A little bit of information about the clip they showed at the Amsterdam Cinema Expo has been found on a Dutch film blog called Hollywood.blog.nl. Diablo_Rosso on IMDB translated the text and said this:
“There’s not much info about what was shown at the Cinema Expo in Amsterdam but I did manage to find a small mention on a Dutch website about their reaction to the footage. Apparently, they screened two scenes from the movie and the footage resembled more of a slasher film with the Alien and Predator caught in the middle. They go on to mention something about the film being very bloody, which may be something to look forward to, but the author of the article seemed to have more of a “wait and see” attitude. Like I said, not much information and the translation was rough but at least we know they showed something visceral enough to be compared to a “slasher” movie.”
Hmm, well… a lot of die-hard fans were concerned that AvP2 would be like a slasher flick. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. It’ll be a step up from AvP either way. Thanks to Darkoo for the news.
Update: Colin posted his response to this article in the forum.

I don't know what to think.
Hmm sounds like a double edged sword. I like Slasher films but slasher films are not liked by all people. I trust the Strause brothers, i think they have a great potential and they will show that it was a good decision to gave them AvP 2. I hope so ;) But for me this is good news and it fits to the announcement that AvP 2 will be a hard film! Regards BloodRaiN
i dont get it ???
im not sure about this
Nothing can be qworse than AVP so I am...........
Well, when they said the movie would be "very hardcore, very R" what did people expect? A comedy with Aliens and Predators? The original movies weren't slasher flicks like the Nightmare and Halloween movies, so this can only be bad news. I guess people should be careful what they wish for: they wanted a more intense film and this is what we got.
I don’t know, basically a slasher flick is about is a group of teens who get killed of one after another until they good looking girl and guy kill the bad guy and survive, still I don’t know, we have to wait and see, though I doubt the story will be like this but we do have the teens in it :-\
I don't know how they can watch 2 scenes and say it's a slasher flick, I mean come on. They probably watched 2 of the more intense scenes of the movie and jumped to conclusions, like 90 percent of the people on this site. To me this is only good news.
Nah. I can't see it. I just think we'll end up with some AR/P2 style violence.
I don't really know what to think either.. Not exactly shocking news though for whatever reason. This news neither excites me or angers me.
I agree with the corpral it'll just end up as being comic style gore like in AR and P2. But then again I dnt see how they could assume it's a slasher flick from just 2 scenes? I don't know what to think!
Mr. Weyland I agree with you.
lets pray its just them 2 scense
I'm not worried, lots of blood doesn't mean a slasher flick. They were most likely trying to reference the amount of blood. I think the Aliens are gonna be bad-ass and ruthless. Chestburster scenes are bloody and so are skinned trophies.
I know exactly what to think, f**king yesss!!! Im all for gore and blood, bring back predator 1 and 2 violence, very good news, i want an hard r kick ass movie and we get it, i can not get happier.
eh theyre gonna need a lot of blood and violence to make up for the first AVP *shutters just thinking about the PG/G violence*
I am all for the violence aswell.. the more violent they make this the better, for the love of god this is A V P 2!!
Those who don't like it can go watch AVP - the kids version. Because you still sleep in your parent's bed. :D Btw, I hate it when they cut away instead of seeing the gore.
ok people I think that there is to much of a fuss about this I mean this is only one guy's opinion!!! I whant to see scenes were military dudes are trying to fight the threat and have a couple of chest burstings,predator decapitating some marin and aliens attacking poor soldier. I'm happy with the news... go strause bros go!!!
Ha it's gonna be good i can tell bring o nthe gore! Not overused but just enough .. I believe colin and greg are going in the totally roght direction with this. This guys view doesn't bother me ill decide for myself when its released! ;D
Hey think about it its AVP 2 being called a slasher flick not an ALIEN 5 or PREDATOR 3. No offense to anyone or anything itll be good but the future films will not resemble slashers/.
If there are any future films.
Say yes to humor me. ;D
The guy who said that AvP 2 is a slasher flick is an idiot Aliens and Predator is supose to be bloody this guy is probably confusing AvP for freddy vs jason f**king idiot AvP 2 might be a little bit of a slasher because of the teens but they are being hunted by Pred and Alien and PredAlien
i kinda wish AvP 2 would have bin like AvP 2 the Pc game set in the Alien future classic AvP
AvP 2 should give back the classic feel of Aliens and Predator cause of the gore but it wont bring back the classic Alien future concept but think of it as predator 4 after Paul Andersons AvP f**ked up the Alien future concept both films being set on Earth i see them as Predator sequals they bring the Aliens to this planet The Alien saga starts off in the future when mankind has colonized diffrent worlds "Aliens movies" AvP is mostly about the preds and the Aliens being trophies
I'm worried that the film will be too bloody because really most of the Alien and predator films weren't that gorey so why should this one be anyone here agree.
Thats the problem with you people, the alien movies werent gory and bloody, but the predator movies were, so i want this movie so bloody again, f**k the alien movies, i want predator violence.
AvP2 = Slasher Flick? Hey, better than AvP2 = Comedy Flick? Right?! Nah, seriously...I think Jonny has a point here. I would even say that most of the AvP comic books were always more predator than alien. People expecting an alien movie here will be dissapointed.
Yeah, this movie seems to be for the Predator fans. Might as well call it Predator 3.
dont know what the hell u guys base that off of...
I would not say that this is an Predator movie at all, some people say that avp was more an predator then an alien movie, i think its more an alien movie with preds in it, we just have to wait and see people, its that simple.
I am amazed at how some of you here will believe an oppinion of someone you do not know. Its an oppinion, not fact. Give yourselfs a bit of credit and wait until you watch the movie with your own eye's.
This guy gave "his" view on 2 clips of the movie that aren't the final product. Those 2 clips had temp. effects. The one thing that I think we all agree on is it is "bloody" violent. The way is should be!
hum... I know this may sound stupid but what exactly is a slasher film?
A slasher film, pretrix, is a film like Friday the 13th, Halloween, Childs Play, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Etc...
...
thanks man!!! (the dude) ;D
Well at least its not going to b popcorn flick..
sarcasm or serious/
So what we're basically in for is "AvP2: A New Nightmare on Friday the 13th in the town of Perfection (tremors)"?
AvP2 = Slasher Flick?
QuoteHey, better than AvP2 = Comedy Flick? Right?! Nah, seriously...I think Jonny has a point here. I would even say that most of the AvP comic books were always more predator than alien. People expecting an alien movie here will be dissapointed.
Yeah, Im starting to think that too. Most of the news Colin ever told us was about predators, nothing about the aliens except, there will be a hybrid and chains. I can only imagine how the aliens will be treated in this movie. Hopefully, the directors didn't forget to work as hard on the aliens as they did on the predators.
This doesnt surprise me. I think when they originally planned this movie it was in the middle of the "torture porn", gorey horror movie trend. Hostel 1, the Saw movies, Final Destination, etc... were all making alot of money. That trend has seemed to fade a little bit though. They may have just missed the wave. Im glad its going to be graphic though. Being graphic doesnt automatically mean its torture porn or a "slasher" movie. If its part of a movie with a good story it just makes it that much better imo. Im getting much more positive about this movie. I think theres going to be a lot of surprises that were/I'm not expecting, especially with creatures that we havent seen before. I think its cool that the military is going to be involved too (like in Aliens). I just hope they kick a little ass and arent made to look like incompetents, which is what youd expect from liberal Hollywood today.
For the last damn time AvP and AvP 2 are Predator sequels The Predators are the main problem and the Aliens are bread into the hunt because if the predators for the Alien films the humans are at the wrong Worlds or ships at the wrong time
Ermac more like Eight legged Freaks, meets Critters 2, meets Resident Evil 2
AvP 2 will be good I want the Pred Alien I wonder if there will be any runners (dogs) in this movie the more Aliens the better lets just hope there is not zoo near bye Kenner AvP :)
heres hoping there will be dog aliens aswell as well as normal warriors running around the town... tho i think with the predalien now included they ll just have normal warriors. the dog alien (in my opinion) was the best looking/designed alien since the first original alien... i think alienS vs predator will be great from what the brothers have been saying... i want full acid spitting/melting, tongue stabbing, tail poking, blood curdling screams & facehugging terror!!!
I'M WITH YOU COCKROACH ;D
I'm psyched. *shrug* I assume the clip was just kind of taken out of context. If you just saw a violent moment from an "Alien" or "Predator" movie, without witnessing the whole thing in it's entirety, you might just see them as just another monster movie. Even something like "Silence of the Lambs" or "Interview with the Vampire". If you JUST saw a certain moment, you might see it as a standard slasher. I trust the Strause bros. to give us a nice visual style and I'm pumped to see some alien-related violence. I have faith in this sequel.
"For the last damn time AvP and AvP 2 are Predator sequels" <------ That statment is just your oppinion. Aliens Vs. Predator is the sequel to the 1st AVP. These 2 movies are not sequels to the Predator movies. After Aliens Vs. Predator is released there are plans to make a 3rd Predator movie. Just as long as Aliens Vs Predator does well. It may not even be a sequel. There has been talk of them starting the Predator series over....kinda. A fresh start if you will.
i think so to!
look people this can't be a vulgar saw or hostel film it has to be classic and smart . Imean I have seen saw and it was ok but nothing special Aliens vs predator has to be spectaculour!!! ;D
I bet anything that this film has something to do with the end of the Ressurection!!! (Remember? Desert, no life...)=>maybe kinda big BOOM in the end by Preds? Who knows? ::)
don't think that the predator blast could go all the way to europe!!! unless it's a super self destruct wich I doubt. :-\
It may have slasher movie gore, but I highly doubt it has slasher movie gayness. ;D ;D ;D
this movie should go straight to DVD
CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, ALTOUGH ALIEN 5 OR AN AVP3 WOULD MAKE NICE ADDITIONS TOO!
I THINK A SLASHERFLICK DOES HAVE POTENTIAL AS LONG AS IT STAYS TRUE TO THE CHARACTERS AND WON'T DISREGARD PREVIOUS MOVIES, YOUR THOUGHTS?
you guys need to chill, you have to understand that other countries view slasher films differently, and it was only two clips with intense fighting and gore n or blood using out just like we would expect. im really exited about this
