Video with 7 notes

If this is not the scariest (or at least the most-haunting) movie trailer ever then I don’t know what else possibly could be.  This trailer somehow manages to capture the entire feel of “Alien” in less than 2 minutes.  The music, the scenes used in the trailer…all manage to present the viewer with the whole TONE of the film.  It is claustrophobic, it is terrifying, it is intense, and it is perfect.

I feel sorry for people who haven’t seen “Alien”.  Not only is it, arguably, the best of the series, but it is also a genuinely scary movie to watch.  No overwhelming gore, no comic amounts of blood.  Just an epic science fiction horror film that makes me feel anxious every single time I watch it, even though I know how it’s going to end.
