A grieving woman goes insane after her child is kidnapped.
A horror. It's a horror. It's a slow plodding drama that eventually gets around to a very light mystery and then a horror. A bad one.

A sample from Mars comes out of hibernation.
If you end the movie at the correct point, then it's a fine movie. Otherwise it's shit.

A girl goes insane or maybe it's aliens; who knows.
It had a lot of hope, but the writer changed anti-psychotic prescriptions mid-way and the movie went stupid.

Young adults go on a vacation on Labor Day weekend, but their neighbor has an abduction story.
Overall a decent enough movie with a weak ending. It could have had a lot more subtlety and explanation woven throughout to create a more complete movie-universe.

People have a refreshing nap and wake up to be suspiciously-nice.
A remake of a remake of an adaptation of a book. And it shows. At least Nicole Kidperson is hot.
Be certain to skip the first couple of minutes; they are a horrible horrible spoiler.
A remake of:
Futureworld - (1976 movie) has a similar theme.

Survivors of an alien attack crash next to a prison and learn that the alien came with them.
This was my first movie with a shaved-headed woman. I guess I was all "oh no she di'int, now wesa gettin serioooos".
In my mind, the franchise was significantly weakened by this movie. It just didn't "feel right". Perhaps the previous two were so good that they became too tough to follow, but after yet another re-watch this movie really just doesn't seem all that good.
Properly titled ALIEN3

Waking from long hibernation, a woman claims to be the survivor of an alien attack from a planetoid which has since become a terraforming colony.
A direct descendent of Alien - (1979 movie), this movie not only builds on but improves on the movie, turning this into a blockbuster franchise.

A crew of civilians investigates a distress beacon, but it turn out to be a warning that they were too late to heed.
Alien is another "first to get there" movie which has set the bar for its sub-genre.
It has a dirty old-but-futuristic look to it that really stretches its technological and budgetary limitations. As it turns out, this has given the movie incredible longevity. For a movie as old as this, it easily stands the test of time.

College kids go on vacation out into the woods, and everything goes horribly wrong when misunderstandings spiral out of reason.
A great movie with a great tone. Really fun to watch, but, as with most of its peers, it's great for just the one watch.

A woman is abducted for a mind-control experiment. Hilarity ensues.
This is not "experimental science fiction". This is outright horror.
I think I've seen this before, but blocked it out of my memory.
