The horror of "Alien", is the design by G R Giger. The eggs are like the pods from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", (Phillip Kaufman, 1978, remake); the intermittent music score by Jerry Goldsmith; the whole nightmare that the characters face; and the movie's infamous tag line: "In space no one can hear you scream".
***
During the famous "Dinner scene", Kane hasn't got the 'face-hugger' on his face. He seems well; he can smile at the crew; he sits down on his seat. Suddenly, as he attempts to eat, he screams, and lies down in the middle of the huge table and chairs. Then, to everyone's shock, a little alien bursts out of his chest, then scurries away into the dark recesses of the ship itself. The crew then know that Kane was the victim of the alien, and the terror resumes.
