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

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...

Yeah the rapey implications aren't at all subtle and they're kind of the whole point, and that's why the point gets lost when you go from a creeping-through-corridors slasher into a big military battle in Aliens
