Horror and entertainment

This low-cost production, with a highly "responsible" entertaining spirit, has moderately subverted the traditional horror film routines, which is impressive.
The protagonist of the film does not have much creativity. It is a mutant monster named Gabo who lives in the soft mud and seeks prey by sound and vibration. The plot also follows the usual idea of ​​horror movies: characters die one after another + conflict with each other + fight back. The difference is that compared with the solemn atmosphere and dark ending of traditional horror films, the film runs through a witty and optimistic spirit throughout the film, which makes people always feel positive about the protagonist’s survival and survival in the agitated western rock music and intense plot development. Victory maintained confidence and hope, and even responded with applause and laughter. Regarding the design of the battle between humans and monsters, traditional films often overstate the insignificance and helplessness of humans, and even if they resist, it is hard to escape the fate of hitting the rocks with pebbles. The film "Different" balances the strength and wisdom of both parties, making people dizzy in the back and forth of the "magic" and the "dao", and finally ushered in a rare bright ending: four. Gabo, who is getting smarter and smarter, was cleaned up in various ways by the only remaining humans in Perfect Town. Our brave and humorous young cowboy also ushered in his love. For a low-cost production in the 90s, we naturally can't ask for too exquisite special effects and fine graphics. Because of the entertaining and horrible atmosphere on it, I am willing to subjectively increase the score of 7.4 on IMDB, hitting 8. Divide it.
BAIDU took a moment, and there are indeed three sequels to such a wonderful film. The second episode was produced in 1996. The plot has slightly more hidden injuries than the first episode, and it is mixed with water that plagiarizes "Jurassic Park", and the overall level is slightly reduced. But it still continues the tense yet humorous, terrifying and bright style of the first episode, just like the cheerful personality of the newly added big boy. Although Gabo’s evolutionary varieties have many things that people don’t understand, it’s clear that they are more aggressive and vital, and they know how to use tactical combat, so "matching wits" is still a major feature of this game, and it makes People are not bored at all. If it were not restricted by investment, the battle between humans and beasts at the refinery base should be more exciting for the senses. Although IMDB's score is not high (5.4 points, right?), it at least didn't make me lose interest in the sequel like "Reaper Is Coming". To sum it up, 7.5 points.
It is said that three or four episodes are not very dripping, but there is nothing to mind. In order to experience the joy and horror again, I can’t wait to open the video page...

    Movies from the 1990s, watching them now is like watching Ottoman, fake. But at the time, it was pretty good, at least the plot was quite attractive.

    The biggest advantage is that there is no night, the sun is shining during the whole day, and there are very few indoor scenes. The disadvantage is that the monster is too weak. The first one hit the wall and was killed, the second was killed by a gun, the third was blown to death by a grenade, and the fourth was killed by jumping off a cliff.
