  • My favorite thing about this movie is that the cat survives. :D

  • @AlienatedStud

    The trailer works - Among other things, it captures the INTENSE DESPERATION that builds up in the story.

  • @McLarenMercedes In response to your comment: I weep for my generation.

  • Prometheus. BRING IT ON !!!

  • they just don't make movies like this anymore :(

  • How times have changed.

    Back in 1979 a simple but effective trailer like this made people scared and interested at the same time.

    Would this kind of trailer work today?? Nope. Because today's brainless movie audience want everything spoonfed to them. A deep voice telling the plot, lots of shots of sex, bad jokes and overly dramatic music.

    There's even some youtube personality who does "modern version" trailers for classic movies. They are entertaining at least. Highligting our time.

  • Check out the "Prometheus" trailer: trailer homage!

  • There will never again be a film that genuinely terrified audiences the way this did. Fucking Genius score too...

  • @0ooTheMAXXoo0 Sadly, you are correct

  • @jazzx251 Aliens is a thriller and horror movie as well. It has elements of many genres but feels scary more than exciting, even more so than an action thriller. So I guess I would call it a horror film. Action and thriller films just aren't as scary or horrifying.

  • @CrazyCessnaPilot Costs too much money to get the license to show movies like this one. Reality TV is cheap enough that cheap commercial spots can yield a profit.

  • comparen el trailer de Alien (1979) con Prometheus (2012). El trailer de Prometheus es un homenaje.
