It does lend itself to the Gothic at times, doesn't it? This is perhaps why it's my favourite installment of the franchise. I do like all of the films in the franchise (barring the post-
Resurrection pish that is).
Aliens is decent but suffers a little from '
Dawn of the Dead' syndrome where it is essentially an action film with some horror chucked in.
Alien 3 is probably my second favourite despite the flaws and I never understood the hate for
Resurrection. It toys with some interesting ideas, plus has a great cast and some nice set pieces.
Also, the original
Alien remains one of my all-time favourite cinema going experiences when I managed to catch it on a re-release in the early 2000s.
