They don't scare me half as much as the savages who emerge in the PETER BROOK film adaptation of "LORD OF THE FLIES."
I watched the 1963 film on DVD this morning.

The biggest danger in the world is the danger that lives within us, the film (and the WILLIAM GOLDING book, of course) suggests.
That premise chills me more than any "creature feature."
