, "Alien" is essentially a haunted house movie in outer space (they've even got Harry Dean Stanton going "Here kitty kitty kitty" at one point). And it answer the age old question of haunted house flicks, which is, "Why don't they just get out of the house?" Well, in space, there's no place to go.

[NEXUSXEMNAS23]

your mom has a "False Climax" lol

[CptQuestionMark]

false climax.

[SEF6519]

yes, i always think of samus as nintendo's ripley. No matter how many times she tries to kill her aliens off, they always seem to come back the next game...or movie...

[TysweetMusic]

do aliens

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

I prefer the second one to be honest, and James, come on, the original Halloween is MORE than just a slasher flick, not only did it lay down the rules for slasher films, it was a fucking masterpiece, the second greatest horror film of all-time behind Texas Chainsaw Massacre of course.

[ultimatesharpzilla]

NOT A HORROR MOVIE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER CAT!

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

@ultimatesharpzilla I agree, more of a sci-fi-thriller.

[masterbassist93]

1:09 hug?

[PageofLegend]

My dad says my mother puked in the theatre when they showed the alien

[lolwutscout]

Do predator please :)

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

@lolwutscout Predator's an action film -_-

[lolwutscout]

@ComedyRoundTheCorner

I wasn't asking you WAS i?

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

@lolwutscout I just thought you should know that there was no point wasting your time and asking for a film that doesn't qualify for Monster Madness.

[lolwutscout]

@ComedyRoundTheCorner

So i only used up 1.3 seaconds

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

@lolwutscout 1.3 seconds you could've used doing something else.

[lolwutscout]

@ComedyRoundTheCorner

like what?

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

@lolwutscout I don't know what you like to do, think of something yourself.

[lolwutscout]

@ComedyRoundTheCorner

well what im doing ATM is waiting for skyrim on 11.11.11

by azuara by azuara by azuara ONLY 18 DAYS TO GO

[ComedyRoundTheCorner]

@lolwutscout That game is going to be better than sex mixed with Chuck Norris mixed with pizza.

[lolwutscout]

@ComedyRoundTheCorner

OF COURSE I CANT WAIT HERES THE THEME TUNE TO GET YOU PUMPED

/watch?v=veWnhcbKl3k&feature=r­elated

[stix365]

WORT WORT WORT!

I couldn't resist.

[Kirbyguy12345]

Alien just wanted a hug

[TheTechyest]

Did you know when they were filming the part where the alien came out of the first person, they didn't put it in the script. Those were their actual reactions!

[cjjb95]

i never really like ellen ripley...

[Dylemus]

I laugh when the chest burster comes out! Thanks Spaceballs!

[SOLACEBOY]

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[glados360]

Yo Excorcist Is So Fat, SHE SUCKS COCKS IN HELL

[1337wuzty1337]

@glados360 the exorcist is a priest taht take out demons from human

[nightmarereject]

i cant watch that alien comming out of the chest scene without thinking of spaceballs.

[Ghost3210]

1:08 SURPRISE HUG! ;)

[SpartanHedgehog101]

did i see a cyberman?

[Kirbyguy12345]

My dad keeps on saying i should watch alien or aliens i'm a sissy so i'm watching that when i man up

[EroticVultures]

@Kirbyguy12345 they won't bother you that much. definetely watch aliens whatever you do. an amazing film.

[sustelsuk]

1:00 CAATTTT!!!!!!!!!!

[TheRickrollmasta]

@sustelsuk idk how but i didnt flinch

[Dim4323]

@sustelsuk OWWWWL!!!!!!!!

[Nix1794]

Headcrab!

[redcat6002]

Do 'The Thing' James!!

[LukeLovesRose]

As great as Alien is... I think Cameron's own Aliens is still superior in terms of storytelling.

[cha5]

@LukeLovesRose For me Aliens is something more of a pure shoot em up, for pure horror Ridley Scott's Alien is in a class of it's own IMHO.

[LukeLovesRose]

@cha5

Yeah. The characters are so thin in Alien, they didn't need to do a lot to scare audiences. You've got a character (Brett) that says, "Right" every five seconds. Aside from "Here, kitty, kitty," that is the most he says. lol

Cameron gave us some creepy images, some iconic lines and some truly great characters... while taking us on the most awesome, brutal roller coaster ride. What more do you want in a film?? As far as I know, you honestly can't get much more.

[cha5]

@LukeLovesRose I prefer the sense of creeping horror you get in Alien plus Giger's nightmarish design work for his monster which the Cameron film just doesn't come close to for me at least.

The Cameron film is a little too rah rah ramboesque machismo for my taste and has none of the building terror of the original chest burster scene or Ash's decapitation bit and Ripley discovering the Alien in the escape pod. Cameron's film is a good shoot 'em up but for horror give me Scott & Giger's film

[cha5]

@LukeLovesRose But to each their own.

[LukeLovesRose]

@cha5

I love the feeling of tension and creepiness in a movie... if and when the film actually pulls it off. A lot of filmmakers can't do it. And, for the first times I saw Alien, yes, the movie affected me a lot. But, after so long, you begin to see everything for what it is and you know exactly when that Alien is going to pop out from. It loses the tension and mystery in repeat viewing. And truly great films can't lose their luster after 100 times IMO. Aliens is timeless. Alien is not IMO.

[cha5]

@LukeLovesRose Yes well for me Alien and Blade Runner are the Science Fiction and Horror highlights of their era and both films are masterpieces, Plus Giger's mixture of the organic and the mechanical in his monster and his sets doesn't date unlike Cameron's Aliens with it's rah rah shoot 'em up and let god sort it out fest, not to mention the alpha mother bitchfest battle which for me got cliched about the fifth time I saw it. we're just going to have to agree to disagree about Alien VS Aliens

[cha5]

@LukeLovesRose Like you said, to each their own.

[moonblaze1000]

"I can't think of anything more terrifying than having a living creature inside you just waiting to burst out."

Er, that happens in real life. It's called childbirth.

...If I ever have kids, this movie's gonna haunt me.

[rustinpeace1992]

alien terminator 1 and 2 predator - Cameron's best work

[SonicSnail95]

the first time I saw the chestburster scene, I was around 8 years old. it was around Christmas and FX wass showing the new director's cut over and over. I wass eating Scicilian Pizza. it was not all that enjoyable of an experience, as you can well imagine.

also, thumbs up if you agree that James should review all of the Alien movies (Alien to either AvP:R or Prometheus) in depth

[nightbane2]

James Cameron goes from R rated gross movies.

Alien,Terminator,Predator.

to rated PG/PG-13 futuristic and/or disaster movies.

Titanic,Avatar,and..... hmmm.

Thats all I got.

[naedanger123]

@nightbane2 Predator? WTF? James Cameron didn't direct that.

[DrakeMagnum]

I think Alien is still one of the best science fiction films ever made, and it was 1979.

[lenrat117]

am I the only one who thinks avp was a good idea?

[SantaFishes101]

1:36 one word. childbirth.  :P

[otakufan217]

i have never seen alien but my dad keeps telling me to watch it because he wants

to watch aliens with me

[deepvoodoo]

Most late '70s sci-fi blockbusters were big-budget remakes of older stuff. Star Wars owes a lot to the Kirosawa film Hidden Fortress along with some westerns and serials, Superman was just the origin with a random scheme for him to foil, Star Trek: the Motion Picture had a lot of the same themes as the episode "the Changeling," the Black Hole was more-or-less "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" in space (or so I'm told) and Moonraker was pretty much just Thunderball in space.

[lenrat117]

@deepvoodoo moonraker is just thunderball in space... i never noticed that before. nice one ;)

[yodawithsunglasses]

i dont see how this movie is scary the only stuff that scares me are ghosts(in movies) and dolls that kill people



[Drakozap]

@yodawithsunglasses

Well see Poltergeist and Chucky then ;)

[yodawithsunglasses]

@Drakozap k i will



[SonicSnail95]

@yodawithsunglasses aside from the terrifying creature, the ideas in it are horrifying themselves. in a slasher flick, you could always just leave the house. this is a spaceship, no way out. not to mention, if you die, it's one of two ways: one, you're ripped apart by this monster, or two, you are mouth raped and forcibly give birth to ANOTHER monster. even if you don't find the monster scary, put yourself in the character's shoes, and it becomes flat out terrifying.

[yodawithsunglasses]

@SonicSnail95 your right im just saying that i am not afraid of this movie if i were ripley then i would be terrified but as a movie viewer im not scared

[AlbinoKetchup]

Alien is a film about interspecies rape. Jus' sayin'

[MichaelLeroi]

thumbs up if James should do Event Horizon for MM 2011

[xIegionx]

@MichaelLeroi He won't.

[MichaelLeroi]

@xIegionx To be fair, we know that now. But when I posted this comment he hadn't announced "sequel - a thon" So as far as anyone knew, it could have just been another horror anthology

[Taraka1]

My mother use to use this movie to make me go to bed when I was 3. Now its my favorite movie.

[CultureClasher]

People keep saying that "Alien" is a science fiction movie, but really its not its a monster movie--imagine if you took "The Old Dark House" with a monster on the loose.

[younggunsfan]

Imma say it right now. Dead Space sucks ass. Its a ripoff of the Space Horror genre,which isnt bad but comparing it to ALIEN just = fail. Don't get me wrong, Dead Space has its own appeal, just like the ALIEN series and the alien movies before it. The only problem is it blends SO MUCH from movies like ALIEN and others like it that it just turns into one big Movie mash that I would rather watch. However, after Alien3, the Alien series started sucking as well.

[MrButtbanger]

This film is one of the top 5 movies ever.

[mechagodzilla419]

i couldnt sleep when i watch this movie i even got scared of watching is review

[TheSaberman20]

why did the cat sream

[XxMikhailMayhemxX]

or dead space :P

[TheBestComicKing]

31 people gave birth to an Alien

[MrSmexiiPanda621]

1:08 HUG!!

[arisnapeforever]

Poor John Hurt...no one deserves that fate

[robin1ish]

it starts out slow

[Ultra24K]

1:35 FACE RAPE!!

[lanemorse666]

better than aliens, but its really a matter of personal taste

[TheAdam1995]

Ridley Scott is working on a new movie originally intended to be prequel to his space slasher masterpiece called Prometheus.

[TheHDBailly]

HaHaHaXD Metriod

[venomfan3412]

@HolyShitLoveRE4 where can I find that ending?

[Hapydude101]

my tummy hurts :)

[kamilj95]

0:13 - New Wave Of British Heavy Shit :D

[NapalmSkull12]

This movie was the inspiration behind dead space.they follow the exact same concept

[Pikazilla]

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

[smashpro35]

@Pikazilla DOOOOOOOOOOOOOG

[Chrisbajs]

Loved the Metroid referance.

[lylatfox4]

@Chrisbajs

metroid is like a tribute to aliens, if u watch aliens the movie, u will know what the story of metroid is about, well sorta but metroid basically aliens but mucch less scary

[kewltricks]

@Chrisbajs You're just saying that because you think you are cool because you know where the reference came from.

[flembagg966]

isn't sigourney weaver the woman who was also in ghostbusters?

[jerichox08]

@flembagg966  yes

[naedanger123]

@flembagg966 She was in a lot of movies mate, but yes, Ghostbusters was one of 'em.

[MrMrFirepants]

If you guys like alien or event horizon there is a game you should check out called dead space . It has one person isolated on a space ship with aliens

[123123s3]

@MrMrFirepants dude the alien series have a differnece between dead space well lets see.....alien usually has 1 killer while in dead space your being attacked by FUCKING SPACE ZOMBIES the alien series came first and dead space has nothing in simalir except in setting and that is just it

[Camohat100]

@123123s3 ...one alien? have you only seen the first one? aliens was a liget action ovie

[123123s3]

@Camohat100 yes i have they are called xenomorphs or morphs anyway they put eggs in your chest cavity which kill you when they burst and hatch and are hunted by predators

[Camohat100]

@123123s3 point is it and dead space actually have alot in common

[Tessmage]

@MrMrFirepants

There is nothing original about Dead Space. It is most definitely a rip-off of a much better and older game, called "System Shock 2." I highly recommend the latter, if stuff like that appeals to you.

[TheFartking90]

Predator is missing, i think...

[LittleMac96]

31 people were so terrified that they went to get their chest X-Rayed.

[11AgentOrange11]

Seeing all the people in the comments who prefer Aliens or Resurrection to this just makes my heart sink.

Whats wrong with you guys?

[SolidMike84]

@11AgentOrange11

People prefer Resurrection over this??

Hey, whatever makes you people happy, I just...God no

Aliens was awesome though, Resurrection...Ugh

[HolyShitILoveRE4]

fun fact: a cut ending involved the alien eating ripleys head off, and then recording a message in her voice

[MrWiiarefun]

@HolyShitILoveRE4 thats cool, where did you here that?

[coleisawesome532]

thumbs up if you herd the srcew attack theme at the very end! lol

[sangheili333]

Cinemassacre should review The Thing, the remade version, it was awesome

[texben123]

I'VE SEEN ALIEN MOVIES SO MANY TIME NOW.

[scaryguy004]

"and i cant think of anything more terrifying than having a living creature inside you ready to burst out"

actually that can happen in real life,and it called "being pregnent"

[scaryguy004]

is alienS a sequel to this?

[Moonfane14]

@scaryguy004

Yup
