00:00What is that?
00:02Oh my God!
00:03Hey, hello and welcome to WatchMojo, Spanish.
00:06I am G, and today we will meet the creatures of the cinema that deserve more fame.
00:10No demons, no evil spirits, only beings with physical and earthly form.
00:14They're totally blind.
00:16And judging from what we've seen, I'd say they use sound to hunt with.
00:22Number 20, Daimajin, Daimajin franchise.
00:25What are you doing in there?
00:31There may be a living spirit inside the stone statue that is Daimajin,
00:36but its physical form is what has contributed to making this movie series so unique.
00:41It's different from other kaiju, despite its initial origins as an antagonist not made of the space turtle Gamera.
00:48Daimajin is venerated as a god in his giant samurai form.
00:52The vision of his frown is enough to make anything die of fear,
00:57while his mental and physical dexterity in the fight is almost unstoppable.
01:01Only an act of human kindness can bring him back to a latent state, waiting for the next time they summon him.
01:07Stop it! The people of the village are not guilty of anything! Stop it! Please, stop it!
01:14Number 19, Seal, franchise Species.
01:17You created a monster with some kind of formula you got from outer space.
01:22The damn thing got away, and now you want us to hunt it down and kill it.
01:26It can't be denied that the design of creatures of the Swiss surrealist H.R. Giger
01:31will always cause comparisons between the franchises Species and Alien.
01:35However, this is not negative, since his work on the creature that would become Seal,
01:41a combination of human and alien DNA, is excellent.
01:45Seal is a violent and tragic character, a creature that did not ask to be born,
01:50but is forced to appear and spread at all costs.
01:54You don't know what we're dealing with here.
01:56She can have a dozen babies. She can lay a thousand eggs.
01:59This gives rise to a carnage, as well as a powerful sexuality that Natasha Hensrich brings to the screen.
02:07Some of the sexual policies of the film and its male gaze have not aged well,
02:12but Seal is still a captivating character and an intriguingly designed cinematic monster.
02:19Number 18, Giant Octopus.
02:21It came from beneath the sea.
02:23I mean, something came up out of the water and grabbed our ship and pulled it under, just like that.
02:27The 50s were a golden age for monster movies,
02:30and those with the special effects of Ray Harryhausen may be the ones that aged best.
02:37The Giant Octopus of this 1955 film was one of Harryhausen's first works,
02:43but the creative magic of the professional was already evident.
02:46The stop-motion effects are extraordinarily fluid, like during the octopus attack on San Francisco.
02:52You can also appreciate its remarkable ability to endow its creatures with definitive mannerisms or features,
02:58along with a sound design that gives the Giant Octopus a fearsome and premonitory presence.
03:15Number 17, The Burrowers.
03:23It's almost late.
03:25With combined horror and western tropes,
03:27the film also features a subtext related to the buffalo killing during the first invasions to North America.
03:34Due to the scarcity of their food source, these animals have been forced to hunt and feast on human victims.
03:41The creatures may have a reason for their behavior, but it does not make their attacks less horrifying.
03:47They paralyze their victims and bury them in holes, aware of their surroundings but absolutely defenseless.
03:54Their physical design is also a nightmare, with open mouths without external ears and a disturbing walk when they attack.
04:01Altogether, they are a kind of unique and singularly disturbing cinematic monster.
04:12Number 16, Submarine Mutant, Leviathan.
04:18What is this? What's going on down there?
04:22Ask the average cinephile what his favorite submarine horror movie is and you will surely hear many different answers.
04:29The Abyss and Deep Star Six are two excellent examples of the genre, as well as Leviathan, all released the same year.
04:38However, the latter had special effects and creature designs by Stan Winston, an advantage over the competition.
04:45This submarine mutant is the result of a virus that assimilates its victims.
04:50The final result is an aquatic nightmare, a marine human mutant with physical elements from both worlds.
04:57It has often been said that this is The Thing by John Carpenter, but underwater, which sounds very accurate, especially thanks to the monster.
05:06Let's go!
05:08See you topside!
05:10Get it, we all do!
05:16Before the creature finally wandered off, he smashed flowerpots and overturned everything in sight.
05:36There is nothing of graphic violence and the monster is not completely visible.
05:42Instead, this mythical cryptid stalks in the dark corners of our imagination,
05:48since Buggy Crick elaborates a narration that relies heavily on docudramatic moments of his appearance.
05:54The execution is so convincing that our mind connects the points in a way that prolongs even more the life of the legendary monster of Fawke.
06:05And then moves very cautiously, staying within quick return to the shelter of the trees.
06:10But tonight, he's on a rampage.
06:17There's nowhere to go.
06:20Nowhere to hide. We're everywhere.
06:35The ability to detect and control the world ends up being revealed thanks to an experimental drug from the local dealer, which looks like a scene taken from The Thing.
06:43Meanwhile, the special effects are multiplied when Hutchinson's alien form is revealed later in the film,
06:50preparing the stage for a classic monster finale.
06:58Number 13. Water Worms. Deep Rising.
07:05Practical effects were combined and generated by computer to create the memorable Deep Rising Water Worms.
07:12The final results are unequal.
07:14Excellent digital effects were used for Billy's death scene,
07:19while other reaction shots have a pretty bad CGI work.
07:23That said, the story of these creatures as an evolutionary wasp of a worm from the Cambrian era is unique,
07:30while their underwater attacks are tense and shocking.
07:33We would love to see how they would be with a more practical application in the modern era.
07:45Number 12. Bigfoot. Night of the Demon.
07:57Believe us when we say that there has never been a Sasquatch like the one in this film.
08:02Two different directors shot the necessary material.
08:05The original feature film of James C. Watson,
08:08as well as the entire Gore film shot by the producer of the film, Jim L. Ball.
08:13This last material shows Bigfoot tearing sensitive parts of the body,
08:18gutting victims and even using a hot stove for a shocking attack.
08:23All these scenes are shot in grotesque and vivid color,
08:26without skimming in terms of bad taste that go beyond the limits.
08:30This big foot is not satisfied with just walking through the forest,
08:33but is willing to chase you, so be careful.
08:42Number 11. Redosaurus. The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
08:47There he is!
08:54It's unbelievable! He's tremendous!
08:59Godzilla was not the first lizard that ravaged a city.
09:02In fact, it was the design of Ray Harryhausen for this 1953 film
09:07that would serve as inspiration for Gojira, only a year later.
09:11Harryhausen's Redosaurus had its origin in The Falkhorn,
09:15a short story by the legendary writer Ray Bradbury.
09:18The cinematic version is a unique design that looks more like a mixture of dinosaur and lizard
09:24than something that really existed.
09:26This freedom makes the Redosaurus even more terrifying and aggressive,
09:31which works wonderfully when it knocks down lights and attacks cities.
09:35The monster had a huge influence and is still a supreme achievement
09:39within the art of stop-motion animation.
09:46It was last seen on Wall Street, close to where it came ashore.
09:49Number 10. Gravoides. Tremors franchise.
09:56Never underestimate the power of a good trick.
09:59The Tremors franchise has been very successful for years, which is not a small thing.
10:04These underground worms have made their victims' lives impossible
10:08since their debut in 1990 to several sequels, prequels and television series.
10:14However, one thing is constant, their determination and unpredictability.
10:18The design of these creatures is disgusting and memorable,
10:21from their triple tongues to the jaws of their jaws.
10:25The Gravoides can slide and dig into almost anything, including the imagination of the fans.
10:37Number 9. Cotoga. Duralic.
10:39The plot and the setting of this 1997 film are somewhat singular,
10:45as it presents a hybrid monster of South American origin
10:48that lives and wanders the confines of a Chicago museum.
10:51This relic is the Cotoga, a chaotic beast that adopts the human form of the anthropologist John Whitney
10:57before revealing its true nature.
11:00Are you telling me that thing is part human?
11:02No, I'm saying more than that. According to this data, that thing started out as a human.
11:06This final form is something similar to a chimera,
11:09since it combines physical features of multiple animals.
11:12In particular, the Cotoga functions humans, lizards, fish, insects and felines
11:17in a monster with teeth, which in the end is dedicated to killing.
11:21The final result has a unique design, it is fearsome, genuinely interesting
11:25and contributes to making this a film that deserves to be rediscovered.
11:34Number 8. Kaiju. Pacific Rim franchise.
11:47We couldn't limit our selection to just one Kaiju from Pacific Rim,
11:51so we decided to celebrate them all together.
11:54This is mainly due to how the fans of the Pacific Rim franchise
11:58have become fond of these interdimensional beasts
12:02and how the fights between them and the Jaeger have lasted for years.
12:12Their designs may not be as idiosyncratic or unique as, for example, those of Godzilla,
12:17but examples like Daji, Slaughtering, Knifehead and Leatherback have earned a cult following.
12:23Knifehead's design, in particular, is similar to that of Giron from the Gamera universe,
12:28which helps connect the old Kaiju story with the new one.
12:32Number 7. Blade. Puppetmaster franchise.
12:35In the Puppetmaster franchise by producer Charles Band,
12:38many puppets have appeared and disappeared.
12:42Several are great, but perhaps none have the same cult status as the original Puppetmaster, Blade.
12:49This living puppet was created by André Toulon,
12:52a French puppeteer and sorcerer who introduced in him
12:55the soul of a renegade surgeon who fled the Nazi army.
12:59This leader of Toulon's puppet army is a very skilled and fast spy with the knife,
13:06as he cuts his enemies with precision.
13:08He has a lot of personality and an unmistakable appearance,
13:11thanks to his characteristic hat and gabardine.
13:14He may be small, but he's a fighter.
13:19Number 6. Cooper. Super 8.
13:34The creative seal of producer Steven Spielberg was everywhere in this 2011 creature movie.
13:40This is not bad, since the screenwriter and director J.J. Abrams
13:44was able to combine his own science fiction pedigree with a bit of Spielberg's family magic.
13:50Cooper is the central monster, a very intelligent alien creature that crashed on Earth
13:55and after escaping from the government, tried to rebuild his spaceship.
14:00Cooper's desire to escape is understandable,
14:02although he eats more than one person in search of his goal.
14:05In addition, the design is terrifying, but also quite human enough to make us understand it,
14:11which finally helps Super 8 to be successful as a movie.
14:24Number 5. Trolls. Troll Hunter.
14:33Troll Hunter's CGI technology is extraordinary.
14:37The team that is behind this found film,
14:40looked forward to developing modern-looking trolls that look like they came out of a nightmare.
14:45These beasts look more like a monstrous myth, thirsty for blood and destructive.
14:50The found film style also allows you to see the trolls from an adequate perspective,
14:55since we are first-hand witnesses of what an attack would be like.
14:59And wow, it would be horrible.
15:01Watch out!
15:10I just need a place to stay.
15:13What's in the basket?
15:14Clothes.
15:32Screenwriter and director Frank Hannan-Lotter has created other films like Brain Damage,
15:37but Basket Case is his best-known work.
15:46Belial's deformed design is disturbing,
15:49while Hannan-Lotter uses both practical effects and stop-motion to bring the monster to life.
15:55A tip if you ever see Dwayne Bradley on a train, leave him alone.
15:59Number 3. Clover. Cloverfield.
16:07Fans have been speculating for a long time about all the easter eggs contained in the different media related to Cloverfield.
16:14However, what everyone agrees on is the impact of Clover's debut in the original 2008 movie.
16:21Director Matt Ribs and screenwriter Drew Goddard helped create the movie with a found film style,
16:27and Cloverfield remains largely faithful to its revelation of the monster.
16:31The final results, although perhaps not unique, are gigantic and impressive.
16:37Clover's underwater origins predict an aversion to land attacks,
16:42as demonstrated by the iconic sequence with the beheaded head of the Statue of Liberty.
16:47That said, we would love to see more of Clover in future installments of the franchise.
16:58Number 2. Crawlers. The Descent franchise.
17:04The original film of the The Descent franchise was also quite patient to reveal the monsters.
17:09The first half focuses on the development of characters,
17:12as well as on the establishment of their claustrophobic underground scenario.
17:16Then, almost without prior notice, the Crawlers attack.
17:20The vision of their horrible faces in the dark almost seems like a dream,
17:24while the practicality of its design gives it weight and force.
17:28This is a film that benefits enormously from the cinematographic realization of the old school,
17:34and the impact of the Crawlers is a sign of a good result.

17:55Now, let's go to the end.
17:57Number 1. Gamera. Gamera franchise.
18:05Always the lady of honor? Never the bride.
18:08This old saying could apply to the cinematographic legacy of Gamera.
18:12Sometimes giant monster, sometimes guardian of the universe.
18:15This Japanese kaiju has starred in numerous films for decades.
18:20However, its public profile has never reached the level of other stars like Godzilla.
18:25Maybe it's because many Gamera films were aimed at the children's market.
18:31Even so, we can't deny that this space turtle has tons of charm and charisma.
18:35It also has battles against kaiju like Jaeger, Giron, Chaos and Barugon.
