All of life “beneath” humanity basically lives in a 24/7 horror movie, as far as I can tell.
Humans only do so part-time.
The fact that most of us don't have to constantly worry of something bigger, stronger and faster than us snatching us at nigh to devour us or our families half alive is something we should be very, very thankful for. Our ancestors may have gone a bit overboard, which is why today there just isn't any predator near human habitation (with very few exceptions) and there's no giant predators at all, we killed them all.
What about the tiny predators of bacteria and virus sorts, and of course genetic aberrations with cancers? Tiny predators are the apex we generally are vulnerable in light of.
Those are more difficult, but we're in the process of killing them off too.
As usual, without much regard to consequences.
Forget predators, our ancestors were afraid of the weather. Just about anything in the world would kill them if they let it.

invisibly tiny bacteria were also very likely to kill you, and still often do
