Sci-fi thrillers are getting more and more comedic
For directors who are keen on cult tastes or the author's style is in command, the shooting of star production must be very restrictive, and sometimes it will affect the play of the inherent style. In Brian de Palma's early work, this one feels underwhelming, failing to bring out the full flavor of Cult. Despite the familiar political metaphors buried in the opening scene with a big gunfight blast, this cross-genre sci-fi thriller becomes more and more comedic as you watch it. Imagine Kirk...

Maybe because of the complicated relationship, the characters' inner character has not been dug deeply enough. But the car chase, the girl running away, the son's anger, the father-son confrontation, and the final revenge were all really...

3.5. A mediocre psychic story, the script is quite bad and confusing, but DePalma's design and scheduling skills in the simplest scene are really too many directors to break their heads and shoot. . . And even for DePalma, learning Hitchcock in this one is a little too explicit. ....

3.5/5 Trying to combine various genres The scheduling of the car chase in the fog and the upgraded shots of the escape scene are remarkable, but the text is really mediocre. Most of the time, it is still a mainstream commercial routine, and none of them is attractive enough suspenseful and perhaps the most boring opening of DePalma's work, but DePalma's surprise at the end saves a film that lingers on the passing line and is even a little boring. Horror elements are added to the frenzied...

The superpower and special agent films were not well done at both ends, and the middle was unusually loose. The action crime film for more than half an hour in the first half and the psychological thriller for more than half an hour in the middle seemed to be very separated from each other. The finale was even more hasty, but fortunately the shots were still well done, and the last scene should have been quite explosive at the...
Dr. Ellen Lindstrom: This is a graphic example of biofeedback. We're converting the very low-voltage alpha wave energy into electricity to run that train. And that train will only run when my friend Hester is in alpha.
Dr. Ellen Lindstrom: Now as you may have hoped. there are more practical applications to biofeedback training. If you can learn to regulate your brain waves, you can gain control of your heart rate, blood pressure, headache, backaches, yes ladies even cold feet.
Dr. Ellen Lindstrom: Now I work at the Paragon Institute where we study the phenomena of extrasensory perception and we are using biofeedback techniques to tap the almost limitless resources of the human mind.
Dr. Ellen Lindstrom: And I am speaking now of such things as thought transmissions, commonly known as telepathy
Dr. Ellen Lindstrom: Now that machine is called a magnetometer and it records fluctuations of the human electromagnetic field during our experiments and I guess Hester's had it. Thank you Hester
Dr. Ellen Lindstrom: I want to stress that no particular talent is needed to achieve this. Anybody can achieve alpha with a little patience.
Dr. Ellen Lindstrom: Now try to remember that alpha is another word for passive.
Gillian Bellaver: Alright
Dr. Ellen Lindstrom: Visualize sitting in an empty theater in front of a blank screen and let that blank screen fill your mind.
Susan Charles: And when he fails... he's intolerable.
Childress: How is he performing in bed?
Susan Charles: Robin wants to please me. That's the main thing, isn't it? He needs a rest. No more tests for at least a month.
Childress: Sorry.
