I do like the genre, and I would definitely watch it again, but I wouldn't put it up there with my favourite movies. <img src="http://tecnocode.co.uk/images/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" /> I think it was only a disappointment as I'd heard things like what you say (that it's a masterpiece), and was expecting great things, only to be let down by the fact that I think horror movies of that fear-factor are a lot more commonplace now, and so we've got used to them and the older, pioneering ones are less effective now.

A DISAPPOINTMENT???? It's a masterpiece of the science-fiction-suspense-genre. Almost perfect. Not a "serious european movie", of course, and I wouldn't show it to my cultured uncle. But if you like this kind of genre (otherwise you wouldn't have watcht it?), and didn't liked Alien, we haven't seen the same movie. Alien? A DISAPPOINTMENT????

Anyway, I wanted to try Fedora instead of a Debian-based distro this time. <img src="http://tecnocode.co.uk/images/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" /> "The boot.iso kernel crashed when loading the drivers for the PCMCIA network card"
