Alien Predators (1987)

The young American tourists in Spain encounter lethal alien lifeforms that were brought to Earth by Apollo 14 then tested on animals aboard SkyLab.But SkyLab has now crashed to Earth and the aliens have survived,infect the locals and messily killing them.The trio of young people pick up a NASA scientist who has to get an antidote to a nearby laboratory."Alien Predator" was one of the very first horror films I have seen as the kid.That's why I can't give it a negative rating,even though the pace is lethargic and the gore is kept to minimum.However the film is suitably dark and atmospheric and offers a few creepy moments.The acting is decent and the characters are likeable.6 out of 10.

Amazing that actors that had appeared in such huge films wound up in this garbage.I like bad SciFi. This was dull and boring SciFi. Very different, not interesting.Also, Martin is one of the most beautiful men to ever be put in film.Why a film maker would have someone with his physical appeal in a movie and not exploit it, even just a little bit, is so beyond me.Similar problem with Yellowbeard. Martin is a PIRATE! is tied to a chair. Is on a ship. But is never shown shirtless.Though some promotional photos did show him shirtless.It makes you wish David Decouteau was in charge of all of these movies.There is a director who knows how to make use of a pretty male.

Very nearly the, if not THE worst film I've ever seen. I got it by mistake; it was supposed to be AvP, but some idiot screwed up. Most bad movies at least partly redeem themselves, if only by achieving "so bad it's good" status. Not this one. The acting is stilted and the plot frequently makes no sense at all. Samantha is a totally insufferable bimbo and Damon and Michael are only marginally better. I don't recall it ever being revealed just what the three of them were doing driving around Spain in the middle of the night anyway, or what is the significance of the (apparently) Indian family whose fate was so terrible we weren't even allowed a peek at their bodies. I can't tell you what the monster really looks like, because I was only allowed tiny glimpses of it, not even enough to try to guess its species, never mind being afraid of it.Bottom line is, they just shouldn't have bothered.Bernie

ALIEN PREDATOR (1987) **1/2 (out of 4*'s) Director: Deran Sarafian. Dennis Christopher, Lynn Holly Johnson, Martin Hewitt.Alien microbes taken from the moon are tampered with on a skylab which suddenly re-enters earth's atmosphere and crash lands in Duarte, Spain spreading an alien virus amongst humans and animals living in the nearby area. Three americans tour through the area just in time to catch all of the terror.I can understand why people would have a problem. You have to have a real edge for campy films in order to enjoy this. I liked it! I do however wanted to see more of the aliens and what they were like. They only appear twice at the end!!!Shot in Spain in 1984. Also known as THE FALLING, MUTANT 2 (U.K.), COSMOS MORTAL (Spain), ALIEN PREDATORS (U.S. Video Box Art Title)
