Which seems accurate from everything said so far.
This' more horrific to me than Alien ever was honestly, in a completely different way though, and it is in essence about body horror through transhumanism.
The Alien being the catalyst for that or intervening aspect, could be absolutely fantastic, like Cold Forge or Into Charybdis.
It's what I'd call conceptual horror, (Enigma of Amigara Fault, Legion FX in this example being having your body taken over and your personality changed unwillingly and Under the Skin) instead of adrenaline horror, (Alien and The Thing and Predator and Jaws) my favourites being where you mush the two together though, such as Silent Hill and Dead Space as big examples.
But I have always found the psychology stuff more scary than the monster chasing you part.
