Alien Vs. Predator: The Movie Novelization
Read a Chapter
Bouvetoya Whaling Station, Antarctica, 1904: The Emma sailed for the shores of Bouvetoya Island at the start of the 1904 whaling season with a full complement of sailors, harpooners, boats and oil processing equipment -- enough to slaughter whales and extract their oil for a full year on the Antarctic ice before returning to Norway the following year.
Emma's newest skipper and part-owner Sven Nyberg intended to make his first and last voyage as a whaler a profitable one.
Sven's brother, Bjorn, had been the Emma's captain for nineteen seasons, but Bjorn had died of a fever . . . . .

Aliens Vs. Predator - Requiem (Unrated SE) - DVD
ALIEN VS. PREDATOR relegated its intergalactic grudge match to Antarctica, keeping most of humankind gleefully ignorant. This time around, though, the destruction takes place in suburban America, and those who have been waiting for it finally get to witness facehuggers, alien hybrids, and the dreadlocked Predator wreak some homeland havoc.
Directors Colin and Greg Strause (billed as "The Brothers Strause") don't seem concerned with achieving the tension of the original ALIEN and PREDATOR films, instead using their visual effects backgrounds to create a steady stream of monsters, gore, and goo.
Picking up where AVP ended, REQUIEM sees Predator on a homebound spacecraft when a baby alien/Predator hybrid bursts from his chest, causing the ship to crash in the Colorado woods. Several facehugger specimens escape, planting eggs down the throats of a hunter and his son.
Soon, baby aliens emerge from their bodies and head for town, where ex-con Dallas (Steven Pasquale), Iraq War vet Kelly (Reiko Aylesworth), pizza delivery boy Ricky (Johnny Lewis), high school heartthrob Jesse (Kristen Hager), and sheriff Morales (John Ortiz) have their own separate encounters with the creatures.
The dead Predator's home planet receives a transmission of the alien outbreak, and a fellow denizen of his world is dispatched to clean up the multiplying aliens, eventually causing enough death and destruction for government intervention.
This is essentially a slasher film (or FREDDY VS. JASON with aliens), and the characters in REQUIEM are secondary to the creature effects. Fans of the comic books and videogames will appreciate the Strauses‘ adherence to the lore of the series, but others will probably just find thrills in the copious special effects, which are frequent and well-done (if often occurring in darkness). There is also a significant amount of indiscriminant gore in this rightfully R-rated film. . . . .

PredAlien
Life-Size Prop Replica
Sideshow Collectibles is proud to partner with Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. (ADI) to bring you the PredAlien Life-Size Bust from Aliens VS Predator: Requiem.
Taken directly from molds for ADI's screen-used costumes and props, each bust is individually painted and finished, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product. The imposing PredAlien Life-Size Bust is a must-have for any fan of creature design and the AVP franchise.
In Aliens VS Predator: Requiem, a lone Yautjas species Predator is sent to Earth to destroy a crashed ship and wipe out any of the deadly Xenomorph aliens aboard. Before he reaches the wreckage, several of the aliens escape into a nearby town. As the Predator hunts and kills the acid-blooded Xenomorphs, a new, even more deadly creature is tracking the Predator - the PredAlien.
Born of an alien facehugger implanted in a Predator host, the hybrid possesses attributes of both the Xenomorph and Yautjas species. Its physical size and strength are greater than any alien born from a human host, and more agile than any Predator hunter.
It shares the physical characteristics of both creatures, with the tentacle-like hair and mandibles of the Predator and the tail and secondary mouth of the alien, and worse, it is capable of producing viable Xenomorph eggs, and has the necessary equipment to implant the eggs in the plentiful human hosts.
