str82u Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 War of the Worlds but not Vanilla Sky Judge Dread or iRobot Independance Day is a stretch, but enough UFOs get it through. EDIT: After re-reading the original post, I guess War o the Worlds is the only close call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meateater Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Have anybody ever seen "War of the Worlds" the TV series? I remember it was on ch.13 in the US before it became UPN, the channel for anything African American... That was pretty creepy. That and "Friday the 13th" the TV series kept my bed plenty moist back then... :cyclops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str82u Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 The Outer Limits had a few good ones for when I was a kid. Twilight Zone too, but not as much so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drken Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I always thought Quatermass and the Pit was scarry, but you guys have probobly never seen it. It was based on a british Sci-Fi series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Two games that need obvious nomination: System Shock 2 - all alone on a ship full of a psychotic AI and infested humans. I dare you to not be scared ;) Half Life 2 - We don't go to Ravenholme any more. AH, ZOMBIES! Honourable mention for Thief 3 - as it's not sci-fi but The Cradle is quite terrorful.

meateater Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Was that the 1960s-70s one? Where they were going around America stopping alien invaders? No, this one only ran from 1988-90. I don't have any memories of it except aliens with sucker-like hands taking over human bodies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any memories of it except aliens with sucker-like hands taking over human bodies... it was really, really bad.... set in the late 80's and followed on from the original movie... there series also had a full length film as a season opener, like Stargate and V! the stupid thing was it was based on the first film, and no one in the 80's knew about the original invastion as there was a major govenment coverup and people in the 80's just didnt know what happend. even tho most of the planet was destroyed!!!

Tenebrae Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ace. Like in the Alien v Predator v Terminator crossover and they managed to brush over the almost total destruction of humanity at the hands of skynet by going "Guess the military covered it up."

Tenebrae Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Uh... probably not. Well, unless the next AvP film (if that's still getting made) does well... Which probably won't happen because AvP was awful. A real shame, AvP 2 (the game) had a fantastic plot. Ah, the many sins of Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meateater Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm gonna upload Friday the 13th: The Series as soon as my eMule gets it to me. It'll be interesting how grown-up minds will think about it. ("grown-up refers to biologically, and in no way "behaviorally") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 The old ones are the best would like to add :- Soylent Green All the Quatermass even the series I think modern films are all special effect and not enough atmosphere but alien is pretty scary and i'm yet to meet a woman who when pregnant hasnt had the dream of the alien baby rippin thru the stomach.

ULYSSES1971 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I wouldnt say Aliens (2nd Alien film) but the orginal ALIEN film....also i would agree with THE THING.....and event horizon coming third (did actually like this film). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magestorm Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm going out on a limb here, and going with Night of the Living Dead. The dead return to life, seeking human victims. While none of the sequals touch on the root cause of this, the original 1968 classic states in a news broadcast that a probe returning from Venus brings a mysterious radiation, and was set to self destruct. However, the radiation spread across the eastern half of the US, and caused the situation seen in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
