Alien & Aliens Double Feature

The Loft Movie Theatre is excited to present a very special double-bill screening of Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror classic, Alien, and James Cameron’s 1986 sequel, Aliens.

Alien

"In space no one can hear you scream."

When the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo receive an SOS signal from an uncharted planet, the ensuing exploration leads to the discovery of a mysterious derelict spacecraft... and something else - a seemingly indestructible alien force, determined to kill them all.

With an ensemble cast including Sigourney Weaver, John Hurt, Harry Dean Stanton and Ian Holm, and the astounding H. R. Giger-designed titular creature, Ridley Scott's Alien is a masterwork of claustrophobia, dread and all-out horror.

Aliens

"This Time It's War"

After being adrift in space for 57 years, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is rescued by a salvage team and returns home, where she learns - to her horror - that the planet where her crew first discovered the alien has since been colonised. Contact with the colony is suddenly lost, and a detachment of marines is sent to investigate with Ripley in tow. Her worst fears are realised as the marines discover the colony has been infested by a horde of aliens, leaving only one survivor.

James Cameron's 1986 sequel is a rollercoaster ride of suspense and terror, with spectacular special effects and fast-paced action.
