In honor of Alien Day, here's how the franchise stacks up.
In 1979, director Ridley Scott and writer Dan O'Bannon changed the face of horror and science fiction forever with their paranoia-driven isolationist masterpiece Alien. More than 40 years later, films still attempt to capture the magic of the film, which included Ridley Scott returning to the franchise most recently with Alien: Covenant in 2017.
8) AVP: Alien vs. Predator Combining the Alien films with the Predator films and including Lance Henriksen into the adventure seemed like a surefire success, didn't it? Considering that all previous installments in either franchise were R-rated, this PG-13 installment featured watered-down violence, characters, and CGI effects. The film did the best it could when it came to figuring out a story that combined the franchises , but the film mostly flopped.
prevnext 5) Alien: Resurrection Considering the fate of Ripley in the previous film, Resurrection already had the cards stacked against it. Far from being outer space horror, this installment aimed to recreate the action and adventure of Aliens, while also injecting more humor and campiness than had been seen in any of the other films.
