Alien Predator

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.

As bad of a movie this is, it can still be viewed as a good (rainy)Saturday afternoon time-waster. There are far worse(halloween:resurrection)movies out there. I would recommend this to anyone who likes campy, b-grade, low-budget type films. A lot better than another piece of crap that I won't mention here(halloween:resurrection).

I was able to sit through the entire film, something I couldn't do for other B films. There were so many bad aspects of this film, like the overacting and the plot. The pros were some location shots of Spain, mid 1980's fashion and a great gas explosion so good they used it twice. As this was my first and last viewing of "Alien Predator" or "The Falling", I can say, I was hoping for a twisted ending. Like, the alien only hunts and kills bad actors paving the way for a new generation of super actors in B films- No Spoilers. Dennis Christopher as Damon was hyper irritating. Lynn-Holly Johnson's Samantha is beautiful, but reminded me of an anime come to life and Martin Hewitt's character, Michael, could have read his part from a script throughout this film, without affecting the viewing at all. Seriously, Hewitt could have had a script in each scene, reading his lines and if anything, it would have improved the movie. This film should be shown at all acting, directing and editing schools so that maybe, we'll get better B movies in the future.

Seen this as a kid in the 80s. NO one believed me there was a movie called Alien Preditors. Thought I was making it up. Thank god for google. Even though the kids who said I was full of crap will never read this Im just gonna say after all these years..Here it is. Suck it. Oh and the movie is cheesy as hell...I'd still watch it again and again though. Out of spite mostly now. Kids on vacation in Spain come across some old lab that fell from space that contained a little monster. It infects the locals and terror ensues. If you like monster,80s horror with a slice of science fiction thrown in, you'll love this movie. Has the 80s gore we all love and miss and just enough plot to follow but not enough to make too much sense.

The plot is a bit far-fetched, especially finding the three main characters were never infected despite having been in close contact with some many others that were, and badly dated. The characters are interesting but the actors were unseasoned and the performances were not worthy of Oscar contention. Some of the effects, both on-screen and on the soundtrack, were sometimes interesting and some of the scenes were very original, especially the opening scene involving the dogs. There was a lot of lag time in my opinion. In places, the movie could have moved on a little faster, but in others it was worthy of attention. I watched this movie as my attention was focused on a bit of paperwork, but at times, I was compelled to fix my eyes on the screen. It is not one I would suggest buying on DVD or even renting from Netflix, but it was showing on the MGMHD channel. If you run across it on your TV schedule and find there is nothing else to watch, you might find a bit of enjoyment in watching this film, but if CashCab is playing on the Discovery Channel, you should watch it instead. I'd put this one on the level with most of the movies you find premiering on the SciFi Channel.
