      For 1997, it's really good

      It seems that there are still 2 and 3 in "Variants of DNA" in 1997... I have time to see it, I don’t know if there are any surprises, this 1997 movie looks a little sleepy now... Well, good idea, It’s a cockroach, but it’s a lot of cruelty... It seems that the attack power is not high, and I saw all kinds of Kazk at station B. . But it's really weak... It's done with a little decent weapon... The last few people directly knocked out a group... and they were drunk.
      But that sentence is...

      Enhanced version of Xiaoqiang Judas Cockroach

      First of all, let’s talk about the science fiction hypothesis. Gene mutations. The first batch will basically die within a short period of time (it should be counted in minutes). After nearly three years of continuous evolution for an unknown number of generations, if it continues to evolve, it is estimated that it will be Changed to "Alien 4".
          Variant DNA 2 and 3 have not been watched yet, I don't know if they are the real sequels. There is only one male worm, and the male worm does...

      Human sin

      The Chinese translation of "MIMIC" is called "variant DNA". Although it roughly expresses the meaning, it is somewhat clichéd. And it only advertises that this is a horror film with the theme of biochemical mutation. It does not express the true meaning of the film at all: "When a worm becomes a human, what should we do?" The

      word Mimic in English means "simulation, imitation" ". At the beginning of the film, the female entomologist played by the heroine was found to solve the...

      First-rate beauty refers to second-rate movies.

      When Tuiluo was making this film, his father was kidnapped, and he was so busy that he was deprived of editing rights. It was his most dissatisfied work from filming. Fortunately, he also met the "mermaid" Doug Jones on this set and started. The two have worked together for many years, I believe he will feel a little lucky for this. The romanticism in his style disappeared and turned into a plain Hollywood monster movie. The biggest highlight is the impeccable beauty of the top, sticky and...

      It's great that bugs evolved into human faces

      Watching top movies is mainly about watching the monsters inside.
      Some scenes in the sewer are really like game scenes, with the feeling of Alien 3.
      The recurring cross sign, the top repeatedly said.
      When the female protagonist was taken away, I thought she would become Kerrigan's
      original painting texture, wet alien texture
      , how big the American sewers, no wonder there are
      mutant insects of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that imitate the human face. This design...

      3.4. The huge cockroach cannibals and the protagonist smears cockroach bodily fluid to save himself. This is the most impressive horror film segment in middle school. What happened to Hollywood in 1997, so that Mimic and Man in Black will produce two science fiction movies with cockroaches in just two...

      There are alien shadows, but I think it's not...

      112-minute director's cut. The process of pulling out the cocoon of the monster's origin is more attractive, but the character Weiguang is inexplicable, and the suspense of a single episode is not very good. I feel that Top is still better at doing his own art than a...

      The idea is powerful cockroaches disguised as humans. The rhythm is still okey, it can be more disgusting, more perverted and more...

      Del Toro's first shot in Hollywood, the demands on details and art have already begun to take shape. Personally, I like the superposition of a large number of insect specimens in the opening part, which inspired many such films and even the CG construction of...

    Movie quotes

    • Susan Tyler: Sometimes an insect will evolve to mimic its predator. A fly can look like a spider, a caterpillar can look like a snake. The Judas evolved to mimic its predator... us.

    • Susan Tyler: They mimic us. We mimic them.

    • Dr. Gates: My God, the organs, they're... perfectly formed.
