Alien is a haunted house movie in space. Brilliantly done and has stood the test of time so well but The Thing is something else entirely.

We STILL don't know the ending of The Thing and throughout the film you haven't got a clue who is next, what the frig they will turn into or what the hell The Thing is in the first place. In Alien we eventually see what it is that's stalking and who is next.

I think that the production values and assured direction by Scott gives the film much more kudos than it deserves.

Alien 7
The Thing 7

unless I have got my figures wrong.
