What's happened

Indeed, you can also be called a movie for a day without moving against the Empire State Building, and someone will applaud it. But if you are going to use it to sell for money, then somehow make people know what you want to do.
The atmosphere of this movie is indeed the best among the horror films I have seen recently, and my expectations for it are also raised a little bit, and then I just hang on and not let it down.
Many places in this film have not been explained, not only the source of the virus and the method of infection, but also a series of doubts about Julian's inexplicable dislike of Alma and the seemingly perceptive Jess. It feels like it's just a part of a series. I can see that Shyamalan wants to express the concept of environmental protection and human introspection, but since human beings are so dull that you need to use movies to teach you, why not just make it clear.
The only advantage of this movie is that if you remove the subtitles for loop playback, there is no feeling of unsmoothness.
