When the ranger in the forest first met Scarlett, his gentle words were very similar to Scarlett's tricking people into getting into the car. In the end, the ranger counterattacked, just like Scarlett ate others. What's even more chilling is that Scarlett eats people with a purpose. Whether it's to obtain nutrition or information, her cannibalism itself is a very purposeful behavior, and she is completing a task. The rangers killed Scarlett just because of fear, or the human instinct to kill.
Therefore, how awesome the aliens are, under the beast consciousness of human beings, or the beast theory of the "dark jungle", they are just dogs.
Scarlett's performance in the film is remarkable. She wears a ragged sweater on the bus, which is extremely charming.
