For those hording toilet paper

There is a formula to many of these monster movies in regards to human nature. We often see the worst of human nature when it comes to survival and fear causing certain characters to commit acts in cowardice (the amateur captain closes a door, bolting it shut, cutting off access of an escape route for two crew members fleeing the beast) or how greed and desire for monetary gain and power can lead to malevolent behavior (the creature is seen as a possible oil source and a few lives aren't as important as what it could benefit the country the oil rig represents) on the part of a Dr. Frankenstein. There is often a twist regarding a cherished or trusted character with a secret to hide who betrays those who respect and admire him. I was reminded of Burke from Aliens in regards to one character's hidden iniquity revealed, his true colors unveiled, becoming a heel when his ulterior motives are conveyed.
