...Grigorenko [June 4] was considered insane by Soviet psychiatrists? Every society sets its own standards for "normalcy," and anyone who deviates is sick.

Alien might just as well be about a huge scorpion loose in a haunted house, circa 1953. While the murder sequences are executed with all the realism money can currently buy, the innocence that ignited vintage horror films is missing. Alien's steely, literal-minded approach to violence more often recalls last summer's joyless Jaws...
