Spend an hour and a half happily, I think it’s enough

I watched it when I was very young, and after reviewing it, I found that no matter its plot trend, narrative rhythm, character setting and other links are very typical, it is a typical Hollywood work, that is, it caters to the tastes of most audiences, but does not Vulgar. There are many movies about the invisible man, and this one by John Carpenter is worth watching.

In fact, the director obviously has more intentions in it. For example, in the interpretation of the invisible person, there is a line that says "In fact, many people are usually invisible people". , And finally sacrificed depth for commercial considerations. However, there is no need to demand the depth of a commercial film. It's good-looking, fast-paced, easy to spend an hour and a half happily, I think this is enough, enough to learn a lot of movies.

Ps: Director John Carpenter is a famous Hollywood horror film master and B-level film master. At the end of 1978, he raised himself 350,000 US dollars to shoot the horror film "Moonlight Panic", which was very popular and earned more than 30 million US dollars. Since then, he has become a popular director and has successively filmed many sequels. Others include "Strange Forms", "Monsters in Chinatown", "Falling into the Tiger's Mouth", and "Operation Stiff enough".
The film still continues the low-cost style of the B-level film. The background, props, costumes, special effects, etc. are very simple, and there are no big stars. The villain is Sam Neal, who later shines in The Matrix.
