In the plot, the aliens are not simply invaders, but a superior and enigmatic force, whose technological and destructive power surpasses anything humanity can imagine. They are not presented as diplomats or with a desire for slow colonization: they arrive with a warlike, devastating, and almost absolute purpose.
The most disturbing thing is that their origin and motivations are never fully explained, leaving an air of mystery. Some critics see this as a success (maintaining the incomprehensible as part of the horror), while others consider it a weakness (because their background is not explored in depth)
