I think it's a shame this movie has a very low rating, and I think it's one of the best sci-fi horror movies I've seen in years.
The main reason is that Calvin's settings are really great. Nine times out of ten, the alien creatures in the previous sci-fi horror films were hairless beasts with sharp teeth and sharp teeth, or disgusting reptiles with ferocious limbs, creating horror. In the atmosphere, an ugly face suddenly filled the camera, accompanied by a loud neigh and the victim's shrill screams, but this film is relatively quiet, and the alien creature Calvin has no sharp teeth, let alone sharp teeth. Roaring or screaming, some are just persistent and cunning to use their tentacles to find the cracks. In this silence, I felt viscerally terrified from Calvin's aggressive display to the end.
Calvin wrapped tightly around the commander's legs, walked up and down outside her walking suit, looking for a breakthrough, and when she found that she was about to leave the space station and lost its greater use value, she decisively abandoned her and returned to the space station.
Xiu hid in the dormant cabin, and Calvin's tentacles carefully stroked the gaps in the entire hatch, trying to open the hatch.
When faced with the threat of death, the thing that breaks a person the most is not the sharpening of the killer's knife before the execution, but the fact that you hide behind the door and the killer smashes the lock outside the door one by one. The former only conveys a message of death that you have already clearly known, while the latter is reminding you how fragile your fate insurance is, and depriving you of your hope of surviving face to face little by little - the door may be hard to break, but he will never give up, and you You and he both know that as long as he smashes a few more times, he will definitely succeed, and you will have nowhere to go.
Calvin roamed outside the commander's suit and groped outside the dormant cabin. He didn't use his fangs and claws to bite and scratch like a brainless tiger, leopard and jackal. With persistence in it, the feeling is not an evenly matched fight, but it is like opening a can and condescending, as if the astronauts are not prey to it at all, just food.
When Gyllenhaal lured Calvin with an oxygen candle, Calvin generously enjoyed the oxygen and heat in front of Gyllenhaal, not caring what Gyllenhaal would do. The confidence and contempt conveyed by this body language, compared to Gyllenhaal's silence, is the most terrifying.
The performance of the actors was also great. When Brother Hei was entangled in Calvin's hand, he was so painful and anxious that he even fainted. In the end, his expression became numb, and he pulled out his hand calmly with a sad face-because he knew, Calvin had crushed his whole hand, and he could pull it out, but his hand was finished.
In a moment of panic, we may be able to reorganize our sexuality and courage, but when despair comes, how can we continue?
This scene has a great sense of sound. Use body language, not lines or a dry cry. Of course this lens is not an exception.
The sheer horror atmosphere doesn't rely on a mystical or ugly appearance, it's really using the unexpected threat of alien creatures to warn the audience.
A cute starfish crushed the bones of an astronaut's hand. Massacred the entire space station, and then, perhaps consciously, came to Earth.
It can sensitively sense air movement and must also have an intuitive sense of gravity. It raised Gyllenhaal's arm operating the escape pod, perhaps sensing the relief of gravity, and the consequent consequences, of Gyllenhaal's actions. It's tasted electric shocks and fires, it's tasted oxygen deprivation, and it's been tried many times to be jettisoned in outer space. To survive, it must avoid these things from happening again—and it succeeds.
We weak human beings, relying on wisdom to eat so many ancient beasts with fangs and claws, stand at the top of the earth's food chain, and now face Calvin without fangs and claws, can we still remain invincible?
After all, what is truly terrifying is never fangs and claws.
In addition, the film's gravity performance and the use of windows during shooting are also remarkable.
