A pity, a sigh!

2 stars, the bigger the expectation, the bigger the disappointment. It was originally a popular superhero-themed work that should have been released a few years ago. It has been delayed until now, giving people the feeling that it has been completely abandoned. When Fox was acquired, in the end, this film was left with a miserable character. First, the "special effects", the biggest attraction of Chaoying films, are bland, outdated and aesthetically fatigued. The scene is small, wandering around the hospital. The plot is so weak that it takes time to introduce the background of the characters, the main plot is completely ignored, and the "bad omen" of the big BOSS behind the scenes does not appear. The heroine plays soy sauce all the way, and others fight her to sleep. It's really a waste of time to leave "Wolf Girl of Quanyou" and "Anya" unused. It can be seen that there are in-depth character settings such as horror, psychological growth, etc., but unfortunately the time is too short and the explanation is unclear. Not only is it not scary, but it makes the film look illogical and weird. It's over without a second thought. As Fox's last superhero-themed work before it was acquired, it's a pity and a shame.
