At that time, such a movie could be made

As a 1982 movie, "Strange Shape" was able to create such a vivid and intimidating monster image at the time, which is truly breathtaking. "Alien" in 1976 and "Weird Shape" in 1982. In that era when there were no special effects of "fifty cents", through a series of scenes and props and the wonderful acting skills of the actors, they opened up the classic science fiction horror monster theme. Had a far-reaching impact. Today, future generations of science fiction, horror and monster movies still cannot surpass them, although they now have more realistic special effects. Video content: Two staff from the Norwegian Antarctic Observation Station chased and killed a husky. Somehow, the American staff rescued the husky, but this was the beginning of a nightmare... Afterthought: Today, the style of the movie is still the same Sharp.

    The biggest feature of this film is that it creates a "Tempest Villa" mode that is most commonly used in mystery novels, and the most unique thing is that there are plural threats of monsters, so the focus is not on guessing who the monsters are, but under the influence of monsters This leads to everyone being suspicious of each other, and everyone is in a state of danger. The instinct of survival is of course the power of human beings to fight against monsters, but it is also a double-edged sword. The untrustworthiness brought about by this mutual suspicion also allows monsters to take the opportunity to divide human beings and gradually break through them. With the appearance of a B-grade film, the director not only alluded to the crisis of tension between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, but also packaged a fable about trust and suspicion, cooperation and confrontation, survival and destruction to question the human beings themselves. Fear can not help but make people feel lingering fears. The story ends with an open-ended confrontation of mutual suspicion, which undoubtedly makes people feel nihilistic and hopeless.

    God does not explain! Really good scripts don’t need any emotional lines to charge for time, okay! Carpenter loves you for ten thousand years~
