Wes Craven can be regarded as the leading horror film master in the world. Since the first "The Last House on the Left" was released in 1972 , Wes Craven has directed "" "A Nightmare on Elm Street" "Scream" "Red Eye" Waiting for well-known horror works, and the horror works he participated in have been remade several times, but Wes Craven filmed such an original work "My Soul to Take" before preparing for "Scream4 " . Regarding this work that surprised movie fans, Wes Craven said: "The idea of shooting this movie was actually born during the preparation of "Scream4". The script was originally written for "Scream4", but as the story progressed Going deeper, I feel more and more that this story should not be the "Scream" series, it can be completely independent into a chapter and become a new story. So when the final script took shape, I had decided to shoot this movie into a brand new movie. , It is "25/8". Later, when the film was in post-production, everyone told me that the title was not enough to reflect the content of the film, and the film company also hoped that the title could make the audience clear at a glance. The story, after all, this is a horror film, not an art film, so in the end, the title changed to "My Soul to Take"."
Wes Craven is quite satisfied with the story he wrote by himself: "I like to explore the struggle of human nature in horror themes. This story gives me a very good room for development. It is a typical "tracing the truth" theme. The film The protagonist of is a young man. He and his friends have suffered inexplicable life threats. Therefore, he has to find the real murderer and find out the answer before death. With his perspective, the story will reveal all the ugliness that happened that year. Then the audience will understand why the murderer carried out such a killing. In fact, there is still a suspense in this film, that is, whether there is a'ghost' in the story. I consciously brought some elements from the past in "A Nightmare on Elm Street". In this movie, I hope this will make the movie more interesting. Everyone will guess in the process of watching, whether the story will develop, is it "A Nightmare on Elm Street" or "Scream"? When the movie reaches half During an hour , I think the audience will be very surprised."
In his decades of directorship, Wes Craven has shot almost all thriller and horror films. Warm music films like "Music of the Heart" have become the only anomalies in the history of Wes Craven's directing. Why is Wes Craven so fond of horror subjects? Will he continue to direct movies like "Music of the Heart" in the future? In this regard, Wes Craven said: “I really like horror movies. This is because horror movies can satisfy many of my ideas about filming. I hope to express in the movies that people suffer from the crisis in extreme environments. The desperate behavior of seeking a living. Of course, another reason is that I have a little obsession with plasma, and it happens that horror movies can meet my two needs at the same time. In fact, I do not reject other types of movies. , But I think there are more directors who can do better than me, so when I come into contact with a good story in this area, I will first think, if a director is asked to shoot this story, will he be better than I shoot better? So, maybe I will shoot some different types of movies in the future, but this is not what I am thinking about at the moment."
