Horror in the Caves: Alien

Director
Ridley Scott
Certificate
15
Running Time
116 mins

Ridley Scott‘s original Alien flick from 1979 makes a welcome return to the big screen to re-acquaint us with Sigourney Weaver‘s Ripley – one of cinema’s greatest heroines – and HR Giger‘s drooling xenomorph – one of cinema’s greatest monsters. Watch it again and pretend that everything after Aliens never happened.

It’s back on screen as part of Bristol Film Festival’s ever-popular Halloween Horror in the Caves season down below in spooky ol’ Redcliffe Caves. Go here for more info and to book tickets.
