"Cheap" is a word that seems to carry a connotation of poor quality. So replace that word in your rebuttal with the word "inexpensive".
Inexpensive horror films.
Alien doesn't do inexpensive.
Well for Alien fans, they better bloody well better, because otherwise at this declining rate, Alien films will be a thing of the past (unless they plan on bringing Sigourney Weaver back).
