Okay, James Cameron's Aliens isn't technically labeled a horror film; however, the sequel to Alien delivers some of the most frightening encounters with a non-human species in film history. the film embodies the essence of horror and deserves the moniker in my opinion. Aliens earned seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress for Sigourney Weaver.
After surviving her encounter with the Xenomoprh species in Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien, Ellen Ripley is asked to accompany a colonial marine unit to the planet LV-426 to investigate a downed communications issue. The situation on the ground is vastly different. The colonists discovered the derelict alien ship, brought back specimens, however in inadvertently, which created a chain reaction of events leading to their demise.
The Colonial Marines are soon overwhelmed by the Xonomorphs. Ripley finds herself in a dire position: lead the surviving Marines and a child named Newt or suffer the other's grisly fate.
The aliens are expertly deployed in the most claustrophobic of spaces: tight corridors, air ducts, and sewers. The first film established their near-invulnerable physical properties while Aliens gives audiences a nightmarish scenario of aliens outnumbering humans thus becoming a hopeless force to encounter.
Why should I see it?
A must watch for sci-fi, thriller and horror fans. Before James Cameron gave us Titanic and Avatar this was his calling card. Aliens is regarding as the best sequel of all-time and rightfully so. It takes what Ridley Scott made and expands the mythos of the creature while retaining its horrific aspects. Watch this movie on a big screen TV with the volume cranked up high.
