The really frightening story is that they are the true

Horror movies have always been my favorite. I really like watching those bloody and tragic pictures. Westerners are always scary and Japanese make your scalp numb. They all have their own flavors, but they really make you tingle. I am excited, and I still hope to see the last scene where evil does not suppress the righteousness. Whether it is with the power of faith or the sharpness of the axe, it makes people very addicted.

In today’s film, there is no evil, no blood (really no blood), no zombies and murderers. The whole story is full of petri dishes, microscopes, various disinfection tools, several tall, short, thin, beautiful and ugly. Different scientists, chattering for a long time, no special effects, even the dead have good facial features, and they seem to die without pain.

The film "Great Catastrophe", it seems that the name is very inconsistent with the content of the film.

But after watching the movie, the shock was real.

Because it is too real, it seems to have happened in real.

Nothing is scarier than this. The movie hints to everyone that the earth escaped a catastrophe in the 1950s and 1960s. Judging from the afterthought, it really fits the name of the film.

In the first half of the film, when exploring the place where the incident occurred, the style is very similar to "Yin Yang Devil Realm", in a seemingly normal town, abnormal mass deaths, everything is still, all creatures are dead, especially weird , And the more mystery is that everyone’s corpse is not abnormal. The entire exploration is full of unknowns and doubts. The survivors who are suddenly discovered at the end bring more doubts, very similar to the first season of "Yin Yang Devil". The first episode.

The follow-up part, for quite a long time, many people began to feel very dull, because all the following scenes are indoor scenes, and all of them are large sections of dialogue, but for me, this section is for the prevention of unknown creatures. The measures are too real, and the seemingly complicated process makes humans’ fear of unknown creatures more obvious.

From the isolation of different floors, to the cumbersome replacement and complete incineration of personnel’s clothing, to the use of various unfamiliar disinfection methods, such as light, airflow, radiation, liquids, etc., it seems that all the methods known to man have been placed in this small In a small enclosed space.

Unable to increase the rigor, and even arranged a final solution, a nuclear explosion.

Due to the limitation of the level of special effects at the time, and the director Wise was not good at expressing bloody scenes, he was very clever to trace the lines from the side, telling the audience the terrible creatures, whether it was the details of disinfection, or The dialogue of these scientists, if a substance is full of incomprehension to scientists, then the mystery that it brings to the audience is even more incomprehensible.

And what I am most emotional about is the ending. The previous hidden clues were finally broken with a sentence of the male lead. Although it is suddenly understood, this feeling of giving you the answer all at once does not have the enjoyment of deriving the layers.

In addition, the last big crisis has nothing to do with the main line. Inexplicably, I don’t know what the screenwriter thinks. I guess I want to make the tough guy really tough once. After all, there is a big guy like a nuclear bomb, and it’s not good for him to be so idle. Have to find something.
