Alien: A Freudian Nightmare



Famously pitched as "Jaws in space”, you don’t need a PhD in psychology  to realise that the original 1979 Alien movie has much deeper waters than that. This great article in Sabotage Times spells it out in words even I can understand. Maybe the line should have been ‘in space, no one can hear you… dream’? Hmmm, I guess that’s my Hollywood copywriting career over before it started.
