    Character Evaluation

    Whether visually or spiritually, Neil Marshall's works always have a dark horror and despair, which infiltrates all his films, which has become a major label in his films. He is also the kind of director who has devoted his life to horror films. The bloody violence and anarchic punk style in his works make his works have a distinctive style, presenting a typical British style. In addition, Neil Marshall has always been very thoughtful visually. The humanoid monsters in the movie "The Descent" and the characters with dirty braids tattooed in the movie "The End of the World" are all very impressive. Similarly, Neil Marshall's horror films are far from traditional American horror films. He will use the movie "The Descent" to explore the horror of human nature, which is lacking in the old American B-level horror   . In the movie "Hellboy: The Rise of the Blood Queen", Neil Marshall tried to make his mark in the movie, but he still couldn't compare with Guillermo del Toro 's work. The film is very similar to his other film works, lively, violent, bloody, usually a mixture of many different ideas, but never really merged together .

      read the comments and everyone felt good, but the time of the comments was relatively early. After all, the low-cost movie, plus the time is far from the present time, special effects and so on. Can't keep up, now looks a...

      Werewolf + Special Forces is a classic theme, hard-core thriller, a bit of an extension of the grotesque style, the screenwriter is good, it does not fall into the stereotype of police vs mutants, and the reversal and rhythm are good.

      A satirical horror film about the weakness of human nature and human ignorance. Those who see the facts but don't accept them will end up waiting to die. The heroine's encounter in the sympathetic film is more caused by the most fundamental evil of human beings. People with strong heart can watch this movie

      Cooper: Ever wondered why the best thing that superglue sticks together is your fingers? Forget your grandma's china cups - this stuff was developed for the Vietnam war to patch up broken soldiers.

    • Megan: But they're good people, they're kind people.

      Cooper: More's the pity.

      Megan: Why?

      Cooper: Cause we're gonna have to kill them all.
