Just talk

I haven't been excited by a horror movie for a long time. Of course, I am not a horror movie viewer.
Under normal circumstances, when fright turns to fighting, they often swallow a reassurance pill, and the attitude is almost "it depends on how you fight." However, here, the melee combat between the weak woman who completely broke out in the small universe and the humanoid monster eater still made me startled. For example, the female number one squeezed the monster's eyeballs. This unbearable shot was quite long, and the hands covered with slime were still wiped on the pants... There is no doubt that it is another death-seeking story, bursting out in this prehistoric cave that is fraught with danger. Everything that comes out is best summed up as "survival instinct." The same story happened to six men, and it must be no play.
To speak of unity, before encountering a greater threat, it naturally needs to be carefully modified. Sarah was in distress, Beth stretched out his hand, Becca and Juno passed over the overhanging rock, and everyone rescued after Holly broke his leg. These shocking scenes were considered foreplay after the monster appeared. It can be seen that this film must definitely be praised. After Holly was quickly solved and Beth pierced his throat with a knife, the remaining question could only be "see how many of you die, how do you die". Unity, when two blonde girls face the approaching monsters tightly holding the atmosphere and dare not breathe, it is probably worth mentioning. When Juno indicated that he was determined to find Sarah, the other two showed that "fleeing is important" was already in his arms. When the two of them watched Becca die here, there was nothing to do.
In the end, the female No. 1 and No. 2 are no doubt, but the screenwriter obviously has no interest in letting them fight side by side to the end. Just at the beginning of the movie, they hid a disgraceful difference.
Maybe there is no point in discussion, Sarah is not a member of this team. To show that she is a weak person who has just walked out of death and pain, it was her who was frightened by the crows at first, and she was the first person who was terrified in distress, and she was also the one who was troubled by phantom sounds along the way. When Holly was injured, she was far away from the group. When she found the figure, everyone didn't believe it. From the appearance of the monster to the rendezvous with Juno, he experienced an infinite explosion of a small universe alone. Wading bloody water, when the monster stepped on its head and crawled past, resisting a word (the eyes at the time~), bloody fight... The shockingness of the scene and the credibility of the character transformation are as simple as I can point out. Then, after a fierce and short-term battle with Juno, the eyes were wicked and slashed in the leg.
Under the cruel red light of the survival instinct, this is another ugly knife of betrayal and hatred.
The first line of life came so easily after giving up friends, I felt that this woman could not climb up.
It was unexpected that this ending would be so vicious: the three minutes of escaping from hell became a great illusion before her burial.
There should be no one who doesn't like the movie ending like this.
