The Alien series is really very good, especially the first, which is the only one that I would consider to be an actual horror film. And yes, the line between horror and science fiction isn't nearly as clear as some may think. Good SF is often very dark.

Anyway, I think that horror in general is starting to recover. For nearly an entire decade (the 90s) there was very little on the horror radar except for an endless cycle of self-aware teen slashers. Filmmakers are definitely starting to make more serious horror again.
