In much the same way as Ridley Scott’s film kept its acid-spilling xenomorph hidden in the shadows for the most part, its accompanying poster shows you next to nothing but leaves you feeling everything. The brooding atmospherics accurately evoke the tension and suspense the film conjures so successfully and the sickly green spilling from the egg hints at the menace inside. So effectively does it do this, in fact, that it almost eclipses one of the best taglines in movie history: ‘In space no one can hear you scream!’ A resounding triumph of the less is more philosophy.
