10 Worst Horror Movies Of 2024
2. Alien Hunt
Ridley Scott's Alien had such an influence on the sci-fi genre, it was destined to spawn copycats. With that said, there's never been a mockbuster as shameless as Alien Hunt. This trainwreck has all the hallmarks expected from an Asylum-worthy film, including a non-sensical story, appalling acting, and a rudimentary script.
However, there are three major flaws that stand out. Firstly, Alien Hunt doesn't hide the fact it copied H.R. Giger's iconic design. The alien, which is called Trixie, is literally a Xenomorph with eyes. The film also unabashedly rips off Predator, since the story involves an extra-terrestrial terrorising a group of people in the woods.
Alien Hunt is so cheap, calling it a micro-budget indie seems generous. Every item, whether it's a uniform, a gun, or the cardboard road signs looks fake. And finally, the filmmakers haven't a clue how to shoot, stage, or light anything. Even though the Xenomorph suit in Alien was astounding, the Alien crew kept it in darkness to make the acid-blooded creature more menacing. Trixie, on the other hand, is regularly paraded around in natural daylight, so it never looks like anything except a costumed performer.
Apart from the "so bad, it's good" crowd, Alien Hunt can't be recommended to anybody.
