My evaluation of this director is that he can make good-looking niche literary films, but he is a director who likes to make science fiction films . Therefore, the polarization of his films has always been serious. Most of the audiences who like sci-fi films have low aesthetic requirements and like exciting scenes and so on. And a small part of the audience can see things that the audience can't see, and these blank spaces are the beautiful places in this piece.
I paid attention to this director after watching the signal a few years ago. This deep-sea strange beast did not disappoint me. It can be said to be a treasure director. I am afraid that investors will not vote for him and have no new movies to watch. Watch one less.
Someone in the comment section ranked it like this
The ranking of the pros and cons of the Cthulhu-style movies I have seen so far is
Cloverfield Archives Series>Mist>Forbidden Zone>The Cabin in the Woods>Extremely Deep Cold>Deep Sea Strange Beast>The Color of the Stars. As for monster movies such as aliens and monsters, it has little to do with the type of Cthulhu. If the cave is also counted, it ranks before the cabin in the woods.
But in fact, I want to say that although his theme is partial to Cthulhu, what he wants to show is not a sci-fi, thriller, or monster movie in the traditional sense.
His movies are more beautiful, hazy, and more stream-of-consciousness than ordinary sci-fi movies, and his personal style is in it. Whether it's Cthulhu in this one, or Signal's abduction by aliens, these are just his storytelling. Cutting into the way, science fiction is his means of expression.
