Your comment made me think of two things:

1) two Doctor Who episodes in which new beings slowly infiltrated Earth/London either as "cute" walking lumps of human fat, or inert black cubes that people adopted as pet rocks before the cubes started to take over the world

2) The scene in Age of Ultron where Tony Stark sends a gaggle of his peacekeeping robots to try to calm a crowd, and the crowd starts throwing rocks at them.
