Anti-Cthulhu with Cthulhu

One of the peculiarities of "Deep Sea Beasts" is that it uses very, very Cthulhu monsters to tell a clear, and even deliberately accurate, anti-Cthulhu story: it does not set off the atmosphere, and there is no scare point. , The main line is a compact and clear escape, so it is more like a disaster film than a deep-sea horror film-the alien animal is just an obstacle to survival, not the center of the movie. All the characters stand up (really rare, especially in the short 95 minutes), and the behavior logic is completely normal: don't die, don't delay, have no curiosity, just want to live. And you will find that everything they have done in the whole process is the best solution that normal humans can make in the face of that situation, including the response to "fear" and "unknown", without losing a little bit of humanity. emotion. In other words, the San value is completely online. And the driving force for their final ending is free will, without the influence of a strange beast. Mankind pays the price for greed. Mankind died on the way to survive. Mankind made sacrifices voluntarily. In the end, mankind won. You see, completely anti-Cthulhu. Therefore, it is not surprising that the film has two levels of word-of-mouth differentiation: some people will find it uncomfortable, and some people will find this kind of mingling very strange and nondescript. I like this movie very much. If it is a failure, it would be better to superfluous without the final news plot. This ending is actually a bit destructive. Finally, this movie is actually very audio-visual. If you can use the 55-inch 4K in the room, don’t watch it on a PC tablet.
