Honestly, though I love
Alien the **** to death, I think the rubber suit can be a bit not-so-great at times whenever you see more than just the head (the head is quite possibly the high watermark of all horror though). That jumpscare in the vents honestly looks kinda goofy even if the entire rest of the scene was ace. A CGI alien would have been far worse, but the rubber suit still wasn't perfect.
And while the second half is slasher movie nirvana most of the time, it's still a bit more generic than the first half of the movie up till the chestburster scene. From second one till after that thing runs off screen is like the best sci-fi movie ever though, with the ultimate, can never be topped expression of what can happen when unsuspecting explorers encounter secretly hostile alien life on an uncharted planet. But if I didn't have the first half to compare the second half to I probably wouldn't have the slightest problem with it beyond that suit kinda sorta.
