Ok, I can't stop talking about facehuggers lol but I want to see more of those creepy little things. I'm sick of just having a brief scene showing a facehugger leaping onto someone's face.
It'd be good if we could get another scene like in Aliens when the facehuggers tried to get Ripley and Newt.
The mention of a baby in the movie sounds promising... hmm I wonder what the Strauses have planned there. :P
What I want to see is a scene where the Facehuggers are the main threat. I'm talking about a substantial chase sequence here too, like through the school or something. Or in someone's house. How freaking creepy would it be to have just ONE of these things in your house with you? I'd love to see some old couple try and battle one off and have it be funny/scary at the same time somehow.

Why would you want it to be funny? Facehuggers are the opposite of funny. They're terrifying. They face-rape you!
It'd be awesome if facehuggers came into a school.
Just imagine it:
A bunch of bored kids sit in front of a dull teacher, scribbling stuff on a blackboard.
All of a sudden a clattering is heard, like a rat scurrying across the floor.
A kid sticks his hand up and tells the teacher that he thinks theres a rat or something in the class.
The teacher tells him to ignore it, its more scared of him than he is of it. A couple kids giggle at that.
The kid is still uneverd, clattering noises sound every now and then, as he sticks up his hand to tell the teacher again, a facehugger leaps out of nowhere and clamps to his face. Everyone screams and more and more facehuggers start crawling in from open windows, vents, everywhere.

I was picturing the old couple in Gremlins fighting a facehugger and it was funny. But I did contradict myself. I want Fachugger's to be the scariest thing ever again.
Yeah, once you get one on, your screwed.
The thought of getting one of those slimy, phalic tubes slide down your throat is creepy.

You'd forget all about it though, an hour or so before your chest explodes after your innerds are eaten.
I think that most directors have shied away from showing too much of the facehuggers because of the face rape concept.
Just imagine showing what it would be like to have a facehugger clamp on your face - you try to scream as it shoves it's tube down your throat and then everything goes black.
dont like the school suggestion (im hoping the script tries to disguise the fact these creatures are on earth as much as possible) but i think the idea of a facehugger being a main threat is great...like a whole scene devoted to them would be seriously cool.

Thats a great idea, having a facehugger inside a house is a great idea especially if the power went out or something and then the all you heard was the facehugger crawling around and then the people try to sneak out and then one of the people think their free and then the facehugger jumps out of no where and face hugs the guy.
Quotelike a whole scene devoted to them would be seriously cool.
That's officially what I'll be most dissapointed about if I don't see in the movie.

Yeah, wtf. If he was conscious - shouldn't he have tried to get the hugger off his face? loll
I was surprised at how much of the facehugger they showed in AVP. We saw phallic tube and everything. I guess the MPAA doesn't see the resemblance.
Especially that shot in the flash back, where we get a close up of the facehuggers tube...

In 1979 they had to change the design of the eggs because it looked too much like a vagina opening but now they are blatantly putting it on the facehuggers and no one cares. :P
The scary thing about Facehuggers is that they look like both.

I kinda like that idea, except for the swarm of facehuggers part. That doesn't really make any sense. One would be scary enough. In fact, I like the idea of a kid getting facehugged. Then they take him to the hospital and try to get it off. It could be like another version of the same scene from Alien. Lots of tension.
I think the teacher should get it first and the kids all scream and run out.

Actually... Yeah, that idea's great. My idea was petty much, in my mind, to be put after lots of eggs have been made.

Too predictable. Just imagine a medium close up of the kid putting his hand up, then suddenly without cutting away a facehugger leaps into shot onto his face.
Hell, it'd make me jump. :|
or just have the teacher at the board and all of a sudden a tail comes thru the chalk board then thru the teacher and the kids all scream!
I actually don't really like the idea of the classroom in an Alien movie. I'd rather it be much creepier. A kid sleeping soundly in his sleep. A glimpse of alien like fingers appear over his bedside. The next morning, his parents find a facehugger attached to his face and rush him to the hospital. More people are also coming in complaining of chest pains...
Okay...I know this might start a war but here's my two sense on the facehugger topic...I don't really like the idea of a bunch of facehuggers attacking a group of people...I always got out of the movies that the facehugger is more of an ambush attacker and only really attacks from the eggs when it senses a victim nearby...the facehuggers that attacked Ripley and Newt where already on someones face prior to being removed before 'embryo implantation' and then subsequently attacked them because they were being held in jars...in other words it originally attacked from the egg and then attacked them because it was left no choice...having the facehuggers hatch for no reason and running around was really only seen in AvP, and that to me was one of the many reasons it sucked...I would much rather see the facehuggers attacking people that are being held at the hive or a drone alien could bring an egg to someplace where people are sleeping and have it attack then or a similar situation as the two facehuggers that attacked Ripley and Newt, like at a hospital or something...

Well the class room idea i absolutelly love but in almost all horro movie you have a bit that makes you laugh. how bout this. the same idea but the teacher is talking about some beurocratic bull shit then get angry at the kid for complaining about the 'rat' then the facehugger jumps on the TEACHERS face and all the kids laugh scream 'YEAH" and run out the class, then a kid comes back and writes graffiti on the facehugger...

Then how did the all of the colonists in Hadley's Hope get hugged? In the beginning there would have been only one alien (Newt's dad's chestburster).
It's probably one of lifes mysteries that if you found the answer for would drive you mad...
... well what have you noticed about Weyland Yutani, or humans in general, we are curious bad'asses that would unleash hell to get a closer look... man you humans can right gal'jortaes sometimes

I can't remember if it's the novel or script but the rest of the colonists go back to the Derelict after Newt's Dad goes to the colony. A load of colonists get infected and taken back to the colony. And there's your infestation.
Interesting but what does this have to do with AVP2? anyone?

Maybe more colonists went back to the derelict to investigate what exactly happened and where it happened, keep in mind this is a colony of scientists, explores, and engineers; and they would be eager to investigate this new form of life and were it came from...more people got facehugged, they were brought back to the colony and one of them eventually gave birth to the queen...the question is in the numbers...lets say Newts dad birthed a regular drone, someone else a queen, maybe some other people gave birth to 2 more drones...at that point theres 3 drones and 1 queen...the queen would molt and soon begin to lay eggs...and the 3 drones start collecting hosts...next thing you know there's a massive amount of aliens being birthed and then not too far later there was a major attack, ergo, "last stand," "must of been a hell of a fight."
Personally I would like to see how the aliens go about amassing in numbers in the town were AsvP is set...that would be cool to see since we never have before...

There you go...
If you think about it this is the frst aliens movie set in the 'real world' in the first one it was a mining ship with only ten peopl on it(you know) then in Aliens it's some colony thats only been there for a few years, Aliens 3 was a prison colony at 'the ass end of space lol' then Alen REssurection was on another ship only it was a wcience ship.

they wont use that. this movie is already set and they wont have that creature in it. the only one that I would want to see is the ravager from that game.
If lots of people get taken to hospital after getting 'huggered' won't this lead to a problem with continuity - unless everyone they interact with plus all hospital records and CCTV is then destroyed?
I would find it far scarier to be huggered in the middle of nowhere and left there to die a lonely death (isn't there a rumour of a father and son hunting trip getting attacked?). I imagine them stuck to a tree by Alien resin while the drones emerge.
or caught in a Pred net one of the two

The script for Alien Resurrection had this concept in it that I loved... an alien moving along that has a facehugger riding on its head, skitting around the dome constantly until the alien passes by a potential host and the 'hugger finally leaps off. I'd like to see that in a movie someday. I get the feeling that this movie probably won't be overloaded with facehuggers though... if the aliens actually had the opportunity to form a beachhead on Earth, complete with loads of eggs, we'd all be screwed in our little cornholes!
My idea is to have the queen give orders to the eggs for them to open, about 50 eggs, and later that day all the facehuggers would travel along the resin covered sewer lines, and attack many places, and one of them being a school, where all the kids get facehugged, in a short amount of time. That would be scary, or have facehuggers attack a baby nursery. Jesus, that would be sad.

What...the...f**k...?
Thank God they took that out of the movie.
Well I don't know...if maybe the facehuggers clung to the drone's back, around the dorsal tubes...I don't think that would look too bad, at least better than them chillin' on their heads...and better than having facehuggers running around like cockroaches...

Please to be explaining how this is not an awesome visual.
I did ask the directors if we might see some 'creative' use of the facehuggers and chestbursters this time, as with Ripley and Newt, but there was no reply.

Anderson did plenty of that. :)
I was disappointed they didn't show the sacrificial maiden from the side after it moved over her face, however. It would have been more horrific to see the very last of her expression before it covered her completely, with the sight of that tube sliding out, too.
Am not sure why that director had them moving slow. It was probably to emphasis the creeping horror stuff, but he should have realised the movement didn't look realistic and then switched it for how they acted with Ripley and Newt. Creeping up to gain position, but then leaping.
The clamping thing would work better with inertia behind it.
Yeah but remember that a facehugger only attacks if in danger, who was gonna stop the sacrifice? no-one so whats the point of moving fast

I don't think Ripley, Kane or Newt (free or cocooned) exhibited anything like the sort of behaviour expected of something threatening, in any way.
I was disappointed in the lack of facehugger action in AVPR. Hopefully one day an Alien movie will once again exploit the true horror that is the facehugger. Not this time around, however - only two scenes of them, and both were very short. :(
I love that shot at the beginning where you see the facehugger scurrying through the forest at high speed. Quick but good.
QuoteYeah, but thats what i hated about AVP, Verheiden or whatever his name was (redshirt #4) concious while being faceraped.
In terms of continuity it's not too great but the thought of drifting in and out of conciousness while you're being impregnated is pretty disturbing to me. I never liked the idea that you just instantly pass out when the hugger hits you either, I think I remember reading passages from the script that described Kane's experience as he was being hugged and it was creepy as hell.

I prefer the last sentence to changed to : More facehuggers appear and start clamping onto the other kids and teacher's faces.
I loved the facehugger sewer scene, didn't see that scene coming. The one guy was fighting the hugger, while the legs were moving like crazy, poor hobo, it was too late for him.
