After the film was released at the Sundance Film Festival, there were mixed reviews. It is true that it has many flaws, but it does not prevent this work from still carrying surprises. The story takes place in the 1980s, with a retro style and a thrilling suspense atmosphere. With the ethical affection and the pleasure and enmity of Western films, the film is very well done. Whether it is country music or the use of filter colors, the viewer is full of enjoyment in the process of watching the film, with a sense of texture, and a real American 80 The age is perfectly restored.

The main suspense card of this film is too procrastinated in the plot, back and forth, and every suspenseful baggage shakes away has to go through a relatively long incubation period. Although the story is full of twists and turns, the drama is extremely strong, but because of the "dramatic style" "Turn", the rhythm is not smooth, and the feeling is abrupt, as if you are eating a barbecue and singing at the beach, and suddenly a monster falls from the sky.

Director Jim Mike tried to explore ethics and humanity through this film. Although it is a horror card, it is definitely qualified for the audience to think about life. The murder scene in the final ending paragraph was shot vigorously and directly, as if Russell said: "If a dog you raise goes bad and starts hurting people, you have only two choices, lock it or kill it, which one do you think? A little bit cooler"? This passage is commonplace, and when combined with a shot that exploded his son's head, it shocked the soul incomparably.

Like most people who have watched the film, the viewers also want to know who the burglar Richard killed in the beginning was, but unfortunately, the mystery is not revealed at the end of the film. It's just a bad luck. Even though the film has very obvious shortcomings, the theme is too simple and not deep, but it is definitely a film worth watching, just because of this "style sudden change", don't you want to feel it?
