A new episode of the Awfully Good Horror Movies video series has just been released, and with director Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus now in theatres, we have decided to celebrate by taking a look back at one of the least popular entries in the Alien franchise, the crossover sequel Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (watch it Here). You can hear all about it in the video embedded above!

Directed by the Brothers Strause from a screenplay by Shane Salerno, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem has the following synopsis: Residents of Gunnison, Colorado, are caught up in the crossfire when two deadly extraterrestrial species bring their longstanding conflict to Earth. On the one side, nearly indestructible Aliens; on the other, a lone Predator whose mission is to wipe out all traces of the Alien infestation from Earth, no matter who gets in the way.

"Run, dad! Run!" Vertical Ent. has released an official trailer for an indie crime thriller titled Hammer, made by Canadian filmmaker Christian Sparkes. This premiered at the Whistler Film Festival last fall, and will be available to watch on VOD in June. Will Patton stars as a father who faces a personal crisis when he discovers his estranged son fleeing a botched drug deal. The two embark on a violent odyssey that grapples with themes of fatherhood, family and fate. Also starring Mark O'Brien, Ben Cotton, Dayle McLeod, Lara Jean Chorostecki, Connor Price, and Curtis Caravaggio. This trailer shows a lot in it, perhaps the only way to get people interested in this, since there's quite a few colorful criminal characters to follow. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Christian Sparkes' Hammer, direct from YouTube: A father faces a personal crisis when he discovers his estranged son fleeing a botched drug deal.

Former reality star and current WWE superstar Mike ‘The Miz’ Mizanin returns for a second crack at the title role in this fourth instalment of The Marine franchise and this time he’s bringing a WWE Diva along for the ride. Yes, after three installments featuring the WWE’s beefy muscle-men in the title role, The Marine 4: Moving Target sees fit to add a female wrestler into the mix – and she’s no damsel in distress either! Summer Rae – WWE Diva, former partner of the hip-jiggling Fandango and bitchy nemesis of the Bella Twins – stars alongside The Miz as one of a group of mercenaries tasked with tracking down the titular Marine. In other words, she...
