It's so impressive to me how Alien and Aliens are both really good horror movies that are equally incredibly tense/scary, but in practically the exact opposite ways. And ah man they really both hold up so well for being pretty old movies 🥺

#but okay like what i mean in opposite ways. ex:#like aliens is much more of an action movie and alien is a lot more of a thriller #but both are super scary despite aliens being way more campy and over the top #in alien theres only one xenomorph but in aliens theres basically unlimited xenos #<- yet its equally tense #i love how in alien its a very enclosed space and theyre being stalked and hunted by the xeno and getting picked off #and in aliens its basically a battle btwn them #and yet both make me wanna hide my eyes behind my hands #and in aliens they actually are able to kill the xenomorphs but it doesnt remove any tension #ig i thought i remembered Alien being scarier but i just rewatched Aliens and god. so tense #tho i still think i prefer the vibe in Alien. the tension is so well done and claustrophobic #but Aliens is so quotable i love it so much. rewatching it made me realize how much i quote it lmfao #'game over!!! game over man!!!' <- constant.#but ig the easiest way to describe the differences btwn the two is that +#the xeno in Alien is a character of its own and the ones in Aliens are just a force of their own. if that makes sense?#anyways. great movies my absolute favs :)#but ig its crazy to be how i cant rly watch Predator(which is from the yr after Aliens) bcs it feels too dated for me #and i watch alien and aliens and its like wow these are from 30+ years ago?????#i think my two closest friends have never seen either sob sob #i really need to force them to watch them bcs to me they are the best horror movies of all time. actually. >:)#*oh also i think Alien Isolation is soooooo fucking good. such an underrated horror game #<- not that i could ever play it myself cause id die #but it does the original movies justice so well. maybe even scarier sometimes 😭 just cause youre the one being hunted #catie.rambling.txt
