10 Horror Movies That Dared To Kill Kids

Look, we all know that this movie is a giant turd that deserves to be forgotten. It exists only to sully the good names of two of science fiction’s most beloved film franchises. It is an embarrassment for fans and is responsible for almost killing the two series off completely.

If the film has one redeeming factor, it occurs early on in its runtime. At the start of the film, a 2nd Amendment enthusiast and his little Red-Stater son are in a heavily wooded area, hunting for deer. The two come across a crashed Predator ship, one that was transporting alien facehuggers. The facehuggers get their name from their tendency to cling to their victim’s faces as they plant embryos of the alien race into their hosts. Of course when these embryos are mature enough, they burst violently from their host’s chest cavities, making for a violent and bloody death.

Their inquisitive nature ultimately means that the father and the son both become hosts for the facehuggers. In a particularly cruel bit of cinema, the son wakes up and watches his father suffer an incredibly gory death, as a xenomorph bites and claws its way from inside him. Whether the kid realizes it or not, we know that he’s going to suffer the same exact fate.
