There are too many loopholes in the plot, the 82-year-old version of the dog-tailed sequel.
First of all, according to the setting, we can know that the monster has the ability to copy the creatures absorbed by it, so there is a big plot hole: there is only one dog in the film, the Norwegian Lars who does not speak English, It appeared when the monster was just dug up in the title, and the dog was obviously not a husky, and then the monster ate the dog. So why did the monster at the end of the film turn into a husky and run away? Where can it get information on the husky's appearance and other information? The director was too careless in handling the details. In order to echo the old version, he should also find a Husky to shoot.
Secondly, the ability of the monster is overstated. Because this work is a prequel to the 82 version, the monster should be the type that appeared in the 82 version rather than an evolved version. From the 82 version, we know that although this monster looks scary, it is actually a monster with a low force value. Its action mode is more inclined to attack the lone humans and slowly digest them and replace them. It will not be easily exposed until it is a last resort. In the 82 version, it is really impossible to hide it / was electrocuted / burned to take a risk to attack a person, why is the monster in this movie always in unnecessary situations Sudden self-destruction? One is that there is absolutely no need to attack other people on the helicopter. At that time, it did not know that the heroine had found it or what the heroine was doing. It was not good for it to attack others and cause the helicopter to crash. Second, when it was about to end, it suddenly blew up in front of many people, and regarded the two flamethrowers as nothing (really let it catch the flamethrower and broke it, this piece is nothing new and completely copied the 82 version) and also Attacked several people.
Third, the depiction of strange shapes is inconsistent before and after. As soon as we killed it at the beginning, we knew that this monster had tentacles and could stretch very long, but when we were chasing and killing the heroine, we couldn't reach it... Then when we were chasing the heroine, he moved slowly and turned against the nimble skills before, okay? It's easy to drag the heroine out by grabbing her legs and not eating her quickly, but slapped the heroine, which really left me speechless. The strange shape may have been damaged by the shining heroine's halo.
Fourth, the male protagonist's behavior pattern is confusing. When the heroine finally set fire to the hero, he made a strange cry, and we can tell that the hero has turned into a monster at that time. So, please, before getting into the car, the hero and heroine are one-on-one, and the hero still has flames in his hand. The weapon is used as a weapon (that is to say, the heroine has no power to fight back), then according to the logic, the monster should simply eat the heroine neatly, and then only he is left to drive to other camps for help. Anyway, at that time, the only survivors were him and others. Unable to know the truth of the matter, you can also infect other camps by the way. But he didn't, and was tricked by the hostess to take away the flamethrower and finally burned to death. Um... all I can say is that a good hand is sloppy.
Finally, one of the most important information in the 82 edition to learn that the monster kills is the costume! Because it strikes a person without destroying the person's clothes. And this is completely ignored in this work... Take the last male protagonist as an example, why was he attacked by a monster and his clothes were not damaged? Did he take off his clothes in the snow and ice and wait for the monsters to attack?
Although the method of identification by teeth is an innovation, it weakens the sense of horror brought by the monster. Because teeth are very easy to identify, it is very simple and feasible to determine the identity of the other party by looking at the teeth first. In the old version, the blood test is not the case, and the operation is relatively difficult. Even if you are sure that each other is still human, it is hard to say whether it is a human or a monster that comes back once dispersed. The setting of this detection can greatly strengthen the psychological pressure of everyone's self-intimidation brought by the monster.
All in all, this work is really nothing new. The script is copied from the 82 version, and a bunch of loopholes have been added... Then the use of bgm and lens is very ordinary. It can only be said that it is an ordinary horror film technique that is not bad or bad. The large number of sci-fi and alien scenes in this work is actually completely contrary to the concept of Cthulhu, which makes the theme of the entire film unclear at once.
On the whole, the special effects are still good. If you don't walk independently with the previous work, you can actually beat a large number of horror movies, but unfortunately, there are many loopholes in the comparison. Although the plot can't stand up to scrutiny, it is still very good as a pastime when you are bored, comprehensive Samsung.
