Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
When two legendary sci-fi titans collide, chaos reigns supreme. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), directed by the Strause brothers, takes the high-stakes battle between the Xenomorphs and the Predators to a whole new level. Darker, bloodier, and more relentless than its predecessor, this film unleashes terror on Earth as the battle for supremacy spills into the streets of a small Colorado town.
The film picks up immediately after the events of Alien vs. Predator (2004), with a Predator spaceship crash-landing near a small, unsuspecting town. Out of the wreckage emerges a horrifying new hybrid—dubbed the “Predalien”—a deadly combination of Xenomorph and Predator DNA. As the alien threat spreads, a lone Predator arrives on Earth to hunt down the Xenomorphs and contain the chaos.
Caught in the crossfire are the town’s residents, including ex-convict Dallas (Steven Pasquale), his younger brother Ricky (Johnny Lewis), and a group of others trying to survive the unfolding nightmare. With humanity caught between the two warring species, survival becomes the ultimate goal as the body count rises and the stakes reach catastrophic levels.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem dials up the gore and intensity, delivering non-stop action that blends science fiction with horror. The film’s darker tone and grittier atmosphere set it apart from its predecessor, leaning heavily into the franchise’s horror roots. The small-town setting adds a claustrophobic feel, turning familiar spaces—like hospitals, sewers, and suburban homes—into battlegrounds of terror.
The Predator’s methodical and brutal hunting tactics are juxtaposed against the Xenomorphs’ relentless ferocity, creating a nail-biting spectacle for fans of both franchises. The introduction of the Predalien adds a fresh layer of intrigue and danger, raising the stakes for everyone involved.
