"Alien is a sci fi thriller for me. It becomes more obvious that its basis is not horror as you go through the franchise.
Again, you can have scary elements, but what is the basic premise of the story? It's about mankind running into something in space and the corporate greed that leads to most of the crew dying- it's almost more cyberpunk in that respect than anything.
Here's part of it for me: Jaws makes you afraid to go swimming, because a shark might eat you. Psycho made you worried you might get killed in a shower by a guy who thinks he's his mom in a weird hotel somewhere. Freddy makes you afraid to go to sleep. Jason makes you afraid to be the sexually-active teenage counselor out in the woods
Alien makes you.....not want to investigate derelict spaceships you find while tugging a huge platform across space? Sure, it has scary elements, but any of the former I deal with on a semi-regular basis. I don't even have a chance to fly on a space tug, let alone run into derelict spaceships. I blame your generation for this: you haven't even gotten me flying cars yet and Bladerunner takes place next year. Where's my spinner?" |

I forgot about the part where he uses the SEQUELS being more action oriented to justify the original not being horror. YEESH |  |

His argument is so bad... because he will never be in space Alien isn't a horror movie. | |

Penner's feedback:

Vlady for sure. He is genuinely one of the smarter people on the forum (when he did frequent here) and then have such a dumb take and then just not letting it go was very out of place for him. |
