side note: the xenomorph from Alien and its lifecycle are quite similar to very dangerous zombies, but in today's thinking-about-epidemiology-a-lot world, I want to note how the first Alien (and only the first) bothered to remember instant death = less long term threat

(But I think the original film is more effective without this detail, like whether you like the existence of the Queen in the sequel or not, it makes the first movie stronger to have "Where the hell do these things COME FROM" a big mystery)

Part of what's so effective about the original theatrical film is that it's not even clear what the Alien is doing to its victims. We know it's not good, but we don't actually see it. Killing them is only one possibility, and not necessarily the worst one...
