Alien 3 has been saddled with challenges since it was first announced. Multiple directors and screenplay efforts came forward, and the end product borrowed elements from a few different ones, resulting in a 1992 theatrical release that fell a bit short with critics and viewers alike. In 2003, the Assembly Cut was produced to reintegrate…

Alien: Into Charybdis is easy to recommend to Alien fans with a strong stomach and some time on their hands to consume its heft.

If you have even the slightest interest in prop crafting, theatre, or Alien, you owe it to yourself to give Alien On Stage a watch.

A skate tape worth finding.

A thoughtful, varied collection of work inspired by a sci-fi classic.

A bold new direction for a well-worn franchise, and it works extremely well.

How Crohn’s disease became a chestburster.

Simple and fun, but doesn’t demand repeat viewing.

Willem Dafoe in vinyl overalls. Need I say more?

Two screenings, 30 years apart, and still a great ride.

A compelling alien tale that fits the established mold while keeping you guessing to the very end.

Thirty years later, I still get excited by how absurd it is.

The best version yet of an influential classic.

If you love ’80s horror or any of the previous Hatchet movies, you owe it to yourself to give Victor Crowley a shot.

I’m about as apathetic toward the movie as the characters are about being murdered.

A nice collection of napalm-spewing, acid-spraying, high-flying, skin-crawling, face-hugging critters that marines want to shoot, and The Company wants to domesticate.

Go ahead, give it a face-hug.

This box has such sights to show you.

Female Tyler Durden takes a hike.

Not really horror, not really funny, but definitely dark, and definitely takes too long.

Perfect for linguists and show fans alike.

A greater package than the movie itself warrants.

Maybe not quite my favorite horror-comedy, but definitely a good watch nonetheless.

Another fine entry into the horror-comedy genre.

It’s an express elevator to laughs.

Existing fans will love it, but newcomers may be disappointed.

It’s like a Scooby Doo mystery for adults.

“Naked bodies and politics is an explosive combination.”

You won’t need four rows of teeth to chew through this delicious Planet Earth appetizer.

An admirable entry into the horror comedy genre.

Smart and slightly cheesy, but you cannot unsee that finale.

“He feels at home in places we would flee from and lives his life among the very things we fear.”

It does to reality television what Napoleon Dynamite did to Idaho.

Its 70-minute length is both its saving grace and its biggest weakness.

It even has a gangsta rap theme song.

It’s like Lena Dunham’s ‘Girls,’ but for guys.

It’s pretty good right up until it tries too hard.

Dive into a wet and wild ride to the bottom of the world’s oceans.

It has dulled a bit over time with other movies building on its formula, but the legacy and impact live on.

In case you weren’t sure whether Hef’s life was awesome, here he is to tell you how awesome it is.

Not as good as its cast might imply.

Nothing to see here.

A killer cast of outright maniacs.

RiffTrax makes lousy movies so much better.

Instead of pills, try music.

Before you take another bite, watch this.

There’s more to this story than mere robots that go splish splash.

If you’re not watching RiffTrax, you should be.
