The Best Alien B-Movie Rip-Offs

July 1, 2021 by Gerald James

Oscar Wilde once said “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness” and Ridley Scott’s 1979 film Alien is as close to greatness as a sci-fi horror film can get but not even Scott himself could have foreseen the rip-offs that would follow in his ground-breaking film’s wake.

Plenty of films are inspired by Alien, even quite a few outside of either horror or sci-fi but some movies took it from homage to outright knock-off. Marvelous Videos rounds up the top nine of such rip-offs that while not original are still an absolute blast to watch.
