OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 1:29 AMHi guys, I was watching one of my favourite movie again tonight; The Thing prequel. And I'm curious what is your favourite sci-fi/monster/alien like movie?
My the most favourite alien/ monster movie is: Alien....The Thing prequel ( I think that they did a great job with The Thing:)...Predator...The Thing ( with K.Russel).... The War of Worlds...Men in Black...
I have a pretty good idea of where it is. It's just down there, in the basement....

OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 3:40 AMHmm... good question....
Well I like a lot of those Alien Resurrection genetic swimming drones. I love their design a lot and the smooth swim they have :).
Others don't really pop up into my mind...maybe Dren from Splice. I like the realistic design she has, like that could be the result when you mix human and animal DNA.This is my forum signature.
OvomorphMember3 XPNov-25-2012 4:30 AMPredator is good, first time i saw it was when i was about 11, and when he took his mask off, i ran out the room lol. Also i thought the effects were good for an older film.
I also love cloverfield for the way its filmed / eerie when the monster is about and realistic , Cloverfield was neither fully explained because it was directed by jj abrams... lindelofs mate from lost, and they love not telling answers....
I love Stephen King and his most memorable aliens book/film were probably "The Mist".
The spider/crab things are quite impressive, but at the end there is ginormus thing, jaw dropped when i saw it.
Also Stephen Kings "Dreamcatcher" about 4 boys who help a disabled boy(who is really an alien)(Duddits) from gettin beaten up. Duddits then gives each other different powers, for a future date(20-30 years later) when another alien race(Mr Grey) is trying to infect/rule Earth.\\\" I Want To Go Where They Come From\\\"
OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 8:28 AMRipley, could you bring us a pictures of them. There are many to chose. For me from ALIEN / PROMETHEUS universe, both are clear linked, so maybe the trilobite is just like Zerg Spire from the game StarCraft Universe. 
OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 9:32 AMRipleys "baby" in Alien resurrection was pretty ick, scary, and impressive which i'd say constitutes a good monster like a really big ugly violently badly behaved toddler felt sorta sorry when it got flushed out the small window its wee sad face! :( I LIKE WORMS! I LOVE WORMS!
OvomorphMember3 XPNov-25-2012 9:50 AMYeah it was weird to feel sorry about something that monstrous lol
The Trilobite in Prometheus was good when you can see it shaking with strength as it holds the Engineer down. The rape of the mouth is just wrong.\\\" I Want To Go Where They Come From\\\"

The world will spin well past our last breath, but I will always care about you
ChestbursterMember839 XPNov-25-2012 12:49 PMthe predator and all versions of the alien are pretty great, but how about the creatures in the mist? they werent all that scary, but the way the were presented was pretty creepyNot a map, an invitation
PraetorianAdmin4321 XPNov-25-2012 11:28 AMCall me old fashioned but I really love the original Xeno from Alien sculpted by Giger. The six fingers just creep me more than the 3 fingered ones from other movies.
Original 1979 Xenomorph
[IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/2160s7.jpg[/IMG]OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 2:42 PMfirst and foremost, the original Giger Alien is pretty much the apogee of film monsters. nothing else even comes close.
Moving on...i really liked a lot of the designs in prometheus. Both the pressure suit and chair suit engineers were incredible. I love the sacrificial engineer and the last engineer on lv 223. just great stuff. trilobite is nice as well.
Also, im really into a lot of the creatures from the X files. Considering the budgetary constraints, some amazing work was done on that show regarding creature designs.
I like the original "the thing" too.
OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 4:07 PMX-files yeh that reminds me of eugene tooms the guy who could work his way into your house up through yer toilet plumbing and come up out the pan at you hahaha yeughhh I LIKE WORMS! I LOVE WORMS!
OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 4:13 PMyeah man. love both of the episodes that feature tooms ...really just love the whole show in general. OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 5:21 PMTo Caenorhabh...yeah Eugene Tooms was really creepy:)
Cloverfield was great too;)
Now, I realize that The Blob was great despite that it is old movie;) and what's about the Independent Day movie?
;)I have a pretty good idea of where it is. It's just down there, in the basement....
OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 6:18 PMwell...the scariest Alien for me has to be....

OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 6:25 PMI also think the 1950's movie Forbidden Planet had an awesome Alien
he could become invisible and stalk you until it was too late
and the sound.. so creepy!

OvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 8:37 PMForbidden Planet Any mention of this picture is good thing.
Thanks Tankgirl
I bet if Robby was on board the Prometheus there would be some real a** kicking and problem solving going on.Be choicelessly aware as you move through life
OvomorphMember40 XPNov-25-2012 9:06 PMHaha I like [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gau1johnm2k]the host creature [/url] :DOvomorphMember0 XPNov-25-2012 9:19 PMI totally agree Indy!
I love robots and I have Robby sitting on my shelf ha ha ha ha ha
Shambs..that Alien is cool!

OvomorphMember0 XPNov-26-2012 3:05 PMI agree Lone
they were very well done!
I also thought the predator and their dog creatures looked cool...even thought I dont connect Predators to the Alien movies
I still really enjoy them as a great rollercoaster ride!

OvomorphMember0 XPNov-26-2012 3:06 PM'Them' Yea hide the sugar please.
Hmm If there were more Engineers around what could have been done or used to lure them out?Be choicelessly aware as you move through life
PraetorianMember2674 XPNov-26-2012 2:04 PMAgreed Shambs, 'The Host' creature is cool, I LOVE that film!
The best creature design ever has to be Giger's Alien, it's menacing, mesmerising, elegant, scary & beautiful all at the same time!
Then it has to be Rob Bottin's fantastic creations for 'The Thing', which are just an incredible alien gorefest & funny too! Think Norris's head leaving the room ~ "You gotta be f*****g kiddin me" ;-)"Let The Cosmic Incubation Begin" ~ H.R. Giger
OvomorphMember0 XPNov-26-2012 2:11 PMThe Thing was brilliant!

OvomorphMember0 XPNov-26-2012 2:20 PMWell, the original Alien from the '79 flick has always scared me. The films is just eerie (the 'Dallas on the vent' scene still puts me nervous, even though I've memorized it).
Another monster that has always caused quite an impact on me was Stan Winston's Kothoga creature for the '97 film 'The Relic':
[img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-zVpPk-7Amyw/TYP5_9bTrLI/AAAAAAAAAMg/Z35nQ8BMUMo/kothoga.jpg[/img]
Very nasty and brutal!!!
The dragons from the film Reign of Fire are quite nice also!! Awesome design:
[img]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs23/f/2007/356/d/9/Reign_Of_fire_dragon____by_kl6.jpg[/img]
Should I also include creatures from the animal kingdom that made it to screen?? Then, I guess I have to mention the velocirraptors from 'Jurassic Park', the shark from 'Jaws', the spiders from 'Arachnophobia'....PraetorianMember2674 XPNov-26-2012 2:40 PMI also love the giant ants from 'Them'. Considering it was made in 1954, the effects are pretty neat & the sound they made in the desert was so creepy! :-D"Let The Cosmic Incubation Begin" ~ H.R. Giger
PraetorianMember2674 XPNov-26-2012 4:08 PM@ Tanky agree totally!
@Indy John.......Guinness? :-D"Let The Cosmic Incubation Begin" ~ H.R. Giger
OvomorphMember0 XPNov-26-2012 4:53 PM
We have certainly come a LONG way with our Alien concept designs : )

OvomorphMember3 XPNov-26-2012 5:30 PMHaha they look like they spent alot of time and money on those alien/monster costumes.
I havent even seen "The Thing" but it looks scaaarey.
I like the alien things in 'Critters' lol quite funny actually.
Also the weird monster thing with eyes in his hands from Pans Labyrinth (Good film).
