My Watch Book: "Dark Invasion 1"

"Invasion of Darkness" is regarded as a classic in horror films by many people, but I don't really like it. It is true that it reveals a bit of humanity, and the ending is also very impactful, but the process of characterization and the rationality of the plot are very lacking in my opinion. In the Jedi on the front line of life and death, the revenge of the female number one on the female number two is very untimely, because in the case of facing death threats and working together to survive, even if the other party is her husband’s junior, this kind of hatred will be Diluted, not infinitely magnified. Human beings will abandon their companions for their own survival. Such a plot conforms to the view of selfishness of human nature and should be reasonable; but when one's own life is also threatened, he will stab his comrades who share the same ups and downs for a bit of hatred a long time ago. It seems too much, this kind of treatment, on the contrary, it is more convincing to let the two people burst out when they are about to walk out of the hole.
