1. Alien
I know it’s cliche and I’ll probably get a load of flak for it but fuck it. I don’t actually like that film that much, I enjoy it but I don’t think lives up to the hype but you have to put it in context, the creature is fucking scary. And the best thing the film does is perfectly build up the suspense and tension to the creatures reveal each time so it scares you shitless even more. The Xenomorph is like a completely fucked up distorted creature where the feature that hits you first is the elongated head with the scary as shit mouth and what I was saying earlier about insects (you’re probably bored of me talking about insects) incorporates into why the creature is so scary but in a different way. We find certain insects birth systems so gruesome and disgusting and Alien uses this to it’s advantage. It fucking implants a parasitic larvae in a living host which then breaks out, that is horrendous. Fuck that.
