It’s ‘Alien’ Versus ‘Predator’ Versus ‘Star Wars’!
Depending on your attitude, the first Alien vs Predator movie was either a lot of fun or a steaming pile of horseshit. Personally, I feel it fully embraced what it needed to go for, which is a bunch of aliens and a couple of predators duking it out with humans caught in the middle. It’s pure popcorn fodder and damn if I don’t have a good time watching it! The sequel, on the other hand…
I have to admit that the actual Alien vs Predator storylines created in both novels and comics have a lot more to offer than what we got, so there’s always this niggling feeling of “What if?” Now, YouTube channel counter656 has answered that question, although in a way I couldn’t possibly have imagined!
The below stop-motion video shows aliens and a predator duking it out while a Stormtrooper and Boba Fett get caught in the battle and have to defend themselves…or flee in the original Batmobile. Whatever works best. It’s absurd amounts of fun and the amount of effort and work that went into the video is 100% evident.
The channel explains, “This is a new video we made about stop motion fights between several movie characters, figures are from Herocross, which are very cute and awesome toys , this video took around 6000 pictures and nearly two month of production time.”
Give it a watch below and have a great weekend!
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
