A legendary fusion of science fiction and horror, Alien (1979) is
one of the most enduring modern myths of cinema - its famously
visceral scenes acting like a traumatic wound we seem compelled to
revisit. Tracing the constellation of talents that came together to
produce the film, Roger Luckhurst examines its origins as a monster
movie script called Star Beast, dismissed by many in Hollywood as
B-movie trash, through to its afterlife in numerous sequels,
prequels and elaborations. Exploring the ways in which Alien
compels us to think about otherness, Luckhurst demonstrates how and
why this interstellar slasher movie, this old dark house in space,
came to coil itself around our darkest imaginings about the
fragility of humanity. This special edition features original cover
artwork by Marta Lech.
