Both the Alien and Predator franchises were already in desperate enough places to mash themselves together; AVP: R AVP’s missteps were supposed to be a corrective measure, but instead it basically made everything worse. The return of the “R” rating resulted in excessive gore and horror – which was barely recognizable, thanks to the eerie lighting and visuals from director “The Brothers Strauss”. AVP: R He even managed to lose the only cool distinction he had: the Predator Xenomorph — aka “Pradalion.” Total failure in all respects.

hunter 2

hunter 2 There’s a piece of pure 1990s gritty action movie nostalgia, just so it happens that it also has a predator. The “near-future” film’s vision of 1997’s Los Angeles as a gang-warfare hell with skyrocketing temperatures was certainly ahead of its time.

However, when things turn into a horror-survival tale in the second act, John McTiernan’s film turns into something really special.

Using a monster concept and visual effects completely unseen at the time, Cruel Every tough guy was looking over his shoulder afterward—not to mention spawning a franchise that ends nearly 35 years later. The film lives on today and is infinitely watchable, so it remains king with little threat to its crown.
