Aliens & pre-determinism drawing a man back to Catholicism was always an interesting plot line, to me.

I think he was Episcopalian, since he was married, but yeah.

I was pretty young and alone in a strange city in a hotel when I first watched it. The alien on the roof jump scare made me nearly shit myself.

They were best before they were clearly on screen, the tension was built so perfectly in that film it’s incredible. The home movie clip from the birthday party is still, to me, one of the most startling scenes in any film, ever.

It's so good. It's a really good suspense movie, which kind of don't exist anymore. Suspense being a very different species, but the same genus, as horror.

I really do think there’s a sensory deprivation factor at work - people don’t have the patience, they want more, faster, more shocking, more violent. Suspenseful films now are seemingly often criticized as “slow” or “boring” or “pretentious”

The people, as per usual, don't know what they want. I think the genre will resurface- as studios realize there's an under-served market.

I hope so. Now that everything is a rip of Paranormal Activity (which I thought was terrifying & effective the first time) or an uninteresting & disturbing gorefest, there’s not much out there worth watching in this genre.

If the director really doesn't get it, then film a "horror" movie and excise all scenes offering the slightest cognitive relaxation in the editing phase. ...

Turns out Ethos, Pathos, Logos are actually hard-coded and mean something.
