Plus, it's a reminder that Charlie Sheen could deliver on screen, before he became a tabloid disaster. Writer Nigel Kneale's series of Quatermass tales, which originally started as BBC serials and later adapted as three excellent films, remain among the finest examples of British science-fiction from the s and '60s. Eerie images, stark cinematography and a constant level of tension make this a crackling, unsettling 90 minutes.
Arguably Nigel Kneale's masterpiece, this third Quatermass outing finds our rocket scientist now played by Andrew Keir investigating the discovery of a strange artifact buried under a tube station in the center of London. The object is a dormant Martian craft that was part of a colonization effort by the long-dead Martian race. When the craft is activated, it possesses the minds of any humans who have the remnants of Martian genetic programming from millennia ago and sends them on a murderous racial purge.
Alien invasion by proxy is what this gripping film serves up, with the ideas coming fast and furious the Martians look vaguely Satanic, suggesting our racial memory of the Devil and the atmosphere full of suspense and terror throughout. While the main thrust of this terrific and underseen sci-fi action epic is the continual time loop that turns Tom Cruise from a cowardly PR flack into a resolute hero, it's also worth noting that Edge of Tomorrow is a crackerjack alien invasion flick, too.
The Mimics are a truly monstrous race, and it's their ability to reset time that provides the narrative engine for the Cruise character's arc, making for an unusually coherent and smart script all the more wonder since it was finished during filming. Is District 9 an film about an alien invasion? Neill Blomkamp's directorial debut finds some , aliens in a massive ship seeking asylum on Earth and getting it -- only to live in squalid refugee camps on the edge of Johannesburg, South Africa, where tension and suspicion between aliens and humans rages daily for the next 28 years.
The aliens' true intentions remain murky, but the film's brilliant central metaphor is perhaps even more relevant today, with the ongoing refugee crisis happening abroad. And it's one hell of a thriller, to boot. One day, the entire population of the town of Midwich, England falls unconscious, as does anyone who enters the hamlet. When they wake up, it's discovered two months later that all females of child-bearing age are pregnant, and they give birth -- all on the same day -- to children who develop quickly and begin to manifest both a telepathic bond with each other and strong psychic powers.
Predator seems to start out as a typical Arnold Schwarzenegger action vehicle and veers into weirder territory once the Predator, himself -- an alien being stalking humans in a South American jungle -- starts pursuing and killing Schwarzenegger's team.

Is the alien an advance scout? We never know and we don't care; this movie lives on its relentless suspense, its hideous monster and Schwarzenegger's winning performance, not to mention the final confrontation between him and the Predator. Although it's been supplanted by the Carpenter masterpiece, The Thing from Another World is still a classic in its own right and one of the best sci-fi films of its decade which is saying a lot, since the s were a hell of a decade for sci-fi cinema.
Although this Thing is a highly evolved, intelligent form of plant life in a humanoid shape a "super carrot" as reporter Ned Scott calls it , it still has the ability to reproduce itself -- making The Thing from Another World about the vanguard of an invasion, if not the invasion itself.

The Cold War allegory is intact as well, and Scott's final plea to "keep watching the skies" is a potent one. While less drenched in the alienation pardon the pun and urban angst of the version, the film is just as creepy in the way its small town of Santa Mira, California is effortlessly absorbed and replaced by the pods. This thriller takes place in one of the genre's most unusual settings yet: The Force Awakens star John Boyega in his stupendous film debut proves more than a match for the malevolent, light-repelling creatures infesting their territory and their home.
Relentlessly suspenseful, exciting and funny -- not to mention on point with its subtle explorations of race and class -- Attack the Block is a modern take on the genre that is fresh and furiously entertaining. Yes, the late Roddy Piper is not much of an actor, but They Live has nonetheless slowly achieved cult status over the years to become one of John Carpenter's most enduring films.
Piper plays a drifter who accidentally discovers that Earth's leaders have all been replaced by aliens, who are sending out subliminal commands to keep the human population distracted, in debt and under control. A rousing action thriller as well as a satire on our complacent, conformist society, They Live is the kind of cynical science fiction that only John Carpenter could make.
Night Shyamalan makes alien invasion into a personal matter, focusing on one small family led by Mel Gibson in rural Pennsylvania and their response to the bizarre events occurring around their farm and, by extension, in the world outside. The movie's a bit heavy-handed at times, and the final lapse in logic why would aliens invade a planet that is made up mostly of a substance harmful to them?
The invasion, itself, is spectacular, but non-violent: But behind that declaration is vast, unimaginable power. The Day the Earth Stood Still remains gripping and involving not because of what is shown -- although Gort is one of the great movie automatons -- but because of what is implied.
John Carpenter's modern classic is not a remake of the film, but a fresh adaptation of the original source material, John W. It retains the original premise of a malevolent, aggressive alien organism capable of assimilating other lifeforms and imitating them. The threat is clear: The invasion here is insidious and biological: Somehow, that's more frightening in a way than giant spaceships hovering over the Earth.
Although it takes a lot of liberties with the original novel and is dated in some ways, producer George Pal's epic adaptation of the Wells book retains a considerable amount of power to this day. Director Byron Haskin draws maximum tension out of a tightly written script and the story's Cold War backdrop, while the film also provides a human element to the devastation that the Martian invasion wreaks. The War of the Worlds was one of the first big sci-fi movies of its kind -- a precursor to the modern blockbuster -- but it's got heart and a mournful quality that's hard to shake.
ID4 was one of those game-changing movies that upped the ante for summer blockbusters, sci-fi spectacles and the kind of destruction porn that's now a regular feature of both. But at the time it was released, those brain-searing images of the White House and New York City being pulverized by massive alien spacecraft were like almost nothing that had been seen before. More importantly, the movie is vastly entertaining from start to finish.
From the tense build-up to the invasion, through the catastrophic first attack, to the unabashedly patriotic and resolute counter-attack by a united human race, Independence Day is grand pulp adventure that crackles with energy and is bolstered by a cast that digs into their one-dimensional characters with relish.
A world class exercise in rampant paranoia, Philip Kaufman's remake of the classic is eerier and more terrifying than the original, not to mention one of the best sci-fi outings of the s. The idea of updating the story to modern-day San Francisco during the "Me Decade," is a masterstroke: Your spouse has stopped showing emotion?
Why, he's just having trouble connecting with his feelings. By the time anyone in the brilliant cast Donald Sutherland, Leonard Nimoy, a young Jeff Goldblum wakes up to what's really happening, it's far too late. One of Steven Spielberg's darkest films, this was his angry, frightened response to the events of September 11th and the way the world changed after that. Although staying true to many elements of H. Wells' landmark novel including the alien tripods that march across the land , the script changes other aspects of it: It's never really explained.
That is the genius of the film: That somehow makes it all much scarier. War of the Worlds is not a perfect film and blame Wells for the much-maligned ending but it's the most visceral, immediate and, dare we say, realistic alien invasion epic ever made.

The Thing from Another World Invasion of the Body Snatchers Attack the Block The Day the Earth Stood Still If you really want to scare someone who grew up in the sixties or seventies, point at them with your mouth open and eyes wide—just be prepared to clean up after them as they'll inevitably ruin their pants in the process. A unique type of alien film, Under the Skin tells the story from the alien's perspective as she tries to survive in the human world.
There are elements of both abduction and body swapping, although no space ships are ever seen. Instead, we get a glimpse of the alien's world through a black, reflective abyss where she lures her victims after seducing them. Scarlett Johansson plays the very convincing alien disguised as a woman, otherworldly even through her beauty.
Scarlett's character drives around Scotland in a van, picking up men to harvest their bodies, only most of the men are not actors. Under the Skin filmed in a sort of candid camera set up where Johansson would talk to real people, having unscripted conversations. It's an unsettling film -- especially when the alien's real "skin" is revealed at the end -- and one that won't likely leave your mind long after it's done.
After engaging with one who has entered their cabin, they're dramatically picked off and abducted, one by one. It's one of those films where no matter what the characters do, their situation is completely hopeless, since they have no idea what they're messing with.
Malevolent: đź‘˝ Alien Contact Thriller
We all fear the unknown, and aliens are one of the scariest expressions of that fear. Five friends were experimented on by aliens, leading to one of their deaths and the return of the others.
Altered keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time, as the men become more and more paranoid—constantly at odds with each other and the effect the alien has on them all including one of their wives. Besides the genuinely creepy alien itself, one of the most terrifying scenes has to be seeing the extraterrestrial virus take over Cody Paul McCarthy-Boyington. While on a camping trip in the area, the Morris family encounters a series of strange phenomena documented on a home video camera by eleven-year-old Riley. Things only go downhill from there, as the Morris are hunted down and picked off one by one by the aliens in a series of seat-gripping moments.
No one is safe from the lights. The aliens are intent on abducting as many people as possible, although it seems that a select few are returned, albeit with quite a bit of trauma. While the film as a whole received mixed reviews upon its release, Fire in the Sky was generally praised for a thoroughly convincing abduction scene. Both the moment Travis Walton played by D. They convincingly depict a reality I haven't seen in the movies before, and for once I did believe that I was seeing something truly alien, and not just a set decorator's daydreams.
Walton is poked and probed in the eye by the lumpy E. Based on the book of the same name, Communion documents author Whitley Strieber's experience unraveling what happened to him while living in upstate New York. If the classic big-eyed, gangly gray aliens creep you out, you might have to sleep with the lights on after seeing one peek from behind a doorway in this film.
Not only do they appear inside Strieber's bedroom at night, but we even see him go inside their spaceship, where one of them removes part of their face to reveal something even more grotesque and slimy underneath. You see, the filmmaker's master copy of the film was destroyed in a fire, but not before a few preview copies on VHS were sent out by the distributor. Shot like a home movie, the film allegedly shows the Van Heese family's real life encounter with a small group of extraterrestrials who landed near their home. When the power goes out and bright lights pass overhead, the men in the family go out in the woods to investigate.
They manage to supposedly "kill" one, but like most horror films, the dead don't exactly stay dead. Ultimately, what's most terrifying about this film is how convincing it actually is if you have no idea what you're watching. Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton star in this family-centered alien abduction story, which comes off like a mix between Paranormal Activity and The Amityville Horror. Suspense builds at a creeping pace, making you very aware that something's always just around the corner. Ultimately, it's Keri Russell's excellent acting that makes your stomach drop in horror, making you feel her terror and panic as if it were a tangible thing.

Plus, there's just something incredibly disturbing about the children in these circumstances. A website with actual 'fake news' was even created to try and convince people that what they were about to see was based on a true story.

As it begins taking out the men one by one, no one is safe from suspicion. Futurama did a hilarious spoof of this concept in the episode "Murder on the Planet Express" as part of a team building exercise. Once the alien has taken over a being, it becomes a disgusting mess of hybrid parts that melt and drip goo, expanding and contracting while unleashing a slew of tentacles onto its prey or devouring it whole.
