On the first Terminator

as far as "there is a thing that kills people" movies, the first terminator is one of the more exciting ones
in what it does plot wise
the terminator doesn't hide in a dark corner waiting until you are alone
it doesn't pick up vulnerable hitchhikers and execute them
it relentlessly pursues its target and will go through anything in the way to eliminate them
you aren't safe in a public space
you are just inviting a wave of violence, aimed at you, but going through everyone around you
