Don't think the script is simple

The advantages are as follows:

1. The transformation of a closed and open environment is very characteristic. It makes you nervous for a while and relaxes for a while. The whole article makes you feel that everything is happening too fast. Before you have time to react and taste, you will lose everything. It is quite high-powered.

2. Intuitively speaking, it doesn't give you a long pavement like other horror movies. In the end, it's a little bit. The story of the film is always in development, and the story is promoted by the results, not by people.

After talking about the advantages, let's talk about the shortcomings. There are a lot of unknown details without explanation, and there are fewer responses before and after, which gives viewers who are used to watching the film a bit of a sense of imprecision.

This also explains from the negative side that the film feels real, not deliberate. It is the roughness that some people admire. I think the director deliberately does not show some details, so that the audience can divert their enthusiasm or attention for the film from exploring to accepting and feeling the process. From this point, it can be seen that Director Carpenter is really thinking about it.

    One of the greatest sci-fi horror films in movie history. John Carpenter's "The Thing" can be described as the leader of pure horror films. The monster modeling and destruction scenes have the characteristics of B-level films, but the narrative and performance are very calm, exuding grand thematic characteristics. In the seemingly simple "alien" invasion story, the movie finally settled on the "doomsday complex", which is a very unexpected but natural trend.

    If Thor was filmed in the 1980s, the male protagonist would probably be the best choice for Thor! Still looking good in 2021!
