Viewing Notes

I think I appreciated the flow of this film even more the second time around. I also noticed more similarities and tiny nods to ALIEN this time including the opening credits sequence and at least two pieces of music that were lifted directly from the ALIEN score. A few shots are also obviously done exactly the same as ALIEN.
