"If the genre template for Ridley Scott's original Alien was the slasher film- Cameron's was the zombie film. Alien was about a group of people being picked off one by one- but Aliens is basically a fortress siege movie- like Night of the Living Dead. Swap welding torches for boards and nails and it's essentially the same strategic problem. Tempo is the main difference- the speed at which the creatures move."
