When you think of science fiction horror, you think of Alien. Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic single-handedly revitalised its genre after decades of B movie rubbish, while the design of its jet-black antagonist has permeated pop culture for more than four decades. To celebrate the legacy of sci-fi’s freakiest creation, Hammer’s ranked all nine Alien films so far from worst to best, from the game-changing original to Scott's own, controversial prequels over three decades later and the most recent entry into the franchise, Alien: Romulus.
You can watch the first eight Alien movies online via Disney+.
