Alien Predators is a mixed bag for sure! Disc #1- Side A- The sci-fi classic DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS (beware, some later editions of this collection have replaced triffids with the lesser "killers from space"). Giant carnivorous plants attempt to take over the world after blinding the vast majority of the populace (with a strange meteor shower). Can a small band of sighted heroes save the day? Side B- LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. All about a giant carnivorous plant (named Audrey Junior) and the boy who loves it. A Roger Corman masterpiece! Disc #2- Side A- GRAVEYARD TRAMPS (aka: INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS). Mutated "Bee girls" attempt to take over the world by... um... er... well, mating their male victims to death. Meanwhile, the head Bee girl is busy making her hive bigger. Lotsa nudity and laughs a plenty! Side B- TRACK OF THE MOON BEAST. A lunkhead gets beaned by a meteorite, which turns him into a murderous, reptilian psychopath. His girlfriend sticks by him anyway. Will true love prevail? A schlock fest. This double disc is definitely worth the cheap price! Don't miss it...

Bought this title to see Triffids, but Triffids was NOT included. What a disappointment.

This film is early 80's sci-fi. It appears to be an independent film of low budget. Their is one scene early on where a cow has been killed by something unseen and when wild dogs are eating it one of them gets sucked into the cow. This is the only exciting scene, everything else is very plain. The story continues on to explain of alien DNA found on the moon was being tested in space on lab animals. The satellite falls to earth crashing in Spain. Over a years time they experiment on the alien DNA until it gets loose and starts killing of the residents of a small town deep in Spain. The movie spends most of the time on useless chatter and rarely gets into exciting dialogue. At the conclusion only a few escape the town moments before an air strike believing they are free from the alien virus and incineration, only to find out they were wrong. The alien kills a store clerk. The film ends there and its up to you to imagine the outcome.

Okay, there's been a BIG mix up here. Well, maybe not so big in the grand scheme of things, but if you followed the DVD link from the imdb page for the film "Alien Predator", which stars Dennis Christopher and...other people, to this Amazon page, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS. Even though Amazon lists the details (cast, crew, etc.) as being that of the classic "Alien Predator", the actual product this page is selling is a boxed set containing 'Day of the Triffids', 'Graveyard Tramps', 'Track of the Moon Beast (featuring a man named Johnny Longbone), and the classic 'Little Shop of Horrors', NOT included in this box set, which is collectively titled "Alien Predators", is the actual FILM "Alien Predator". Buyer beware.

On that note, "Alien Predators" is a cool little b-horror movie, and it would be nice to actual see it on DVD. Although you'd laugh your way through most of it, there are actually a few scenes that are kinda' creepy.

While this movie may not be a great sci fi film, it is good if you want a little cheesy fun. Dennis Christopher (Breaking Away and Chariots of Fire), Martin Hewett, and Lynn-Holly Johnson (Ice Castles) star as three California teens who are traveling through Europe for the summer. They end up in Spain where years earlier a NASA space station had crashed landed. The space station contained an alien being who you never see though you hear skitter in the background and has the unfortunate ability to posess people and turn them into pod people. Our young heroes wind up being the only people in the small Spanish town not infected by the aliens and they must save themselves before they become infected as well. The only problem I had with the film is that some of the dialogue seemed like it had been dubbed into English. For example, the scene in which the three Americans are in a small resturant where they meet a man who worked with NASA and tells them about the project, the dialogue doesnt match the movements of his lips.

No Day of the Triffids in my set, as well.Was very disappointed as it would have been a great set. May send it back. I gave it 5 stars for Little Shop of Horrors and Graveyard Tramps. TO NOTE:Looking at all of the other reviews...all this time has passed and ,yet, no change has been made in the title

This collection does not include the movie "Day of the Triffids" despite what the title says. I sent it back.

Alien Predator and I go way back. I remember watching it on cable premium channels when i was younger. If you are looking for something with great plot, watch titanic. However if you like cheesy, simple plot, low budget horro films... this one is a good time.
