15 Most Terrifying Movie Aliens Of All Time
5. The Arachnids/Bugs (Starship Troopers)
If you're the kind of person who finds earthly creepy crawlies unnerving, can you imagine how you'd feel if you discovered an planet full of giant ones with razor sharp claws, legs, teeth and even a pointed head? Yeah, probably best not to think about it.
If you do want to continue reading, however, these creatures appeared in the 1997 film Starship Troopers and are officially known as The Arachnids - an insectoid species that wages interstellar war with mankind in a bid for complete and utter supremacy. With an all-powerful and highly intelligent brain-bug guiding their decisions, they're also very a clever species and, thanks to those aforementioned razor sharp, well, everything, they're able to (and do) tear apart anything that opposes them.
The film may not be for everyone, but the special effects that brought these creatures to life are (literally!) out of this world.
