Aliens in Honor of 70 years since the Roswell Incident: Honorable Mentions

Over the next few weeks we will feature an alien film in honor of the 70 years that have passed since the Roswell Incident. None of them really have much to do with Roswell itself, but that shouldn't matter, alien movies are alien an important sub-genre to horror both then and now. That's why we present them to you randomly chosen, in no specific order, and in no way represents a complete list of horror aliens. If anything it is merely a smidgen of what extra-terrestrial horror has to offer the alien fan. That much said, here is a list of aliens in horror to celebrate 70 years since Roswell!

Honorably Mentioned...

Starship Troopers (1997)

"In the distant future, the Earth is at war with a race of giant alien insects. Little is known about the Bugs except that they are intent on the eradication of all human life. But there was a time before the war... A Mobile Infantry travels to distant alien planets to take the war to the Bugs."

One of the best/worst movies of the 90's that many of us still covet as one of the best/worst things that helped culture our growth and appreciation for the Science Fiction and Horror genre. Though we bugs invaded us first the humans are now the invading force. Enough laughter and horror to go around with plenty of sequels to keep the pain going. At least there was life after the first film for Richards, Meyer, and Harris. Casper Van Dien on the other hand has made a career out of acting badly. Look for more Paul Verhoeven films, he is the best satirical society director you've ever seen.

Bad Taste (1987)

"Gun-toting assassins try to wipe out a group of aliens that wants to use humans in New Zealand for food."

Peter Jackson's humble beginnings started with this ultra low budget, goofily comedic, alien invasion gore-fest. Eventually it would overshadowed by 'Dead Alive', but since those weren't aliens, then this much overlooked fiesta of an alien invasion is the one to check out.
