I think for the younger generation though all the movies that basically 'copied' elements from Aliens would have desensitized them to it. It was truly intense for its time but I dont think the same horror works these days. Horror in general is a genre that is constantly evolving, but those damn facehuggers are still one of the more terrifying things I have ever seen in a movie, im pretty sure those would still make even the biggest horror fans skin crawl.
I would love to watch that movie in blue ray, the art direction was awesome.
Well, I was talking about Alien, but fair enough. The art direction is indeed incredible, and really shines in the Blu-Ray.
