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.

    7.9 Similar to Alien 1, focusing on creating a sense of fear. The monsters are not terrible. The scary thing is that the monsters become people around them, making it hard to find and the suspicion among the teams. The makeup of this film is absolutely superb.

    Probably because I first watched "The Prequel", the suspense and the human nature overlap slightly, so the impact is not big. But as the originator of the weird shape in 1982, this film deserves to be both scary and good-looking, and those who haven't seen the prequel can be a hit.

    Childs: Mac wants the what?

  • [showing the remains of the dog-thing to the entire camp]

    Dr. Blair: You see, what we're talkin' about here is an organism that imitates other life-forms, and it imitates 'em perfectly. When this thing attacked our dogs it tried to digest them... absorb them, and in the process shape its own cells to imitate them. This for instance. That's not dog. It's imitation. We got to it before it had time to finish.

    Vance Norris: Finish what?

    Dr. Blair: Finish imitating these dogs.
