At the beginning of this
movie, people face new, strange creatures. They beat people to death and no one
knows about their information. People are gathered in a big discount store to
avoid them. They are afraid of strange creatures. They keep hunting people, and
people don’t know how to defend themselves from those disgusting. The movie is
fast-moving. In ten minutes, people hide to avoid the kind of monsters. People
just wait for government’s help, and they fight for trivial reasons in the
store.
Critics called this movie as
a B movie. Personally, I can’t understand their estimation. We can guess they
just considered limited space -actually, during the most of running time, we
just see people in the store-, or they felt that the plot is similar to those
of other movies. They could think so, but if they do so, they missed some
important parts of this movie. Then what are the parts?
First, it is similar to others, but it also has a little difference from
them. In most of Horror and Thriller movie, main characters are strong, calm,
and they never give up hopes. It seems that this hero-David- is also strong and
calm at first, but getting the end of the movie, this movie shows his another
features. He was brave and active at first, but he couldn’t keep his precious
someone in the end. From this plot, we can find it repetitive hardships could
reduce people’s judgment.
Second, the movie describes well mob psychology when in danger. In the
store, they have all things to survive, but they continue division. Someone wants
to go outside, and other one tried to propagate her pseudo-religion. Normal
people also become mad. They start to believe the false religion, and try to kill
each other as a sacrifice for monsters. We find that we can easily be cruel and
violent when we meet unknown risk.
Finally, the government comes to the village to help them. However, it
is so late. People are already crazy, and they’ve fallen into despair. This
situation is similar to real-world situation. Usually, our government very
belatedly responds to many things.
In conclusion, this movie gives us several lessons, so I give it
four points of five points.
