Review

New York Times, 12/26/2007, "[D]ecently rendered. There are a couple of classic horror-film bits in among the sci-fi....Robert Joy is a perfect low-key villain in military guise."

Title Note

Theatrical Release: December 25, 2007

Distributor Note

Packed with adrenaline-pumping action, heart-stopping suspense, and 10 additional minutes of blood-soaked action too shocking for theaters, this unrated version of AVP-R escalates the war between sci-fi's scariest movie icons!

After a horrifying PredAlien crash-lands near a small Colorado town, killing everyone it encounters and producing countless Alien offspring, a lone Predator arrives to "clean up" the infestation. Soon it's an all-out battle to the death with no rules, no mercy-and hundreds of innocent people caught in the crossfire. As the creature carnage continues, a handful of human survivors attempt a daring escape, but the U.S. government may be hatching a deadly plan of its own...

Product Notes

ALIEN VS. PREDATOR relegated its intergalactic grudge match to Antarctica, keeping most of humankind gleefully ignorant. This time around, though, the destruction takes place in suburban America, and those who have been waiting for it finally get to witness facehuggers, alien hybrids, and the dreadlocked Predator wreak some homeland havoc. Directors Colin and Greg Strause (billed as "The Brothers Strause") don't seem concerned with achieving the tension of the original ALIEN and PREDATOR films, instead using their visual effects backgrounds to create a steady stream of monsters, gore, and goo. Picking up where AVP ended, REQUIEM sees Predator on a homebound spacecraft when a baby alien/Predator hybrid bursts from his chest, causing the ship to crash in the Colorado woods. Several facehugger specimens escape, planting eggs down the throats of a hunter and his son. Soon, baby aliens emerge from their bodies and head for town, where ex-con Dallas (Steven Pasquale), Iraq War vet Kelly (Reiko Aylesworth), pizza delivery boy Ricky (Johnny Lewis), high school heartthrob Jesse (Kristen Hager), and sheriff Morales (John Ortiz) have their own separate encounters with the creatures. The dead Predator's home planet receives a transmission of the alien outbreak, and a fellow denizen of his world is dispatched to clean up the multiplying aliens, eventually causing enough death and destruction for government intervention.

This is essentially a slasher film (or FREDDY VS. JASON with aliens), and the characters in REQUIEM are secondary to the creature effects. Fans of the comic books and videogames will appreciate the Strauses‘ adherence to the lore of the series, but others will probably just find thrills in the copious special effects, which are frequent and well-done (if often occurring in darkness). There is also a significant amount of indiscriminant gore in this rightfully R-rated film. A government conspiracy plot thread and an ambiguous ending ensure that this battle isn't over yet.

2 out of 5 stars Well, from what little I could see..., May 10, 2008
By bgcat
Id like to say that this was fun, but I couldnt. I couldnt see. Even in the daylight sequences (bright sunny days) everything was too dark. There were times I was so annoyed I wanted to stop it entirely. The opening scenes werent eerie as they ought to have been. I wasnt sure what I was looking at. Even with lingering camera shots, I could have been looking at anything. "Thats something dark and shiny moving in front of something else thats dark and shiny. In a pitch black room, you may be able to make out a little more detail, but not enough. May the fill light gaffers went on strike for this movie. Who knows? If they were standing in some of the scenes, you wouldnt have been able to see them. This clearly ruined the movie for me. Maybe you can see something on the Blue Ray version, but unless that was digitally mastered by someone else, theres little chance it could be that much better. How could HD improve black shiny thing in unlit black room.
