Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (also known as AVP: R or AVP: R – Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem) is a 2007 American science fiction action horror film directed by the Brothers Strause (Colin and Greg) in their directional debut, written by Shane Salerno, and starring Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth, and John Ortiz. It is the second installment of the Alien vs. Predator film franchise, continuing the crossover of the Alien and Predator franchises.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem was released on December 25, 2007, and received largely negative reviews from film critics, who criticized its acting, top gore, and dark lighting. However, the film was highly praised for the suspenseful and frightening atmosphere depicted in the film, as well as the action sequences and the visual style. Most praise for the movie was focused on the film's soundtrack by Brian Tyler. The film grossed $9.5 million on its opening day and took in a worldwide gross of $128.9 million in theaters. According to Home Media Magazine, the film debuted at #1 in sales and rentals on Blu-ray and #2 on DVD when it was released on home video on April 15, 2008. Since then it has made $27.4 million in DVD sales.
Following the events of Alien vs. Predator, a Predator ship is leaving Earth carrying Alien facehuggers, and the body of Scar, the Predator that defeated the Alien Queen. A chestburster erupts from Scar's body; it is a new creature that is a hybrid of both species. It quickly matures into an adult Predalien, makes its way onto a scout ship that is then detached from the Mothership, and starts killing all the Predators on the ship. A Predator's weapon fire punctures the hull and the scout ship crashes in the forest outside of Gunnison, Colorado.
