It is impossible to say that this "Strange Form" and "Alien" are completely different things, although the difference is only three years. In fact, the monsters are slightly similar, but the other differences are much larger. The film has spent a lot of effort on monster special effects, and the disgusting shapes look quite unique when you look closely. Whether it is parasitic on dogs or humans, each monster has its own difference. You can see plants, animals, or human limbs from it. It is not easy to achieve this special effect 30 years ago. Even if I look at it now, I don't think there are any flaws, it is very realistic.
"Alien" mainly tells the battle between humans and monsters, how to eliminate these things; while "Strange Forms" shifts its attention to humans. Once this kind of monster is parasitic in the body, it will quickly imitate the appearance of this thing. , Over time, it makes it difficult to tell the truth from the fake, and you will be swallowed accidentally. In this way, you don't know whether you are a real person, let alone whether others have been hit by the knife. Interpersonal relationships are full of doubts and mistrust, and often the suspicion between people is much more exciting than the battle between people and monsters.
I am a little regretful that the monsters in this film are weaker in combat effectiveness, and are basically destroyed by the fire. Their threat to people is less sudden, which reduces the element of fright. In the portrayal of the character's personality, he used a lot of thought, and reflected the innermost feelings of the people in front of the crisis. I heard that the prequel is about to start shooting, and I am waiting to see what breakthroughs will be made in the new film 30 years later next year.
