Alien, 1979, starring Sigourney Weaver, John Hurt, Tom Skerritt, and Veronica Cartwright. 

Starting with a slow-paced beginning, Alien shows us a crew in space waking up to explore a seemingly isolated planet. What they unknowingly bring back with them onto their ship is beyond what any of them ever imagined.

Though it is slow-paced, Alien brings to us a sense of tension, our patience thin, eagerly waiting for something to happen. About halfway through is when the terror begins. The first attack is so unexpected you can't help but jump. The genuine screams and yells from the characters were perfect! As the movie continues, the suspense is still there, and the crew is attacked one-by-one until one member is left to fight off the ugly, menacing creature! 8/10.
