I’ve loved Giger’s art for a long time but having watched this film, I can safely say my love for this stands tall above most things Giger has put out. The way suspense is built, terror is brought, horror is inflicted; shots are composed and themes like the expendability of workers, and if it is worth it to try to save a life when it’ll put others’ in jeopardy; it’s all brilliant! Coming back to Giger, I think Alien really shows it’s not his command of light and shadows or masterful compositions which shine in his art but his ideas and concepts. All of this, in my mind has cemented Giger as arguably the most prolific concept artist of the 20th century.
