In a way, the movie Life_(2017_film) is like a contemporary story about intelligent organic matter from Mars migrating to Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_(2017_film)#Plot
Of course The_Thing_(1982_film) is also a story about a hostile ET life form crashing on earth, but a very long time ago.
Horror_Express (1972) is another fascinating agressive ET on Earth story.
"The extraterrestrial has been stranded on Earth for millions of years. It kills passengers with specific knowledge that could help it build a new spaceship. Eventually, Cossack Captain Kazan stabs and shoots Mirov. With Mirov dying, Pujardov, believing the creature to be Satan and having pledged allegiance to it prior, allows it to possess him." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_Express#Plot
Quatermass_and_the_Pit_(film) is an interesting story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatermass_and_the_Pit_(film)#Plot
