Guys, now I love you even more! I didn't think it was possible! I adore the Alien universe and xenomorphs are my favorite movie monsters. Of course I love Alien-like films. Sci-Fi/Horror is still my favorite horror subgenre. Mimic, Pandorum, The Andromeda Strain, Leviathan, Lifeforce, Xtro, Event Horizon are amazing films!
I don't know that I'd call The Andromeda Strain anything like Alien at all. There's no grotesque monsters or overt gore, and the fear and tension are more of a slow-burn psychological dread. It's an absolute gem of a film, but I don't think liking Alien will automatically mean you like that one. Personally, I would've put Virus on this list. It seems largely forgotten by many, but it was very gory and weird, and I loved Jamie Lee Curtis in it.
@@thorgrootsweetrabbit2244 Are we talking Andromeda Strain, or Virus? I'll admit the Michael Crichton book was one of his best, but I still loved the movie. And the Virus graphic novel was pretty damn good, too.
Thanks for this amazing video! Other gems: Shivers (1975), Day of the Animals (1977), Prophecy (1979), Saturn 3 (1980), Inseminoid (1981), The Deadly Spawn (1983), Creature (1985), Star Crystal (1986), The Hidden (1987), The Kindred (1987), DeepStar Six (1989), Moontrap (1989), The Terror Within (1989), The Dark Side of the Moon (1990), Syngenor (1990), Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor (1990), Dead Space (1991), Alien Intruder (1993), Death Machine (1994), Project: Metalbeast (1995), Within the Rock (1996), The Relic (1997), Legion (1998), Progeny (1998), Creature (1998), Virus (1999), Supernova (2000), Alien Lockdown (2004), SharkMan (2005), Apollo 18 (2011), The Bay (2012), Europa Report (2013), The Last Days on Mars (2013).
Being a TV episode, it would not be eligible for this list, but Red Dwarf - Polymorph definitely deserves honorable mention. Any Alien fan can greatly appreciate the lampooning of the iconic creature in a way only the show's producers could have imagined.
@@CashelOConnolly Some people have adopted Event Horizon as an unofficial prequel to Warhammer 40k. Slaanesh is an extra dimensional chaos god whose MO is pretty much all the things that were happening in Event Horizon.
The Relic (1997) is my personal favorite of the ALIEN knock offs. It is based on a book, but still carried out as a film much like the Ridley Scott classic, and it succeeds far better than most on this list.
The creatures in Pandorum are explained, something in their environment made them evolve quickly. Was mentioned it was to help the new settlers adapt to survive.
Fun fact about Galaxy of Terror, those bumps you see on the wall, if the scene you showed with dude walking down it with a gun, were McDonald's burger containers. Lol. The budget was tight and they wanted to ship to look more realistic and interesting, as the sets were fairly scant, so that was the idea with the walls.
I actually knew this one. They sent people(including a young Bill Paxton i do believe) dumpster diving to get all the burger containers they needed lol. Now that's movie making.
@@brandonwachter2264 Yeah, I think you're right. I remember hearing that in the vid. I saw about it, that Bill was part of that crew that dumpster dove for them. Hehehehe. That is real movie making and similar things happened in some old famous movies from that era, on tight budgets and again James Cameron was involved. Arnold S. actually smashed the car window in Terminator for real and it was a stranger's car, not a prop car. Lol. Linda Hamilton tells the story as, "Cameron wanted a realistic car window smash and to get the permits/licences to film it, was a lengthy and expensive process, plus procuring a car. So they did a one take quick scene, Arnold was to walk commandingly across the street, punch the car window get in. It was crazy, we felt like criminals, but it was exhilarating too, lol. We paid for the damages to the person's car, as it was far cheaper than doing it the "official" way through the city", hehehehe. Now that, is moving making dedication.
An excellent list of the sci-fi- horror/ thriller. A few positions I already knew, but there are some hidden gems, which I shall definitely watch. A big thank you for that and keep up the good job.
Attack the Block is so damn cool! A group of crazy british boys fighting aliens and running from drug dealers. After this movie basically all the casting became top tier actors
This is a great list and I am glad that you acknowledged Lifeforce. I really enjoy this movie. I watched it for the first time on Cinemax when I was a kid back in the 80s. Such an overlooked and underrated movie.
I remember thinking that Pandorum was an excellent bit of sci-fi, as if a Cinema Student had been given an assignment to create an entirely representative and appropriate homage to 80s alien horror films, and knocked it out of the park.
I love The Abyss! Its my all time favorite undersea movie just for the efexes alone,but when you add the neon colored aliens that just bumped it up you know.
The only films on this list that I haven't seen are Life and Under Water. The others are all excellent, a few even being favorites of mine. Great list!
I discovered Attack The Block from watching that year's BAFTA Awards, its director for that film was nominated and it got my attention. It's like, 'what if the Goonies were actual pottymouthed ruffians and we witness them take on an entire alien invasion.' It's so fun and scary all blender mixed. Plenty of death and gore but still maintain the flow of dark and witty humor. Love it.
Leviathan is the only movie to ever give me nightmares. I saw it in the theater when I was pregnant, and for a week I had dreams of creatures bursting out of me!
Solid list here, with Dark Star as one of those charming and strangely crafted film on it's own. A shoutout to Blood Machines (2020) for it's space opera music video approach, light on horror with more sci fi.
@@RambutanIllustration doubt it you really think they watch half of these films besides they probably read that the judas took her to the nest and assumed her dead or at least watched to this point 1 or the other
Can't believe you skipped over Species. There are a lot of others, as well, but that one is one of the first movies that comes to mind when I think of alien movies that aren't part of the Alien franchise.
Lifeforce still is in my top favourite movies, story is solid (the book by Colin Wilson is excellent) and acting quality is so intense the movie is good from start to finish
Lol, Galaxy of Terror is on the list. "Crew's greatest fears manifest" It was rated X originally because they had to tone the scene where the blonde crewman is, literally, raped by a giant maggot waaaay back.
The producer was a creep, originally she was just meant to be eating alive by the maggot. But because the producer Roger Corman promised his investors there would a nude scene. The actress only agreed because Coleman said he would try to not reveal too much but obviously filmed her entirety. Honestly, that one scene to me makes me wonder if it was some creepy fetish that was asked to come to fruition.
I saw event horizon for the first time only a month ago ( may 2021) and knew the twists ahead of time. But even with that I still think event horizon is a fantastic film, dark, disturbing, creepy great effects sets and production values... Hell even the characters are good and likeable. Great film sad it took me this long to find out honest verdict 92/100 ,9/10, 4.5/5 love it.
Considering how vast is universe is not out of questions for such scenario to take place.Somewhere down the time line, someone will be shitting pants 😅Those bad motherfuckers are too icon to be forgotten.

Relic from the 90s with Tom Sizemore is a classic. Museum , monsters , cheesy and lots of killings. Obviously no way near as good but it’s still a great film.
From your description of the movie Mimic, I don't think this channel has ever seen the movies they mention. Dr. Tyler is essentially final girl of Mimic. Maybe watch the films before you make a list or at least read the Wikipedia articles first.
Either they aren't paying attention or aren't taking notes and forgot things with some of the movies. For example, Pandorum does reveal the secret of the 'aliens' even though this video says otherwise.
I think they purposely leave things out, that could be aha moments or major spoilers. thus sometimes having their short explanations come off very vague or any of the such. But its to help build interest in getting you want to watch the film. Instead of having a yojtube video break it down completly
I don't know anything about Mimic, except what was mentioned in the vid, and comments, however, I do agree that they are not watching the films, or at least they didn't watch Underwater; if they did, then they don't understand that looking cool, does NOT make a good movie. According to multiple critics that I watch, the monsters were scary... until Kristen Stewart's character one shot one of them. Also, Kristen Stewart's performance was more lack luster than her role in Snow White and the Huntsman, though still better than her role in Twilight. There were large plot holes, some nonsensical decisions made (ESPECIALLY if you are trying to compare it to something as great as Alien), and no character development, which made it nigh impossible to relate to the characters, or feel anything for them when they died, or went through struggles.
Though many hard-core sci-fi buffs consider the original from 1951 to be the superior version. IMHO John Carpenter's version is more fun, but in the 1951 version the creature reveals some interesting details arguably making it more villainous.
Sorry, but no. In Alien you have a lot of build up until the chestburster scene. Underwater starts right off with the accident underwater. Could've been great, turned out average.
@@Argaroth666 . I never stated the start was the same. Both start different, yes, but both movies built up the same kind of tension and the aesthetics were very very similar. The sets even looked very similar and was very claustrophobic like Alien. Stop nip picking because even the Director himself said that he was inspired by Alien when making this film
@@Argaroth666 also don't ever say no to a person, especially when you don't know what you're talking about. People have different opinions, so trying to tell someone 'no' is a redundant argument. Also I'm actually speaking fact, so therefore not wrong.
@Marvelous Videos There is a MAJOR correction about Dan O'Bannon in 18:31 and that is that he not only "wrote" the screenplay for ALIEN, he CREATED and titled ALIEN. He is the creator, and Ronald Shusett was given Co-Creator credit due to him giving O'Bannon the idea of the Impregnation and Chestburster. Many people credit Ridley Scott only because of ALIEN but the fact is that without O'Bannon there would never had been ALIEN to begin with. He deserves as much credit for ALIEN as Scott, and in that turn so do Ron Cobb and the also late H.R. Giger whom designs were what inspired the late O'Bannon to create and write ALIEN and then look up a movie company to buy his movie to then write the Screenplay.
I don't think you understand what makes Alien stand out. It's a mix of fear of the unknown and isolation, not to mention the performance of the crew. I am not saying the movies you listed are bad, but most of them are not similar to Alien at all.
The only epic-capture of the idea-of-aliens outside the Original-concePt-artist and his internal-conception, is the Tyranids of Warhammer 40K: sweeping the entirety of OP-artists' notebooks into a tumbler and extruded lore of impeccable narrative.
It is. Hate to nitpick you guys but I recently watched one and Mira Sorvino plays Dr Susan Tyler who in your synopsis you say is dead and can't stop the bugs.......did y'all watch this movie? She is the main character Josh Brolin has a pretty small role.
Event Horizon and Pandorum are made by same director Paul WS Anderson if i remember correct. Good movies. EDIT: Pandorum is directed by another, but i think Paul WS Anderson was an associate in making of the movie. Damn, i remember Galaxy of Terror, was awesome, but mostly scary and disburting. Didnt know the name in the long time so, i remembered that movie with no name until like 10 years ago i found the name by chance lol. That giant maggot scene is one of the burnt imagery into my brain since i was a kid.
A good list - Underwater was a creepy, intense and mysterious Lovecraftian Cthulhu themed film that really excels - alien??? not sure - but this is a vastly underrated film and worth the watch... 8.5/10
I clicked on the video because of the discrepancy of the thumbnail stating "13" movies, but the title saying "12". Lol Also, I love the titles listed. I would hate to be in any of those universes. Although, would still travel to the outter regions of space to explore it.
Sorry but Galaxy of terror wasn't them being stranded; though they ended up that way they were supposed to be a rescue mission; the bodies they started finding were the crew of a previous mission they were supposed to rescue.
No space monster movie will top the ORIGINAL ALIEN MOVIE. It was just one of those things that hit on ALL cylinders and took off with a life of its own.
I love Life Force I saw it when young it was rated low enough on tv for me to see it when I was 12, it was frightening yes, but it wasn't so frightening that it gave me nightmares or anything. I enjoyed the special effects.
Guys, now I love you even more! I didn't think it was possible! I adore the Alien universe and xenomorphs are my favorite movie monsters. Of course I love Alien-like films. Sci-Fi/Horror is still my favorite horror subgenre.

That's all anyone wanted. Why they think anyone will watch the full video is beyond me.
The rarely discussed Splinter (2008) would make a fine edition to this list.

The only epic-capture of the idea-of-aliens outside the Original-concePt-artist and his internal-conception, is the Tyranids of Warhammer 40K: sweeping the entirety of OP-artists' notebooks into a tumbler and extruded lore of impeccable narrative.
Event horizon and Lifeforce were excellent, Mathilda May is the sexiest thing ever put on film.
Perfect work on this list, well done folks. I suggest a moment to pat yourselves on the back...
Nude Mathilda May is always a yes.
That's one special effect that they can't do a remake of, its not gonna have the magic of the 1st film. And that soundtrack!
Also the fact that it was based on a Colin Wilson book helps
Event Horizon and Andromeda Strain should NOT be on this list. And you have the plots wrong for several movies on this list.
Why not? And what plots did he get wrong? Can't say this stuff and not say exactly what's wrong with the stuff they said. . 😂 😂
@@Johnnybgood24 Have you watched the movies on this list?
@@alphawlffI just wanna knoe why you can't answer at least the 2nd question. 😂
@@Johnnybgood24 It should be obvious if you have seen these movies.
@@alphawlff okay don't answer the question. Bye
Pandorum is one of my favs saw it in middle school and loved it so much
This is a good list. I've seen most of them but the ones I haven't sound interesting. I'll have to check them out.
16:10 the hell you talking about she didn't die!
Thanks for this, I've been looking for the name for "Xtro" I saw this years ago and it totally freaked me out, Awesome 🤪
GALAXY OF TERROR what an excellent Gem Kudos for this videos producers finding that one!
Some very underrated gems on this list but not Sunshine (2007) or even Supernova (2000), they are both criminally underrated especially Sunshine!
Life is TERRIFYING!
Mimic is a brilliant and well made Sci fi Horror Thriller from Guillermo Del Toro.
It is. Hate to nitpick you guys but I recently watched one and Mira Sorvino plays Dr Susan Tyler who in your synopsis you say is dead and can't stop the bugs.......did y'all watch this movie? She is the main character Josh Brolin has a pretty small role.
Is it just me, or do those freaks from "Pandorum" remind anybody else of the Morlocks from "The Time Machine?"
Event Horizon and Pandorum are made by same director Paul WS Anderson if i remember correct. Good movies. EDIT: Pandorum is directed by another, but i think Paul WS Anderson was an associate in making of the movie.
Damn, i remember Galaxy of Terror, was awesome, but mostly scary and disburting. Didnt know the name in the long time so, i remembered that movie with no name until like 10 years ago i found the name by chance lol. That giant maggot scene is one of the burnt imagery into my brain since i was a kid.
A good list - Underwater was a creepy, intense and mysterious Lovecraftian Cthulhu themed film that really excels - alien??? not sure - but this is a vastly underrated film and worth the watch... 8.5/10
Actually the real original alien movie was the 1950's classic "It! The Terror From Beyond Space".
(Just giving credit where credit is due.)
I clicked on the video because of the discrepancy of the thumbnail stating "13" movies, but the title saying "12". Lol
Also, I love the titles listed. I would hate to be in any of those universes. Although, would still travel to the outter regions of space to explore it.
Lifeforce. Mathilda May. Yoh!
I saw XTRO when it came out and it was absolutely Scarry and horrific, and bizarre!!
List of movies I rented on friday night from Blockbuster. 😊✌
I miss blockbuster, hollywood video & family video. 😢
How could you for get "the blob"? The black/white (before Alien) & the color (not sure when that came out)....
Some were great & shouldn’t be missed
Sorry but Galaxy of terror wasn't them being stranded; though they ended up that way they were supposed to be a rescue mission; the bodies they started finding were the crew of a previous mission they were supposed to rescue.
the movies have little in common with the alien xenomorph movies
Antje Traue is the true reason you need to watch Pandorum
She's gorgeous. Good intense character in that.
Galaxy of Terror will worth your time
1:49 Pandorum
4:15 Event Horizon
6:45 The Andromeda Strain
8:48 Life (2017)
10:27 Galaxy of Terror
12:29 Leviathan (1989)
14:46 Mimic
17:14 Dark Star
19:25 Attack the Block
21:16 Lifeforce
23:44 Underwater
25:47 Xtro
thanks!
Mira Sorvinos character lived.
It was the basis for the Mimic 2.....
The Corman creature feature, Forbidden World, should have been on this list. It was better than Galaxy of Terror.
Nice video but there some inaccuracies in the voiceover!
Thanks for this list :-) fun stuff!! 🤘🤣🖤
No space monster movie will top the ORIGINAL ALIEN MOVIE. It was just one of those things that hit on ALL cylinders and took off with a life of its own.
Aliens would be close, but Alien set the bar so high, nothing has come remotely close.
I love Life Force I saw it when young it was rated low enough on tv for me to see it when I was 12, it was frightening yes, but it wasn't so frightening that it gave me nightmares or anything. I enjoyed the special effects.
