Although he's not in full costume in those snippets, God, when he slowly appears at the doorway with his hands outstretched - it strikes a very deep chord of terror - something primal and harking back to 'bogeyman' childhood fears. All adult rationale just flies out the window - he is f***ing SCARY!!!!!!

It's not just the tallness Svanya, it's the configuration he strikes in silhouette. I liken that sort of expressive movement discipline to mime artists like Lindsay Kemp, Kate Bush and David Bowie's performance of the Elephant Man on Broadway. Bolaji's creepy movement is a far cry from the gymnastics and stupid generic gesticulations of the creatures in the subsequent films bar Alien #3
