"Darkest Time": The strange thriller of ghost hunting in the daytime

A pair of big American boys living in Moscow met a pair of little American girls. The four fell in love with each other at first sight, and they were getting ready to enjoy the scenery and love each other. However, it was discovered that a ghost appeared in the sky of Moscow's Red Square. After a panic and hiding everywhere, people knew that it was an evil alien creature that had descended on the earth. Not only can they hide from nothingness, but they can also evaporate and disappear human beings instantly. After nine deaths and a lifetime of escaping and racking their brains to try their best to deal with it, a panic-like alien invasion of the earth at the end of the century is thrilling.

Don't think that this film will bring many surprises. It is a good match for "Battle of Los Angeles", big ideas for small scenes or small science fiction under the atmosphere. Although the doomsday plot is strong and the entire region is empty, all the passion is consumed in the process of hiding and hiding, and there is no high IQ or science fiction at all. There are no big stars like "Superman for All" to join, and it is only natural that it has become an out-and-out third-rate movie. It can be seen from several failed domestic co-production films that the road of Russia’s co-production has not been smooth sailing. Even sci-fi fantasy, due to huge cultural differences, there will be normal phenomena of inadequacy.

If the invisible aliens are considered the greatest creativity in science fiction films, then they are too pediatric in horror films. For the audience, the only novelty is the bright sense of ghost hunting during the day. Fear experience. More than 90% of the alien phenomenon in reality may really be just a natural phenomenon. Inexplicable bright spots, ball-shaped lightning, and fog-like apertures, these natural phenomena are all imagined by imaginative screenwriters. It is a logical step to imagine the various deeds of aliens coming to the earth. It may be a new combination of science fiction and horror in future films to make people frighten people in broad daylight!

    The only point of view of this film is to provide another new type of #alienexistence form#, pure energy state, not the concrete form we have always understood, carbon-based, silicon-based. ---The rest is just shit. It could have been a blockbuster temperament, but it turned out to be in my backyard. . .

    Probably it was a city tour film that the Moscow government paid for. It was too poor to afford a good script, a good director, a good actor, and it turned out to be like this.
