Whether you call them monster movies or creature features, the plot of these films typically revolves around an animalistic villain that cannot be reasoned with as it hunts down human prey. Often the creature will be an iconic monster from folklore, such as a vampire or werewolf, while extraterrestrials and creatures created in labs also feature. Other times the killer creature will be a real animal that has been given a taste for blood or one that has been experimented on by foolish humans.
