Which fictional alien race do you find the scariest?



ID4 for me. Predators at least have a code of honor. Xenomorphs are nasty but essentially mindless.

The Harvesters are technologically advanced, have no concern whatsoever for the species they exterminate, and are implied to be a literal universal threat.

You know as mediocre as ID4 2 was I'd still like to see a sequel/how the story ended (the last of the resistance)

Xenomorphs were originally capable of sexual assault. Thats pretty terrifying.

arguably thats what appears to happen in Covenant

Agreed.. felt like all the interesting characters were killed off and mystery was expositioned in the first third..

The xenomorphs. I would not want to be in the same room as one.

Predators dont attack ppl that dont wanna fight right?

Harvesters idk about

Pre-reveal of the aliens(the actual aliens, not the tripods) in War of the World(Spielberg) is some of the scariest aliens in cinema.

Great use of practical effects and music.

Predators are beings with reason and honor

Harvesters can be fought. We saw its possible to take them down

Xenomorphs freak me out. I feel like I'd have the least chance of survival with them

Correct

Which is basically what happened in the first movie to that one chick. And the Xenomorph gets all weird at the end with Ripley. Its heavily implied.

Covenant was crazy. The first one to go on the planet IIRC was the homosexual Mexican by being impregnated with an alien that slithers out of his mouth ~ Its implied that David fetishized Shaw & IIRC the 3rd person to die was an African American female who was mauled to death by a the alien that came out of the cigarette smoking guy ~ THEN the other chick literally blew herself up on accident trying to defend against said Alien. It was really sad tbh. And THEN David has the Captain impregnated by the actual Xenomorph eggs while taunting him about the existence of God. presumably as revenge over the Captain killing the Neomorph & to top it all off David captures the ship at the end of the movie & plans on using the entire crew for Xenomorph experiments. End of story. Have a nice day.

Oh yes, I remember that scene in the original, never thought about it!

And yes the whole movie was just "let's see if we can make everything more hopeless than the last scene"

Remember when Ash stuff the rolled up tube down Ripleys throat? In the commentary, Scott explains that this was to represent Ashs sexual frustration.

Xenomorphs were designed to be creatures of fear.

Predators are more badass than scary.

Harvesters are pretty scary but not more than xenos.

Supplemental material told that the alien killed Lambert by stabbing through her head and hanging her from the ceiling. I never really liked the scene where it ran its tail up her leg, because I just don't believe it's capable of what that implies.

The Borg. Fucking relentless, and they adapt quickly, one or two phaser shots, and they all become immune to that EM band setting.

Not anymore, but it's a technical great that aged super well, considering it came out in 79? The setting and set pieces can still horrify however.

it helps if you dont ignore a big part of the post.

the tripods were an unstoppable force, could be anywhere, and made human purees. the bloodroots were great.

That was "Mars Attacks"(1996). It freaked me out when I was young also but saw it recently and as it's a Dark Comedy the movie is actually pretty hilarious.

Out of that list I would vote Independence Day type aliens. They want to annihilate everything while Predators just want to hunt some of us and the Xenomorphs are just animals that hunt because of instinct.

xenomorph and its not even close. predators are just asshole hunters, and the independence day aliens are apparently so stupid you can apparently infect their fleet with a shit computer virus.

the xenomorph though, if they made it to earth we'd be fucked. some of the books that expand on those monsters are scary as hell.

Nah, the Borg. Just one ship can destroy an entire planet, assimilate the entire species and move on in a day.
