1979 was a year for some brilliant horror films, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?
Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 1979 is...
Alien - Ridley Scott
The ULTIMATE in sci-fi monster horror, which has never been equaled in my opinion. H. R. Giger's Alien interpretation, coupled with the pure claustrophobic terror that this film exhibits makes
Alien the stand out horror film from 1979, for me.
