Alien. It's the pinnacle of horror movies. And what makes it so good is the believability of it all. There is no supernatural, no ghosts, no masked mass murderers, no silly "monsters" that defy all the laws of biology and physics.

The way the alien grows before it has a chance to eat anything defies biology and physics.
