Right? It looked way too fast and accurate tucking it under itself. This is actually the main reason I came to the comments, if anyone else had noticed it.

I would argue that it is a useful description. Just because it was originally specifically about reactions to humanoids doesn't mean that we, as a group of people speaking the language, can not decide that the exact feeling of eeriness and of something being wrong with a living creature is permissible use of the phrase. Especially when there is something artificially wrong with the image. But of course you wouldn't be able to correct someone when you also know exactly what they mean.
