Just watched AVP (alien vs predator).... the fighting scenes and cool special effects made me enjoy it enough. You may wanna just fast forward to those scenes. But if you are looking for good plot and characters, look elsewhere. I lost a little respect for Predator. I thought soon he was gonna kiss the girl. He changed from that bad ass mofo from part 1 that would kill anything that moved. sheesh

To be honest I don't think that there is any other Sci-Fi/Horror movie (meaning both elements in one movie) better than Alien. I mean some consider it the scariest movie ever made, certainly by today's standards its not very scarry but during the time it came out it was some freaky shit. I mean come on, alien rape, thats just bizzar and extremly creative at the same time!

Constantine, I just saw that movie and I'd have to say that it was a lot better than I thought it would be, but I like religious horror movies like the Omen (I-III, IV sucked ass!), and Devil's Advocate. And actually I didn't really see the comic book element in Constantine.

Speaking of comic books, is any one going to watch Man-Thing when it premiers on Sci-Fi channel April 30? That wil probably be a decent Sci-Fi/Horror movie.

Damn, talk about an open-ended question!

I have around 700, and there are thousands more. I guess I would start with the "Famous" or well known horror movies like The Exorcist, The Omen, The Evil Dead Series, The Hell Raiser Series, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (original) and Day of the Dead, then branch out to the B&W Classics (Phantom of the Opera, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon) then branch out even further to the more un-obvious (is that a word?) movies that mainstream audiences may not have heard of like Dog Soldiers, Night of the Demons, Seven Doors of Death, JU-ON etc...

Read horror movie forums like this one and see what everyone's talking about. There is a variable warehouse of knowledge regarding horror movies on this site. All you gotta do is pay attention and read.

Seems like some people think I mean any horror movie, but Im talking about Horror/Sci Fi.... Movies that have both horror elements and also Science Fiction... such as Alien, The Blob, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Thing. I dont mean movies like Dracula.

Yep, I misunderstood you. Normally a "/" means "and - or" but to each their own.

Anyway, for horror-Scifi, the Alien films are a no-brainer. Other than that...try;
Event Horizon (Your best bet!!!)
Hellraiser: Bloodline
Jason X (Not the best)
Starship Troopers (1st. one only)
Species (1 and 2 are okay)
The Forgotten
Ghosts of Mars (not the best, but okay for a one time view).
Planet of the Apes
Night of the Comet
Phantasm (series)
Red Planet
Sphere
The Thing
Tommyknockers

There is not that many movies that legitimately combine the two genre's, and even less that do it well. I was hard pressed to come up with these.

^^ Phantasm is a great fucking series. I can't find the fourth one over here anywhere but I loved the other three especially Phantasm II. I really liked Ghosts Of Mars (and pretty much everything Carpenter has ever done)



p.s - I can't be fucked argueing on how good/bad Ghosts of Mars was........so don't it's been done.
