Atmospheric horror movie recommendations are welcome.

Aliens.
Been about 20 years since I last seen it. Movie hasn't aged one bit. The last 30-40 minutes might be the most intense and exciting white knuckle **** in Sci-Fi history.

Two completely different movie experiences. Both 5 stars in my book. Alien was a complete and total mind **** when it first came out.
Knowing that Aliens was being made had everyone wondering where they'd take the premise. I think they nailed a perfect sequel to the first movie. Very much like Terminator and Terminator 2.

Also, Aliens is a great action movie with some of the best, if not the best special effects done without cgi. Has great acting, memorable characters, is a popculture icon. It's also a great sequel as it doesn't repeat the original story, but expands on it and changes the focus. I will bare knuckle fight anyone who disses Aliens. |

Aliens is awesome, but it still can't **** with the original. Sometimes overrated isn't actually an insult.
