Humans will always be curious about whether or not we have galactic neighbors, and if they would be our friends or foes. Maybe the answers are in the stars or in secret government files. Until we know the truth, we have some great movies on Netflix about alien visitors. Minor spoilers ahead!

Have you ever had a nightmare that comes true? If so, you might be intrigued by the premise of the film Extinction. Thats exactly what happens to Peter, who begins having bad dreams about an invading force that comes to Earth, threatening the safety of his family and everything he holds dear. Little does he know that these disturbing nightmares would actually turn out to be premonitions. When he visits a psychiatrist to get to the root of these dreams, he encounters another patient whos been suffering from the same night terrors, and he begins to wonder if there is something bigger going on.

Unfortunately, Peters suspicions prove to be correct: one night, spaceships suddenly descend upon the city and attack. Peter and his wife manage to snag a weapon from one of the invading soldiers, and Peter utilizes the knowledge from his visions to protect his family, but his understanding of whats actually happening can only get them so far. Peter is about to discover that he was receiving these visions for a reason, and when he finds out why, the knowledge turns his life upside down.

A road trip with friends goes very, very wrong in The Signal. Three MIT students, Jonah, Nic, and Haley, are driving all the way across the United States. Haley is relocating to California, and the guys are coming along to help out with the move. Nic worries that Haleys new life will complicate his relationship with her. However, all of these troubles will soon fade into the background when the trio is faced with a much more dire threat.

As the three friends settle into their hotel room for the night, they discover that a hacker named NOMAD has been tracking them and found their location. This isnt their first run-in with the hacker. NOMAD almost got them expelled back at MIT when they were accessing the schools private servers. Nic and Jonah decide to get back at NOMAD by tracking the hackers location and heading to the abandoned house where he is supposedly hiding out. When they arrive, they find nothing, but when Haley is suddenly pulled into the sky, it becomes obvious that the group has stumbled into something they never could have imagined. Keep watching the video to see all the alien movies on Netflix that should be required viewing.
