A part of that is in Predators (2010)

This is verbatim the plot of Jeremy Robinson's 30 Seven https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/242460569-30seven

Even better if the aliens have no concept of a serial killer so they have no frame of reference for the horror they have brought upon themselves.

[–] kopasz7@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

They conclude it is normal human behavior and decide to leave us the fuck alone, like we do with the sentinel islands.

Look, I already bought my hypothetical ticket, you and the_riviera_kid don't have to sell this thing to me harder!

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 3 points 57 minutes ago

This is kinda/sorta the plot of Alien, just with the species reversed. I love it. You could change the setup where the aliens respond to a distress call from a "Space Family Robinson in stasis" situation.

Jurassic Park, but a future civilization of tiny beings tries to bring back various species of the Cenezoic Era, especially humans, among a few planets in a backwater star system . Chaos ensues. They lose control, evacuate, and slag the planets from orbit on the way out. Unbeknownst to them, a corrupt employee loses a vial of prokaryotes while trying to smuggle it out to a rival faction. It's smashed and washed into the sea in the process. The employee gets eaten by a frilled lizard. Billions of years later, that region of the galaxy is still quarantined. The descendants of the surviving prokaryotes look up at the stars hungrily from the surface of a tiny blue dot.

Would absolutely watch! A good director would make you torn between rooting for the killer and his family and rooting for the aliens.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

The family doesn't know, he has to pretend to be just as scared as they are and hide his murder-joy when they're present. They think he's abandoning them in a moment of panic when he's on the hunt.

If aliens were to abduct someone I'd think they would want someone who's alone and out of sight of most people. So it's probably going to be someone farther from the cities, and just walking by themself. So they might abduct someone out hunting, or they might abduct a someone hopped up on meth wandering through back roads or swamp areas of Polk County, Florida.

Either way, they probably got more than they bargained for.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 21 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Heck, have the aliens try to abduct some wildlife and then it turns out they picked up the cocaine bear. Play it as an action comedy from the perspective of the aliens.

Bonus points if they then abduct a human hunter to deal with it and he turns out to be the deranged serial killer from the post.

Alien vs Predator from the aliens perspective.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Aliens abduct Florida Man?

This actually already happened, the Aliens had to put him back and all his friends just wrote it off as a meth high. After seeing what 1 human was like the aliens fucked off and said it wasn't worth trying to cohabitate with us.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I look forward too watching this in 10 years when Hollywood adapts it. Or in 2 years when someone slops it out as an ai vid

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 hour ago

2 years? They're probably slopping it out right now!

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Are we the ~~baddies~~ Alien?

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Pic unrelated, that's my buddy Jake after a Jam making accident

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago

It's not exactly what's described here, but anyone to whom the idea appeals may enjoy the movie Sunshine.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

This is basically the Mothership Zeta DLC for Fallout 3...

[–] CyberneticOwl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

sound of Hollywood execs calling Bob Odenkirk
