ALIEN & ALIENS DOUBLE (M) present in 35mm

Alien & Aliens Double Feature - Revival House Perth Event Bio

Experience the perfect one-two punch of sci-fi cinema—Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece of claustrophobic horror followed by James Cameron's 1986 action-packed sequel. Two of the greatest films ever made, two completely different approaches, one unforgettable creature, and Sigourney Weaver becoming an icon across both.

Alien (5:00 PM) is pure dread. The crew of the commercial towing vessel Nostromo responds to a distress signal and brings something nightmarish aboard. Scott transforms a simple premise into masterful suspense, using H.R. Giger's biomechanical creature design and the ship's industrial corridors to create suffocating terror. This is the haunted house in space, where no one can hear you scream, and every shadow could hide death. The chestburster scene remains cinema's most shocking moment, while the xenomorph itself is a perfect killing machine brought to life through practical effects genius.

Aliens (7:40 PM) changes everything. Cameron keeps Ripley but trades horror for military action, sending her back with a squad of overconfident Colonial Marines to investigate a colony that's gone silent. What follows is relentless tension as Marines with big guns discover they're hilariously outmatched by hundreds of aliens. Weaver earned an Oscar nomination for her fierce performance as Ripley-turned-warrior, while the supporting cast (Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen) creates memorable marines facing impossible odds. The power loader vs. alien queen finale is pure cinema.

Two directors, two genres, one perfect double feature. This is how you spend a Saturday.
