It's the same isolated feeling of being alone and without help like The Thing and The Hills Have Eyes (albeit you could try to run away into the desert/mountains but that's equal chance of death). We all agree though that Alien is horror then sci-fi. I imagine the next Ripley would be from Aliens to go with the power-loader they're releasing, I hope that one comes with another Jonesy because you really can never have too many Jonesy figures.
