    4.5. One of the best Carpenters, what is more amazing is that the length of the film is not long, but it can simultaneously complete a large-scale atmosphere and a wave of...

    Why are there so many people in the comments condemning distrust between people? In this case, distrust is the sensible approach, isn't it? Stop chicken soup every day! The special effects makeup artist for this film should have won every award that...

    A visual representation of claustrophobia. However, the story and characters lack a sense of hierarchy, and it is impossible to tell who is who. The process is a bit boring, and there is not even a woman. No wonder it is claustrophobic. Samsung and a...

    Scared, disgusting. Watched it at ifm in New York, and the audience laughed and cried for a while. Don't say anything, it's really a horror...

    The monster and the monster prequel are read together. The creative shape creature invades, and it is even more rare to show the suspicion, ruthlessness and struggle between...

    "Imdb250, remake from 1951" horror film, a classic of sticky alien films. The plot is less cliché, and there is a trusting relationship between...

    Four stars are for special effects makeup. Thirty years ago, this technology is very awesome today~! Absolute horror movie model at the...

    Looking at the props now is too far behind. . The blank at the end is entirely the rhythm of the follow-up, and it turned out that there was a prequel 30 years...

    This film has been paid tribute by latecomers many times in terms of special effects and conception. In terms of atmosphere creation, it does not use too much soundtrack and artificial horror (the tune of a b-level horror film), and it is really comfortable to match the ice and snow...

    Frustrated after the box-office flop, Carpenter still sees The Thing as his pinnacle. The facts tell us that there are temporary doubts and dust in the market, but the classics can always surpass the baptism of...

    The Thing and Noel Carroll's Why horror?

    Curiosity

    Better-looking than Alien!

    I have lingering fears after watching the film. The fear of humans like "Strange Shape" is even greater than the fear of unknown creatures like "Alien".
    Of course, similar to "Alien", "Weird Shape" is also a series of "screams" caused by unknown life forms, but "Weird Shape" is more...
