Not Cthulhu, better than Cthulhu

I read a few important novels in the myth of Cthulhu first and then watched this film by chance. I immediately felt the chill on my back.
A classmate told me that this film is just disgusting, but I can't agree with it. Putting aside the connotation I will talk about below, this film created this kind of hunting game in claustrophobia nearly 35 years ago. It has to be said that its dramatic tension is extremely strong. Of course, special effects makeup is also the highlight of the film. But this film is by no means the kind that has no pictures.
Second, this film is like Cthulhu. Being on the earth creates a sense of horror in outer space. This implicit sense of horror requires some experience in sci-fi works to be perceived, but once you have it This kind of perception ability, this kind of horror will shock you far more than the horror that this movie of Weird can bring to you.

Think about it, how big the universe is, how many unknown beings dormant in the vast sea of ​​stars? Some things may be far beyond our comprehensible range, far beyond our cognizable range, and far more powerful than we can imagine. The most frightening thing is that they are most likely to be unkind to us. And these extremely powerful and dangerous existences may instantly destroy our civilization that is less than ten thousand years old. We cannot resist them or even communicate with them.
And the strange form, like Cthulhu, actually told us that these terrifying evil existences are actually beside us, just sleeping beside us. One day, these evil gods will be awakened by the young and ignorant of us, and then in an instant, the civilization we were proud of will turn into dust in the dark sea of ​​stars, as if it had never existed before.

    Hundreds of variants, a few scenes are really hideous and chaotic, but fortunately it is a man's play. There is no cowardice, exaggerated howling, and vicious fighting spirit. Even when humanity and trust are being tested, the protagonists seem to have It is also beyond the calmness of ordinary people-this is even more weird, making people stand up, and the atmosphere is full of horror. The soundtrack can be said to be very good, and it is not a small help to promote the plot. How did the golden plums come from? It's surprising.

    The first part of John Carpenter's "Apocalypse" trilogy, a sci-fi horror classic comparable to "Alien". The remake of "Weirdo" produced by Howard Hawks in 1951, the 1982 version surpassed the old version in all aspects. The film is immersed in a strange and terrifying atmosphere from the beginning, and then it can make you want to divert your attention for a moment. The film is also a benchmark in film special effects makeup.
