Dark Invasion series 1 and 2 joint spoilers, only women can defeat monsters

I have to say that I am used to the heroism of American horror movies. The British film Darkness Invasion is still very good. It fully reflects the various words and deeds of people facing death threats. Only the strongest and calmest people can go further. But you can't have the last laugh either.

Because I watched 1 and 2 in two consecutive days, the memory is clearer and more coherent, and there are some commonalities that have to be said.

The common points of the Dark Invasion series 1 and 2:
1. Each episode has SB characters who are even more hateful than monsters. This episode is a self-righteous SB police uncle, plus a black policewoman.
2. There are people who are not easy to die in each episode. The last episode was bech (it seems to be the name). This episode is an expedition team member. The reason for not being dead is all provocation. Bech is provoking Sarah and Juno, and in the end, only one person is left to escape. This time, the 2B young man is inciting monsters, or is there only one left to escape.
3. Every episode must have a desperate ending.
4. Only women can defeat monsters.

This is a feminist film. The first one has no men at all, and the second one is that all the men died miserably. The women are strong.
In the end, Sarah's roaring devotion surprised me. Maybe it was because I didn't want to live without my daughter, no friends, and it was also a redemption for my wickedness in the first episode.
At the end of the tragedy, there is suspicion of imitating the first part, which is a bit contrived. At the same time, it also shows that there must be Dark Invasion 3, which is very likely to be a prequel, the origin of monsters or the revealing of monsters' living conditions.
Caves, exploration, darkness, monsters, human nature, these are all attractive elements. Although Dark Invasion 2 is not as exciting as the first one, these elements are also available, and they are still very attractive. If there is another 3, I will still watch it. expect.
