The suspense is ingenious and has dry goods, but the cult elements that cover the whole article really touch the bottom line of my stomach. I am used to watching Hanbani eat brain flowers.

In the 99 years since the film was born, the society was extremely afraid of online games, so all kinds of exaggerated worries and warnings about the future appeared, and the original intention was good. What I don't understand is, what is the mentality and intention of using the bloody alien meat to reflect on Internet addiction? If heroin, cannabis, and ancient methamphetamine are all feces-shaped and smelly, the drug problem can be solved automatically, how can you be tempted & unable to extricate yourself?

    What a fun sci-fi comedy cult with a solid and creative rationale: reflexive visual neuroimaging, since images both (fictionally) come from the inverse generation of neural signals and act on our optic nerves. So the two-headed monster seems to be a perverted metaphor for the relationship between audience-movie-character. Praising the vision spurning the flesh is not "long live the new flesh" again.
