This Christmas there will be no peace on Earth, because they're back! They're both back! Aliens versus Predator 2 sees the return of sci-fi fans' two favourite monsters, 'Alien' and 'Predator'.

The sequel to 2004's Alien versus Predator (AVP) is a lot better than its predecessor. This is mostly because there's much more gruesome scenes that will please fans immensely as the Aliens lay waste to a small Colorado town. The creatures are bent on killing anybody in sight or using them as incubators.

However, the film is still nowhere near as scary as the original 1979 Ridley Scott movie or as intense as the 1987 Predator.

What you can expect to see is several gory scenes involving both Aliens and Predators and ample amounts of blood splattered around.

The movie picks up where AVP left off, with a Pred-Alien chest popper coming out of a dead Predator on board their ship. The ship then crashes near a small town in the Colorado mountains, with a number of captured face huggers making a run for it and finding human hosts.

Thankfully (depending on your view), an SOS has been sent by a dying Pred crew member and another hunter is dispatched from the Pred world to clean up the mess.
