Four points are not too much. The movie released in 1985 was completely shocked by the imagination of that day. The movie overcomes the lack of technology in that era, but it integrates "bat" vampires, space exploration, zombie spread, Freud Psychological energy, each of these items is worth reading.
Vampires are different from today's vampire-themed movies. Aliens acted as vampires. I don't know if it was people's different understandings of vampires in that era or the director's artificial and clever fusion of aliens and vampires. Humans disguised as humanoids reach the earth to absorb the "energy" of human beings, which is different from the absorption of "human blood" in vampire movies.
The film begins a space exploration, which is the background of the film.
After the aliens absorb the "energy" of people, people become a group of zombies, and they also bite and "infect" each other like "The Walking Dead" and "Resident Evil". on the ship.
Freudian mental energy. This is the author's own interpretation. Not as clear as the first three categories. Throughout the whole film, there are many elements such as hypnosis, energy, consciousness communication, etc., which makes the author who has read "Self and Id" before also follow the imagination.
In a word, the biggest feature of the film is the basic elements of composition-----aliens, space, vampires, etc. are similar to ordinary films, but the film was released earlier, and the director's perspective is not like today's zombies, vampires, etc. The typical plot is like: people are sucked out of energy before they wither into zombies, a refreshing feeling, secretly admiring the creator's unbridled imagination


. Chinese filmmakers are always used to attribute shoddy production to the backwardness of industrial technology, and this film is a powerful response
