10 Most Dangerous Cinematic Aliens
1. Alien - Xenomorph
With its cunning matching its menacing nature and dangerous physiology, this is the ultimate predator.
When the crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo encounter a distress signal, they are contractually obliged to investigate. What they end up bringing back is a parasitoid life form that grows almost twice the human height within a few hours and bleeds acid, making it nearly invincible.
The crew gets picked off one by one and a similar thing occurs in Aliens, when a bunch of Xenomorphs outsmarts a group of marines.
Alien 3 finds one of these charmers wreaking havoc in a space prison colony, while one of Alien: Resurrection’s best scenes involves three of these creatures planning an escape from a lab.

A monster with an absolute contempt for other species and a clever hunter with several ways to kill at their disposal, this is a creature not to be trifled with.
