Oliver, you rule out Alien and its ilk on the grounds that the script is sparse and 'vacant'. Surely it's plain to see that (or not, if you haven't seen it) Aien is all about tension and atmosphere? If it had reams of dialogue it'd be blown completely.
In fact, for such a film, saying you've not seen the film but have read the script is like saying you've not listened to 'Brown Sugar' by The Rolling Stones but you have analysed the arrangement. In other words, perhaps you've missed the point?
