When scientists discover something near Antarctica that appears to be a buried Pyramid, they send a research team out to investigate. Little do they know that they are about to step into a hunting ground where Aliens are grown as sport for the Predator race.

If you loved AVP: Alien vs. Predator, the closest films we have are Alien: Covenant (2017), Sputnik (2020) and Deep Blue Sea (1999). All three share AVP: Alien vs. Predator's cerebral and dread feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Alien: Romulus (2024).
