11 Action-Horror Movies To Get Your Blood Pumping

1. Aliens (1986)

Dog Soldiers woof!
20th Century Fox

It was always going to be on this list, one of the best action, science fiction, and horror films of all time. If you haven't seen this classic yet, then i don't know why you're still reading, it is the quintessential action-horror movie, it blends shocking and unsettling horror moments, with effective action scenes.

Ripley, the sole survivor of the Nostromo, acts as a consultant to a group of elite colonial marines, who get sent out on a bug-hunt. The iconic lore-building surrounding the Weyland-Yutani conglomerate, combined with the mystery of the xenomorph, and the outlandish group of marines, creates one of the most compelling and iconic films of all time. Countless projects have been inspired by, and will be inspired by this classic of cinema.

H. R. Giger, the man who designed the xenomorph and the facehugger, is responsible for countless nightmares. It is without the most disturbing movie monster ever conceived, a heavily armoured and slimy alien with translucent teeth and acid blood. The special effects and set designs are totally unforgettable, entering their hive is skin-crawling cinema at its finest.

I watch, then I write. It could gory horror movies or confusing yet loveable cult hits like Donnie Darko. So have a look at what I write, or don't. It's fine, I don't mind.
