"In space, no one can hear you scream."

As one of – if not the – greatest action heroines to ever hit the silver screen, Sigourney Weaver’s unstoppable Ellen Ripley kicks all the asses and takes all the names throughout one of the most iconic action films of all time, Ridley Scott’s ALIEN. As such, our chests are literally bursting with excitement as we toast International Women's Day on March 8 with a Friday Late Night movie screening of one of our favourite action/horror/sci-fi movies (and favourite heroines!).

In this modern horror classic set in deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.... Also starring Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton, and Veronica Cartwright.

"The first part of the movie is essentially Marx in space, and the second part of the movie is Darwin in space." (The Stranger)

"Seen again a quarter-century later, we marvel at how the filmmaker generates so much tension and sweat with a bare minimum of moving parts." (Globe and Mail)
