Monsters and egoism
Have you ever noticed that the monsters in horror movies are not just incredibly ugly and fearful, but also incredibly irrational? The are so aggressive as if they had no psychology.
Take for example a movie I’ve watched some time ago: Descent. There movie monsters live in caves and look like Gollum, boiled in geyser and wall-eyed. With desperate sqweal they attack everyone and everything indiscriminately. For example, a lonely monster with no doubt assaults five athletic women. Moreover, when the prey is dead, the monster continues chasing another. By the way, this hunting vehemens can easily lead you to death by hunger. Because while you are running around trying to catch someone else, the abandoned corpse will soon be eaten up by the smarter animals.

Well, you can look at it from a different prospective. Such an aggresive monster CAN exist and survive. The point is that the real world we know is perfectly balanced. It has been settling in its equilibrium for millions of years. The result of it is that all the creatures that made it to this point are bound to act in strict accordance with the balance that rules the modern world. And this is exactly why the aggresive monsters you descrive cannot exist in our world. But. If something very unordinary happens this may very drastically change. It should be something that never existed in our world before, and therefore simply does not have a place in it. At least not without bringing the world totally out of balance. And THAT is what is being projected in the horror movies at times. The fears of the human race about facing such a change which being more powerfull that the humans destroys our world completely and builds its own on our bones. It doesn’t care about being dumb when aggressively exterminating us because we are simply not part of its life scheme. We are looked upon just as an annoying hindrance in the way of its own evolution. People never faced anything like that yet. But if we do… that’s what some of the horror movies is about, I believe.

Escaper, I think that this kind of creatures just will not be able to survive. At least if we accept their life-cycle as it is presented in the movies.
Any anymal needs some biological environment to live in. It needs something to eat at least.
So the monster cannot just appear, destroy everything and build something new. The monster has to bring its monstrous biological environment with it and to make it compatible with a new place. But we never see this in the movies.
