I remember reading the movie's Rotten Tomatoes page and there was a little forum at the bottom and even the farthest-gone horror fans were like "This is the worst movie I've ever seen"-- apparently it begins with an alien killing dozens of birthing mothers and their newborn babies in bloody detail-- I seriously never want to meet anyone who has a movie like that sitting on their shelf

I know it is strange to say this but I don't think that is really the point (after all the best horror movies are transgressive) - it is more the way it is handled. From what I have read it is the way the film does not particularly play by the rules of the previous Alien films (this guy explains it better than I could - or would want to!)domino harvey wrote:apparently it begins with an alien killing dozens of birthing mothers and their newborn babies in bloody detail-- I seriously never want to meet anyone who has a movie like that sitting on their shelf
This is probably why Paul WS Anderson continues to make films - he might usually make terrible rip offs but then even they get sequelized in such a poor way that I strangely end up feeling nostalgic for the first Resident Evil or the first Alien Vs Predator film!
But back on topic, here is a report from the Alien Love Triangle premiere!
