Watching while being swallowed by fear

There are not too many descriptions of ugly monsters, but it makes people feel deep fear, and the essence of fear is "the unknown is the most fearful". The process of watching at the same time can attract me to experience fear, hatred, and despair with the characters in the movie. The plot is quite twisty. When Sarah kills the little monster, you can see a female monster crying beside it. It made me wonder if something similar would happen if aliens broke into Earth.
When Sarah escaped and ascended to heaven, I could well understand how she felt when she stepped on the gas pedal furiously, and the accumulated fear and repression were also vented, but it was not a lighthearted, it was a greater fear, a fear of repression. Fear of being swallowed.
But in the end, I didn't understand, I don't know if all escape was Sarah's dream, or the director finally hinted that with this experience, Sarah has been able to face the shadow left by the car accident a year ago.

    I served the ending!

    [B+] Environment, environment, extreme environment! In the claustrophobic darkness underground, only a small amount of light is enough to magnify the atmosphere rendering to the extreme. Blood red represents fear, fighting and cowardice, fluorescent green represents rationality and unity, and dim yellow is the main color of monsters, while white light from the surface is the hope of false disillusionment, and outlines the outline of endless bones on the way of life. From the visual expression alone, it has reached its peak in the horror movies of 00s. The last half hour is particularly exciting, and the ending segment of the virtual reality and dream blending reminds me of "Carrie Witch", not only because of the hand protruding from the ground, but also because of the appearance of the heroine being reborn from the blood. It is difficult. Don't let me make associations.
