The alien saga is an exceptionally great series and all 4 of them can be found in one nifty collection along with a bonus video alien lagecy. the movies show how directors can take different angles on about the same subject. the first movie is very suspenseful whereas the second is tip of you chair excitement all the way through. the third and 4th ones i believe plot was sacraficed for special effects, but what do we see these movies for anyway? the plots don't really make sense most of the time, its all about the spectacular graphics. i'd highly recommend this to any alien saga fan or any sci fi fanatic in general.

When I ordered this item I thought that it would be "the alien movies"(alien,aliens,alien 3, and alien 4) but when I received this package by mail my only disappointment was that it was not the package I thought it was. However I did receive the item early and the item was in perfect condition and I will order again from Amazon.com.

Don't be misled: this is not the Sigourney Weaver "Alien" movies. It's a seven tape boxed set of cheesy 1950's and 60's black and white low budget sci-fi films that will only be of interest to someone who collections unknown films of this type. The acting, photography and editing are all third rate. The titles are: "The Slime People", "The Arrival", "Alien Contamination","Creature","Star Knight","Abraxas" and "Day Of The Triffids" with "Triffids" being the only one making it to second rate. Seriously, don't waste your money unless you are into this kind of film. Frank Zappa without a doubt wrote the song "Cheepnis" about these movies! :-)
