Book Reviews of Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem: Inside the Monster Shop

Book Review: Can you go wrong with an artbook?
Summary: 5 Stars

For someone like me, these are invaluable, being an artist myself. I've been in love with the Predator films since I was a kid, and Aliens was the first film I ever saw, as a young lad of 5 at the drive in. It sparked in me a deep need to be a part of something bigger, and as I have made my way through school, and into the real world now, actually making films, I find that inspiration is still something that can not only be gained everywhere, but most especially by the things you remember as a kid.
I will always remember these films, and this look into what went into making them, from sculpting the creatures, to designing them and the concept art behind it, is an invaluable tool. All of the pictures are accompanied by an explanation, which is wonderful in gleening an inside glimpse into just what went into making it, be it materials, time, or some tool you never thought to use.
I highly recommend this for anyone that even remotely loves these series.
