Commercial blockbuster

The beginning of the film is a flying saucer flying to the earth. The "weird" is actually an alien. I don't have any impression of aliens anymore. I only remember that aliens attach to human bodies, which are powerful and disgusting. The setting of the strange shape actually follows the abnormal shape, I think it is also a commercial consideration. What a cool movie this should have been, flying saucers, mutations, type three... After
reading the whole story, it is inevitable that Ni Kuang would think of it. Assuming that this story is written by Ni Kuang, I think it should be roughly as follows: a
few aliens are flying a flying saucer in the universe, unfortunately the flying saucer crashed and fell to the earth, they attached to human beings, trying to make a new flying saucer to return to their planet. The attached person is the third mutant type, which has some characteristics that humans don’t have. This makes the unattached people suspicious, more and more suspicious, leading to killing, but the third type eventually caused the flying saucer and left. The earth.
——So what this story reveals should be human beings' wariness of the universe, not the harm of the universe to humans.
Why the third type was taken so disgustingly and obscenely, I am puzzled.

    It once again proved Carpenter's first-class atmosphere control, becoming one of the few horror films that people still have lingering fears after watching. Compared with Hawks' original version, the addition of the deformation imitation setting instantly doubles the horror of the whole film. But I have to say that the final presentation of the soundtrack is still Carpenter's own tune, which is a bit of a waste of Morricone's joining.
