Cult Suspense Science Fiction

First of all, I think that the essence of this film is not a cycle similar to a horror cruise. There are always people who have to compare this with a horror cruise.

This film should give the impression of high grass, endless roads, countless choices, the fear of being unable to get out, the powerlessness and insignificance that cannot compete with nature. But some people want to take the most insignificant point to say that the logic of this film does not fit.

Since the stone was added to this film, I didn’t plan to make this logic clear with you at all. I’ve already told you clearly that this is an ancient, cult, a special, unnatural stone, which is still there during the day. Not appearing (no stone will appear out of nowhere in the swamp, with unique textures), the stone will be worshipped after touching, etc. all indicate that this is a cult (eating children), but it is not created by people, because this A rock really gives strength to the person who touches it.

The characteristic of horror cruise ships, the characteristic of this film is the "loop", the accumulation of corpses, the same story development time and time again

The characteristic of this is that, in different time periods, different characters, and different spaces, there is no time to speak of in this tall grass (Tobin said at the beginning), and there is no space to speak of (Becky position change when jumping at the same time as Carl), unlike the horror cruise which is a single story loop. It is a choice, each choice corresponds to a different outcome, there are countless paths in the grass, and there are countless choices (the multiple corpses on the ground when Carl and the boy's father were fighting correspond to Carl's different choices).

In addition, the atmosphere of the story is very well created. From ten minutes into the grass, the scalp has been tingling, whether it is the concept that the grass only moves living people, or seeing stones at night, or such a kind of innocence. Helping the desperate environment, time and space, and the interlacing of characters are all wonderful.
