2007 film by the Brothers Strause
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (stylized on-screen as AVPR: Aliens vs. Predator – Requiem) is a 2007 American science fiction action horror film that is the second installment in the Alien vs. Predator franchise, and the sequel to Alien vs. Predator (2004). The film was directed by the Brothers Strause from a screenplay by Shane Salerno.
Set immediately after the events of the previous film, the film begins with a Predator ship crashing into a forest outside of Gunnison, Colorado, where an Alien-Predator hybrid known as the Predalien escapes and makes its way to the nearby small town. Wolf, a skilled veteran "cleaner", is dispatched to kill the Predalien, and the townspeople try to escape the ensuing carnage. The film stars Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth, John Ortiz, Johnny Lewis and Ariel Gade.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem premiered on November 4, 2007, in Los Angeles. It was released theatrically on December 25 in the United States. The film received generally negative reviews from critics for its poor lighting, editing, and lack of originality. It grossed $130.2 million worldwide against a production budget of $40 million. Plans for another sequel were abandoned, with further independent entries in both franchises released in 2010 and 2012 respectively.
