Soldiers vs. Monsters movies

This is one of my favourite movie types, within the sci-fi/horror genre. It usually revolves around a group of soldiers being set in to rescue/investigate, being completely unprepared for what they face, and killed off one by one.
I've been putting a list together and would be interested to see if anyone can add to it:

Predator (1987) - special forces vs. alien hunter
Aliens (1986) - colonial marines vs. xenomorphs
Spectral (2016) - soldiers vs. ghosts
Dog Soldiers (2002) - british soldiers vs. werewolves
Resident Evil (2002) - special forces vs. zombies
Outpost (2008) - soldiers vs. nazi zombies
Doom (2005) soldiers vs. mutant monsters
Kill Command (2016) soldiers vs. killer robots

Monsters: Dark Continent

"Ten years on from the events of "Monsters", and the 'Infected Zones' have now spread worldwide. In the Middle East a new insurgency has begun. At the same time there has also been a proliferation of Monsters in that region."

Reviews were overly harsh imo. I enjoyed both movies.

Frankenstein's Army (2013) - Russian Soldiers vs Cobbled Together Monsters

"A squad of Russian soldiers must go to a remote East German village to locate missing comrades in the waning days of Word War II. Unearthing a plot to resurrect fallen soldiers, the squad becomes the target of cobbled-together monsters."

The Hills Have Eyes 2 remake. If you count people mutated by radiation.

Frankenstein's Army. (Dammit Padeen lol).

The Devil's Tomb.

Camel Spiders?

Ghosts of Mars.

Watched a low budget one with a Djinn killing soldiers in the gulf war. Can't remember the name but it was pretty bad. Think Jeremy London was in it.

Two Kiwi commandos are tasked with blowing up a Nazi camp just prior to the D Day invasion and encounter a demon
