Sci-fi thriller close to the essence

There are no vulgar routines, no complicated emotional entanglements, just a story about a group of people and an easily tolerable alien creature in a semi-closed space. As a sci-fi movie, it has already reached its limit. Due to the limitation of the age, the special effects level of this film is not very good, but it still gives people a sense of horror. Perhaps the most primitive monster without any cool special effects can arouse people's fear even more. The extremely imaginative monster shape, the right plasma and the claustrophobic suffocation in the space together create such a science fiction thriller that is closer to the essence.

Of course, this film did not focus on the alien creatures, did not pursue its origin, but only described an accident that happened when the alien ship flew over the earth with a few simple shots at the beginning. This film focuses on the terrible actions people make in a state of mutual distrust. All people can be enemies. It also gave birth to the deaths of several innocent victims. Pure thoughts are more pure fears.

    The monster and the monster prequel are read together. The creative shape creature invades, and it is even more rare to show the suspicion, ruthlessness and struggle between people

    It's really good-looking, a horror masterpiece that combines suspense, horror and blood, but because I prefer secret room thrillers, this movie can still attract me from the beginning. The whole movie is actually very similar to "Alien". It is a monster movie that takes place in a small-scale scene, and it is equally bloody and full of horror. I watched the prequel of this a long time ago, and there are quite a lot of connections. I have time to watch it again.
