10 Most Binge-Worthy Horror Movie Franchises
4. Alien
Number of films: 6 (8 including crossovers)
If you're not a splatter or slasher kind of horror fan, then there's no better series to get stuck into than Ridley Scott's masterful Alien franchise. Combining sci-fi, action, and claustrophobic horror into a collection of six epic clashes with unstoppable evil, it's both terrifying, fast-paced, and bursting with exquisite world-building.
For the most part, the films centre on Sigourney Weaver's badass warrant officer Ellen Ripley as she continuously faces off against the mysterious and seemingly indestructible xenomorph. The latest films - Prometheus and Alien: Covenant - have dropped Ripley, but the xenomorph continues to roam and kill.
With stunning set design, visual effects, characterisation and action sequences, the Alien franchise has balanced its different genres brilliantly throughout its run, creating one of the best horror and action series ever made in the process.
Binging the series would give added appreciation to the mythology of Ridley Scott's vision, and probably make the xenomorph all the more bone-chilling in the process.
