I think it might be a combination of Uncanny Valley (something looking human enough that our brains think they are, yet not quite enough and so it comes off as creepy) with them being much more alienated from society then we are from each other, meaning they can't relate to us (making it real easy for them to murder millions) and as a result of being so out of touch, they act, dress, end up looking (facial expressions and the like) and even talking just a little bit different from the rest of humanity that it trips Uncanny Valley.
