The art of suspense and horror has been lost because most viewers' attention spans are so short they make DEI careers look like they have solid job security.Eughhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Remember how the original alien film is so simple, so quaint? The scariest moment in the film is a fucking jazz-hands surprise by the Alien.
Now there's shitloads of facehuggers running about, explosions galore, people running around with not-Pulserifles, and so on.
Either go full Aliens where humans are gunning them down while getting torn to pieces themselves, or go full Alien and make it simple, low budget and full of subtleties.
These movies feel like they're generated by AI at this point, no charm, just 'hey guys remember the FACEHUGGER!?'
NO SHIT I REMEMBER THE FACEHUGGER, ITS BEEN IN LIKE TWENTY GAMES BY THIS POINT AND EVEN MORE COMICS.
The game's invulnerable alien is more because if you killed it, well...Game would kinda spoil the surprise that there are in fact MORE aliens onboard. 9mm AP rounds can put one down with enough hits to the head, they're tough but not bulletproof.
Yes, that especially includes American, and by extension Western like in the UK, audiences and movie-goers.
Ironically, it's why a lot of gamers love Alien: Isolation -- even on replays where you know what's going to happen in scripted events, the gameplay itself is random and suspenseful. Gamers love it.
