It turned out to be a black and white movie!

The classic B-level movies are not outdated at all. Both the script setting and the photography are very commendable. The magic flower in the sky, the sudden drop town, the mutant plant, the clone, the identity recognition, if the human appearance and memory are Copy, are we still us? How are we different from them? This kind of high concept is quite advanced in all aspects, and the restored picture quality is completely new. The fear of the black and white era is worthy of taste.

8.5/10. ① Horror movie: The large-scale seizure of the human town by the alien plants growing in the flower (the setting is that people will be seized when they fall asleep), and the male protagonist escaped from the town by luck. The narrative is compact. ②Use a lot of low-key lighting in film noir style + expressionist light and shadow to render a sense of suspense and mystery (although not the strongest); use many (high-level) long-lens lens movements/scene arrangements to enhance the sense of realism/immersion. ③ Not very scary or very treacherous. ④The hole was dug and not filled: The reason for the two disappearing bodies. ⑤Although some people suspect that the film satirizes McCarthyism or is anti-communist, the leading actor said in an interview in 1998 that the story of the film has no political intentions.
