Aka: Alien: The Director's Cut
When a mining ship lands on a planet to investigate upon a suspected SOS, the entire crew are unaware of the terror which they would unleash upon their ship. When a alien life-form attach's itself to the face of a crew member, the rest of the team act fast to try and separate the two organisms. Unbeknownst to everyone, this is the start of the terror which would affect every member of the seven person crew.
Director Ridley Scott's breakthough film, an immensely successful blend of horror and science fiction, is a classic in both genres and spawned a host of sequels and imitators.

Giger. The top-notch cast also includes Veronica Cartwright, Yaphet Kotto, and Harry Dean Stanton.

Ever since Prometheus was first announced, there has been some confusion as to just how connected it is to Ridley Scott ’s earlier journey into space, Alien . According to Scott himself, “ Alien was indeed the jumping off point for this project,” and the director would go on to explain that, “the keen fan will recognise strands of Alien ’s DNA.” However, those hints appeared to be contradicted by writer Damon Lindelof , who was keen to stress the originality of the film as a standalone piece. “I....
