SPOILER ALERT, SPOILERS AHEAD
A small town in Middle America is besieged by alien-predator hybrids, munching on drifters, soldiers and, ahem, a blonde teenage girl. OK, the latter specimen was never actually eaten, but you do get the drift...
The local sheriff's department soon finds itself in the crossfire between the alien hybrids and a lone pure-blooded Predator with some pretty original ideas about damage control. Some scenes are gross even for this franchise, including aliens attacking toddlers and pregnant women in a maternity ward! The U.S. military "saves the day" by nuking the entire town to kingdom come, or perhaps to the next sequel.
While "Alien vs. Predator: Requiem" isn't as bad as many reviewers claim, it's not a particularly good movie either. It's probably best suited for quite young and quite hardcore fans of "monster of the week" movies. Lovers of the original Alien or Predator films will probably find it something of a juvenile debasement of the original concepts.
Two stars.
