The All-Time Scariest Sci-Fi Movies!
Phil Pirrello decided to rank The 25 Scariest Sci-Fi Movies Ever Made. I decided to play along using just his top five to see how we’d compare. The results are below…
|
Pirrello |
Zablo |
|
1. The Thing (1982) |
1. Alien: Because we had never seen a creature like this and because anyone in the cast could die the scare factor was increased. |
|
2. Alien (1979) |
2. The Thing: Watch the blood test scene and tell me that The Thing doesn’t belong in the top two. I dare ya! |
|
3. The Fly (1986) |
3. Aliens: If the colonial marines can’t stand up to them, what can? (Congrats to Sigourney Weaver for making the top 3 with two different directors!) |
|
4. Aliens (1986) |
4. The Fly: Equal parts scary and gory. |
|
5. The Invisible Man (2020) |
5. The Invisible Man: was much better than I thought it would be. |
Other films in Pirrello’s list that I would have rated higher: Pitch Black; 10 Cloverfield Lane; Us; Predator; A Quiet Place; and Terminator.
