Book Review: Aliens vs. Predator Requiem Inside the Monster Shop

If you enjoyed the first making-of book Aliens vs Predator: Creature Effects of ADI, this book has plenty to offer.

Included are hundreds of photos and captions detailing how scenes in the movie were shot, such as what's used on location. This book is like a production diary explaining the things that happen during shooting.

The second half of the book is more interesting. There are sketches, photos and miniatures showing how the creatures and weapons in the movie were made. The photos are high resolution and zoomed in close to show subtle details.

There are captions all along, same goes for every page of the book. It's an incredibly in depth look behind the scenes.
