10 Best Horror Movies For Virgins
5. Alien
In the spirit of trying to cover as many horror boxes as possible, it's only right and fair to venture up into the terrors and traumas of the stars. And in that regard, it would seem wrong to recommend anything other than Ridley Scott's Alien.
Sure, the Alien franchise may have been a hugely mixed bag since James Cameron's 1986 Aliens, but those first two films were utterly perfect. While Aliens has more of an action sci-fi leaning to it, 1979's Alien is sheer, unbridled sci-fi horror - and it is absolutely marvellous!
Not only did Alien launch one of the famous franchises and one of the most famous antagonists in the game, but it also showcased how to perfectly encapsulate the claustrophobic dread of being out of your element, with a unknown assailant stalking you at your every turn.
Like some of the other films featured here, Alien is yet again another example of how less is so often more in the horror genre. Tight corners, darkened lights, low ceilings, and next level practical SFX work made Alien instantly jump out from the pack, and the film still remains just as impactful today as it did upon first hitting the silver screen over 40 years ago.
