Top Sci-Fi Horror Films From the Last 25 Years as Ranked by IMDb Users1 of 20
20. Alien³ (1992) and Prometheus (2012) – Ratings: 6.4 and 7.0
After Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien (8.5 rating) and James Cameron's 1986 Aliens (8.4) came a few lower-rated follow-ups in the same universe, including two with Sigourney Weaver's Ripley: David Fincher's Alien³ and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Alien: Resurrection, whose rating just missed this cut.
Most recently, Ridley Scott returned to his Alien roots for Prometheus. That philosophical film had the highest average user rating of the newer (post-'90s) Alien films, although nothing close to the originals. That's the danger of sequels and reboots: They rarely live up to the originals ... as you'll continue to see on this list.
