The shower scene in Psycho isn't a surprise to anyone now, but it still has impact because they build to it. Same here, I saw Aliens before I saw Alien, because I was ten when Aliens came out and saw it on video. Then I saw Alien and had already heard about the mess hall scene. Why it works for me is that scene has emotional weight because they have spent time getting to know the characters, and you know it is coming so there is this dreadful build up where you don't want it to happen</p></blockquote><p></p>
