Things that have influenced me

Here is a list of films or aspects of films that have influenced my personal project proposal.

First of all the Alien from the Alien/Aliens films has heavily influenced the creature that stalks the protagonist in my film:

As you can see in the picture above the creature has very dark skin and is baring very large and intimidating teeth, this is partly the basis for what I want the creature in my film to look like although I want it to have eyes as I find that done in the right way you can make eyes look really intimidating. 

The second thing that has influenced the appearance of this creature is the Dementaurs from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The smoky effect around the figure is something I would like to use so that the antagonist almost looks as if it is a shadow as this will add to the effect of what I am trying to create.
