Looking at the whole film, the atmosphere in the front part is extremely strange, with thick fog, dense forests that seem to move, and monster calls from time to time. At the back, the deity of the evil god appears, and the cultists worship together. I felt discouraged in an instant. In fact, I felt that from time to time the Cthulhu came out too much to destroy the atmosphere, but came out too early! Here I will just talk about a few associations about the film.
1. Those corpses are actually the cult villagers
The English-speaking woman said that the worship of the evil god can allow them to stay in this place, immortal, away from illness, and it seems to imply that, in fact, those corpses are them. And those corpses lined up in a row, standing below, a god-like grass man sitting in front of them, this is also a kind of worship ritual.
2. Those villagers were also chosen like the male lead
It is possible that each of the villagers, like the male lead, came to this forest with family or friends, but when they met this evil god in the forest, the evil god chose them. A group of people only choose one, and then let them surrender. , Eat their friends or family members in front of them! So many corpses hanging on those trees are their family and friends.
3. Those chosen by Cthulhu are the most ruthless
The English-speaking woman said that the reason for choosing a male lead is that the male lead suffers more pain. In fact, I prefer to believe that the male lead is more ruthless and can watch friends die without saving, and can even sacrifice their friends. To the Cthulhu, and those selected by the Cthulhu, like him, are the most ruthless people. They can dedicate their family and friends to the Cthulhu instead of having more pain in their hearts.
Fourth, the meaning of the last shout of the male protagonist
The male protagonist finally escaped and yelled at the Cthulhu. I think 1. It may be a provocation to the Cthulhu. The Cthulhu seems to be inseparable from the forest. The male protagonist stood outside the forest and provoked against it, similar to saying , Come, come, you just can't get out; 2. It may be a catharsis to the end of this bad hike. This nightmare journey, he lost all his friends, and he almost came to himself. I couldn’t get out, but I finally got out, so I shouted a few times, as if I was saying that I finally escaped; 3. Say goodbye to myself who was trapped by self-blame in the past. The male protagonist saw his friend killed from the beginning. He stayed still, and finally watched his friend be killed by the Cthulhu. He took the gun and ran out to fight actively. Finally he overcame his inner self-blame that he was not saved by the Cthulhu, especially when he was stepped on the ground by the Cthulhu. When the dead friend smiled, it showed that he was completely liberated; 4. Maybe there are other meanings, but I didn't expect it for the time being...
