Alien Hunter isn't that bad, it obviously rips its best bits out of other movies and has only a couple of genuinely interesting ideas neither of which come to much. I totally agree with this movies current rating, a 5 seems fair as it has nothing new to show you but it's not terrible either.
James Spader is not ideally cast but convinces as a brilliant young scientist and even Worldwide FX's CGI shows a bit more care than usual. At the other end of the scale is John Lynch's obnoxious character and performance, both of which are right out of Bad Movie 101. Viewing Source: Web

Before he made GoldenEye (1995), Casino Royale (2006), and Green Lantern (2011), Martin Campbell madeNo Escape, which is like Lord Of The Flies but with prisoners instead of sadistic rich kids. Ray Liotta stars as a disgraced ex-marine (he was jailed for not following orders) who winds up on a prison island full of bloodthirsty inmates. By fair mea...
Alien parasites take over the brains of a small American town in this low-budget adaptation of Robert Heinlein’s 1951 novel. By the time it came out, the paranoid themes had already been thoroughly established in cinema by the likes of the Body Snatchers movies – even though Heinlein’s story predated them by several years. Unfortunately, The Puppet...
What’s more terrifying than a werewolf? Why, a cyborg werewolf, of course. The US military, in a misguided attempt to create the perfect, hairy soldier, capture a werewolf and turn it into a bullet-proof monstrosity. The thing then breaks its bonds and rampages through a science facility, with gory results. A kind of lycanthropic take on Universal ...
One of the more obscure attempts to bring a Philip K Dick story to the screen (his short tale Second Variety), Screamers has all the hallmarks of a cracking cult film. RoboCop’s Peter Weller stars as a future soldier on a planet overrun by a race of artificially intelligent robots – the Screamers of the title – in a story adapted by the late Dan O’...
Before Keanu Reeves hit box-office gold with the Matrix trilogy, he starred in this quintessentially ’90s adaptation of William Gibson’s novel. Reeves plays the title character, a futuristic courier who delivers sensitive information for his corporate clients. Johnny soon finds himself a target for a group of assassins after the data stored in his ...
For our money, this is one of the very best films to emerge in the wake of the VR flap that kicked off in the 90s. Rather than get bogged down in showy special effects, as The Lawnmower Man did, Strange Daysis smart enough to focus instead on the psychological implications of future technology. In this case, it’s a device called a Squid, which allo...
Some comic book fans were horrified by the way director Rachel Talalay adapted Jamie Hewlett’s Tank Girl, and a broader audience didn’t exactly flock to see it, either. ButTank Girlcaptures the grungy spirit of the early-to-mid 90s, with its rock soundtrack, crazy camera angles and dialled-up performances making the film feel more like a $25m indie...
John Carpenter worked wonders with 1982‘s The Thing – a new version of John W Campbell’s story Who Goes There, previously adapted by Christian Nyby and Howard Hawks. Carpenter tackles John Wyndham’s The Midwich Cuckoos (previously adapted by as Village Of The Damnedin 1960) here, with far less convincing results. Moving the story to the usual small...
This mix of sci-fi and serial killer thriller is even more curious than it sounds. Russell Crowe plays SID, a Max Headroom-like artificial intelligence – an amalgam of all the evil people who’ve ever lived, or something – who manages to escape from the virtual realm and starts killing people in our own. Denzel Washington plays the cop charged with ...
Another film from director David Twohy, who also wrote the script. It’s a conspiracy thriller about Charlie Sheen’s astronomer, who captures alien radio signals and is then embroiled in an attempt to cover up the discovery. It’s an especially good performance from Sheen as the awkward, geeky protagonist, and Twohy’s clever story takes in climate ch...

Yes it's bad, the dialogue isn't the best and some of the acting isn't great BUT... It doesn't feel like some narcissistic project despite being written, directed, shot and edited all by one person. It feels like someone with no budget legitimately having fun trying to make a horror film.
