A new film which brings together two infamous monsters in a chaotic clash once again has failed to impress critics.

Aliens Vs Predator: Requiem grossed only $9,515,615 (£4.8m) on its opening day in the US, and has been slammed by critics for its script and fight sequences.

The movies tells the story of a Predator scout ship which crashes in the hills outside a US town, releasing Alien facehuggers and a new hybrid.

A man and his son soon become the first victims of the aliens, and when a Predator receives news of the crash, he comes to Earth sparking chaos in the town.

The film is the sequel to 2004's Alien vs Predator.
