Part of what made the aliens scary was that
Spoiler: We don't know why they planted the machines, or why the activated them now. The motive was, well, alien.
But I completely agree with you about the human element being even scarier:
Spoiler: The scariest part being when the mob attacks the van, and Cruise has to take it back at gunpoint, and then has it taken from him at gunpoint, and then that man is murdered for it. It had a Lord of the Flies quality to the savagery shown.
