Has anyone seen this movie? Lots of blood, alien life form, paranoia?

I've seen it, and it was spectacular. It didn't do well when it was released back in the day, due to 2 things.

A different, more peaceful alien named "ET" was released at the same time.
And people were not ready for the gore.


Anyone else seen it?

why wouldnt they be ready for the gore?
theres been worse films out that came out before it(seems like one is called last house on the right, or left or someting.)
and then they had the night of the living dead, and the other zombie movies...

anyways, i rented this one a year or two ago, and i thought it was pretty good
the reason there was so much gore was because it was from john carpenter.
I loved the part with blood tests. best part in the movie...

Here is a terrific site about it, Outpost 31

Tons of stuff.


And man, the blood test....totally awesome.

The game is pretty cool too, lots of supense, tense moments, etc. Actually, looking at the game on gamespot made me want to go see it.
