Tremors [DVD] [1990]
7.  Tremors [DVD] [1990] DVD ~ Kevin Bacon
The list author says:
  "Tongue-in-cheek semi-pastiche of 1950s B-movies in which desert townsfolk are forced to defend themselves against subterranean monsters, with surprisingly good SFX."

An American Werewolf in London [Blu-ray][Region Free]
8.  An American Werewolf in London [Blu-ray][Region Free] DVD ~ David Naughton
The list author says:

The Fly [Blu-ray]
9.  The Fly [Blu-ray] 
The list author says:

Starship Troopers [Blu-ray]
10.  Starship Troopers [Blu-ray] DVD ~ Casper Van Dien
The list author says:
  "Explicitly gory comic book sci-fi set in a fascist future. Handled with a breath-taking style and ironic sense of humour which also mocks propaganda war films. (Features a fun directors' commentary.)"

Gremlins [Blu-ray] [1984][Region Free]
12.  Gremlins [Blu-ray] [1984][Region Free] 
The list author says:
  "Entertaining semi-parody of 1950s horror movies which satirises the sentimental morals of Frank Capra with the added bonus of modern SFX. (Look out for Spielberg in a drive-by cameo.)"
£7.49   Used & New from: £5.97

Little Shop of Horrors [DVD] [1986]
13.  Little Shop of Horrors [DVD] [1986] DVD ~ Rick Moranis
The list author says:
  "Marvellously kitsch comedy-musical based on the Faustian legend which humourously combines 1950s nostalgia with amazing effects and a sing-a-long soundtrack."
£3.49   Used & New from: £0.74
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (59 customer reviews)

Arachnophobia [DVD] [1991]

Lake Placid [2000] [DVD]
15.  Lake Placid [2000] [DVD] DVD ~ Bridget Fonda
The list author says:
  "Brusque monster movie with a good cast playing to a witty script by 'Ally McBeal' writer David E. Kelley, who concentrates on sardonic characterisations as well as scares."
£5.97   Used & New from: £1.24

The Host [Blu-ray]
16.  The Host [Blu-ray] 
The list author says:
  "Strangely offbeat yet at the same time quite conventional Korean monster movie in which an irresponsible father pursues a mutant maneater in Seoul's Han River. The first attack sequence is thrilling."
£9.00   Used & New from: £4.53

Cloverfield [Blu-ray] [2008]
17.  Cloverfield [Blu-ray] [2008] 
The list author says:
  "Post 9/11 giant monster-shocker conceptually filmed as if documented on a handheld camcorder which adds some realism to the bombastic story, but some may find it nausea-inducing."
£7.99   Used & New from: £2.99

Predator - Ultimate Hunter Edition [Blu-ray] [1987]
18.  Predator - Ultimate Hunter Edition [Blu-ray] [1987]

Alien Vs Predator (2 Disc Extreme Edition) [2004] [DVD]
19.  Alien Vs Predator (2 Disc Extreme Edition) [2004] [DVD] DVD ~ Sanaa Lathan
The list author says:
  "Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some franchise fans don't like this crossover - I do. (It picks up left over ideas from the first Alien film.) And this 2-disc edition has a wealth of extras."
£2.50   Used & New from: £0.01

The Terminator - Definitive Edition [DVD]
20.  The Terminator - Definitive Edition [DVD] DVD ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
The list author says:
  "Classic fatalistic sci-fi action: It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
£5.23   Used & New from: £0.40

Deep Rising [DVD] [1998]
21.  Deep Rising [DVD] [1998] DVD ~ Treat Williams
The list author says:
  "Fun but less-intelligent combination of 'Die Hard' and 'Aliens' that is fortunately saved by self-mocking humour, efficient scares and a fast pace."
£3.97   Used & New from: £1.27

Deep Blue Sea [1999] [DVD]
22.  Deep Blue Sea [1999] [DVD] DVD ~ Thomas Jane
The list author says:
  "Tongue-in-cheek, entertaining and neatly presented grisly shark-shocker that doesn't say anything 'Jaws' and its sequels hasn't covered except for a progression in SFX."
£2.79   Used & New from: £0.24
