The untold origin story behind Ridley Scott's 'Alien' - rooted in Greek and Egyptian mythologies, underground comics, the art of Francis Bacon, and the dark visions of Dan O'Bannon and H.R. Giger. A contemplation on the symbiotic collaborative process of movie-making, the power of myth, and our collective unconscious.

Tim Boxell: The Midwest may seem tranquil and civilized and so forth, but the fact is, you never know who's next door. You never know who's going to roll into town, you know, when the wheels are going to come off. It's like we're all, you know, one cough, one kiss, one scratch away from global disaster.

Would have been a 10 star without the ludicrous digression

I found this documentary quite well made and interesting. Different critical methods were used to examine the story - from psychological to historical. I found the connection made between the creature and Francis Bacon figures especially salient. If you can get over the 5 minutes or so of ridiculous toxic masculinity at the 1:06 mark, you will likely enjoy this film, and appreciate the insights into deeper motivations of the writer, director and the amazing H. R. Giger, without whom Alien wouldn't be the timeless nightmare that it has become.
