Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- It is implied Ripley is naked in a scenebut only her legs and head are shown.
- There is an attempted rape but it is stopped before anything happens.
- A dead female child is uncovered in a morgue, with her bare chest and genitals. It is only shown from a low distance angle.
- A woman is told several times that she should stay away from male prisoners, Implying the risk of sexual assault.
Violence & Gore
-
- Violent and features lots of grisly deaths with moderate blood. The tone of the movie is also quite bleak.
- A man is shot in the leg.
- Many deaths throughout.
- One man stabs another, and blood is visible.
- Threat of rape in more than one scene.
- A man jumps back and accidentally rolls down a shaft into a huge fan and is chopped up. Tons of gore and blood spews EVERYWHERE. We later see all of the gore all over the shaft.
- A man's head is snapped backwards by an alien and blood splatters all over another man's face.
- There is a graphic scene where a dog has an alien inside of it. It starts to bark and writhe and cry and then the alien explodes out of its stomach. This is extremely graphic and disturbing as some of the organs disgustingly slide off of the aliens face. There is blood and guts all over the ground in this scene. VERY GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING.
- The extended edition (the Assembly Cut) is rather gory with violent and at times gruesome death scenes that feature blood spurts and gore. The theatrical version however is more moderate in violence with fewer blood spurts and offscreen deaths.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Some may find the autopsy of Newt disturbing. There is a very brief closeup of her dead eyes, and a graphic sound effect of breaking bone as her chest is cut open. While there is no visible gore, it strongly suggests through dialogue and sound effects what's happening.
- A Chestbuster busts out of the chest of a cow.
- A man is chopped to pieces the aftermath shows a bloody boot and lots of blood splattered everywhere
- Several jump scares.
- A woman is threatened with rape by a group of prisoners.
- Pervasive threat of rape and murder of women throughout the entire movie.
- The menacing and inhumane appearance/behaviour of the alien makes the film very intense and frightening.
- There are many scary scenes where the alien attacks characters and chases them through the dark prison corridors.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- It's implied that Ripley and Clemens have a sexual relationship. They're seen mostly clothed in bed together while Clemens is redressing himself and adjusting his clothes.
- In one scene the alien is gyrating like it is having sex with a victim but when the camera moves closer it is more obvious it is only eating or attacking it.
Violence & Gore
- In one scene an alien begins attacking the prisoners and makes a hole in Clemens forehead, a hole is seen but no blood whatsoever.
- In one short running scene a prisoner is working in a ventilation shaft and an alien shoots a hole in Murphy's head, blood can be seen but is nearly impossible to see. He screams and falls into a fan. Blood is seen but the scene ends though later in the film when Clemons is investigating the blood is briefly seen.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The fact that Ripley has an alien inside her and she wants to die makes this movie very emotional and will probably upset many viewers. However, despite the emotional and disturbing tone to this, it also conveys a very positive message about courage and self-sacrifice.
- There is a scene where Ripley falls into molten steel with arms outstretched as a religious metaphor to Christ's suffering and martyrdom.
