The "Save the Cat" series of books on screenwriting says that's an essential part of such movies - that the monster only gets to invade because someone's moral failing lets it in.
I'm not fond of their attitude - that there are only about a dozen possible plots for movies - but there certainly are a lot of movies that conform to them.
