May I suggest checking out the film “Get away” with Nick Frost and Ashling Bea.
Its absolutely excellent
They are aliens. They couldn’t give a fuck about some little serial killer man. I mean, look at your picture, the blood must be his. If it was of some alien, he would be exposing his brains in two seconds. This gives me “I can take a polar bear armed with a knife”, Tate-like vibes.
There is a start trek voyager episode like this. It’s a great one. It’s called Meld, in Season 2.
Closest thing I watched was “no one will save you” Main character has to kill all kinds of aliens while they are tying to abduct her.
Minor spoiler:

she earns mad respect from aliens as story progresses which leads to a “happy ending”
That movie is a a fucking wild trip. Highly recommend it.
Actual sociopath who has tried very hard to maintain boundaries and not commit crime even in secret suddenly finds himself in a safe space for venting.
Peak, must watch.
Isn’t this the plot for Jason X?
He was a good husband and a loving father, he hid his true nature through great effort, so he could have a better life. But one day, dark shapes appeared in the sky, and he was taken prisoner by beings who had every reason to believe he was docile…
Humans are space orcs.
Call it… Slayer under Saturn.
S. U. S. For short
Oh cool, a new Doom movie.
That’s an Uno Reverse on the whole killer alien genre. I’d watch that in a heartbeat

In a preemptive strike, aliens abduct ‘the leader of the free world’.
Nobody comes to save him and the world rejoices
This could be done by fans overdubbing the movie Doom (2005). Add translation captions to all the monsters where they are friendly and confused but the sounds come out as Doom monsters.
Like Robot Chicken where they showed Panda Baba was actually a friendly architect and his friend was messing around by saying he was dangerous to ObiWan in the cantina.
A serial killer wouldn’t necessarily do well in this situation. They tend to get off on being sneaky and killing people with no way to defend themselves. A combat vet is probably their worst possible choice, which is why it’s a popular trope.
Have you seen Predators? This is directly addressed in that movie.
What about a serial killer that normally targets combat vets??
Hannibal lecter and true crime make serial killers look like supervillains but really they’re just Steven Miller if he was broke.
Documentaries always like to show them as geniuses because it’s more exciting than the idea that people are oblivious and law enforcement isn’t always effective.
Seriously Dahmer had a victim RETURNED TO HIM BY THE POLICE. Not a mastermind, a higher intelligence wouldn’t be subverted.
Not only that, there were a bunch of his neighbors telling the police that he was killing people and that his apartment smelled like the literal pile of rotting corpses that it actually was, and the police response was, “You’re black/gay, we don’t care.”
Dahmer was a psychotic, tactless, idiot fucking dumbass that genuinely did not seem to be even trying to hide his actions, and the police were still too fucking stupid, lazy, and bigoted to even notice.
Conspiracy incoming:
The cops knew what Dahmer was doing, they just didn’t give a shit. He killed a bunch of people the cops wanted to kill themselves.
Until the combat vet gets triggered by his PTSD, but then we already have Rambo.
What about a serial killer that normally targets combat vets??
There was one fan fiction where the A-Team was abducted by aliens. Let’s say they promptly broke out of confinement, locked themselves in a room with a bunch of alien goodies and went underground in a nebula. That was a fun one.
Instead of a serial killer, maybe an obsessive weirdo who can figure out how anything works (and how they can be made to not work) and really, really wants to go home.
The aliens keep trying to find their captive, but parts of the ship keep breaking.
That just sounds like the original ‘Die Hard’ with Aliens. he’s in the vents!
Yeah but we’d totally watch that.
Let’s just make a nice cup of tea in that Nutri-Matic over there …
So… McGuyver?
Actually yeah.
I struggled with that show when I was a kid. I didn’t understand the point. Because my family is… just like that. Dear old Dad, my uncles, even my mom who made her own wedding dress on a treadle sewing machine.
Why not both? Ever watch criminals minds it’s always “ex military”
Osiris with Linda Hamilton.
And most combat vets are retired mercenary serial killers.
Not the same kind of “serial killer” referenced here, though.
Even better if the aliens have no concept of a serial killer so they have no frame of reference for the horror they have brought upon themselves.
Or death isn’t even an inconvenience for them. They’re a hive mind and losing one loses nothing. He gets no joy from it and they are but mildly annoyed.
They conclude it is normal human behavior and decide to leave us the fuck alone, like we do with the sentinel islands.
No, they threaten to kill all of us unless we change. Then we are given 6 months to find and kill every serial killer on the planet and they give us the technology to instantly detect serial killers but it turns out the device detects potential serial killers as well and it’s flagging multiple politicians, celebrities, nobel laureates and even children.
Look, I already bought my hypothetical ticket, you and the_riviera_kid don’t have to sell this thing to me harder!
The perfect outcome.
I want to see this movie
…
Fuck, that’s good.
