At the beginning, the atmosphere was created very well. Variations were developed. Bishop Rainy Night fell to the top of the building. It seemed that the film was well-made.
When the heroine bought the bugs from the two boys, she started to talk, and the plot took a turn for the worse. First of all, it is unbearable for the hostess to catch insects with her hands many times. As an entomologist, isn't she afraid of being bitten by insects? What if it is toxic? Secondly, the mutant bug broke into the hostess's office, and the entire window was destroyed. The hostess did not even notice such a big movement. And the mutant bug broke into the office just for a larva, but didn't harm the heroine, which didn't make sense. It contains two questions: How do mutant bugs track the larvae? Does the mutant bug have a tendency to kill?
The first question is that the movie did not explain. The second question is, in the whole movie, the mutant worm scared the bishop downstairs, looking like he was about to kill him; then the mutant worm killed the two children who found the egg sheath; the mutant worm killed the bishop and went back to find it. The security guard's companion Peter; the mutant insect took the little boy Zoe, but did not kill him; the mutant insect took the heroine Susan, but did not kill her; the mutant insect surrounded the hero Peter, but still did not kill him Abandoning him gave the hero a chance to detonate the gas. So I have been wondering, why mutant insects are so fierce and agile, but they don't kill people over and over again, and give people a chance to escape? The only explanation is that whoever the screenwriter wants to die is to die. Judging from the plot, there are at least dozens of mutant insects under the entire subway. Why did they only kill the bishop at the beginning and no more people died? Why did the protagonist group walk in the subway for a long time, and every time only one mutant appeared to scare people, and did not appear in a team until behind? Mutant bugs kill people as soon as they see them, and they don't stop watering them for a while. The screenwriter is really capricious.
Other troughs, such as the sudden decision of the black man to seek his own death to protect the hero and heroine, is really great and heroic; the little boy is calm and crying for a while, playing with a spoon at all times, looking like a normal person, I just want to strangle him.
At the end, I only felt that the mutant insect was so weak that it allowed two ordinary men and women and a mentally handicapped child to escape, feeling that I was being played by the screenwriter and wasting two hours of my time.
Regarding monster movies, the best one I have seen so far is "Weird Shape" (also called Mutant Type III). The monster model is quite brilliant and the suspenseful atmosphere is excellent. Followed by "Prometheus", the plot is quite complete, even more exciting than the "Alien" series.
