In 1975, Spielberg's "Great White Shark" was released. This is about a great white shark attacking a human-inhabited seaside town. Police chiefs, oceanographers, and shark catchers gathered together to kill the sharks. The story of defending the homeland, due to its realistic special effects and superb storytelling techniques, caused a huge sensation at the time. It immediately opened a decades-long wave of marine thrillers on the screen, and even "Piranha 3D". It follows the narrative routine of "Jaws". Regarding this "Shark Night", Chris Bridges, who once supervised the "Human Skin Inn" series, said: "Thrillers will have some special features. For the audience, the sensory stimulation will be placed on the story. Therefore, shooting thrillers in 3D format is an unstoppable trend. This is also the goal we set at the beginning of the filming of "Shark Fright." At the beginning of the filming of this movie, we found everything "Jaws" movies, among them is "Jaws 3", that is a 3D movie, 3D almost 30 years ago, also gave us some inspiration. This movie made us realize that we can make "Shark Fright Night" "The transition between humor and horror, and the most important point is that this movie does not need to be so bloody, because "Jaws 3" is a PG-level movie, but it still captures the audience, so whether it can To scare the audience, naked bloody gore is not the most important thing, the scheduling of the atmosphere is the first thing. Therefore, under the guidance of these wonderful previous works, "Shark Fright Night" finally made us feel satisfied. Appeared in front of the audience."
David R. Ellis, who directed this film, was once the director of " Final Destination 2 ", " The Final Destination " and " Cellular ". He is good at mobilizing a thrilling atmosphere to calm the audience. A new attempt, David R. Ellis said: “When I got this script, I didn’t have much feeling. To be honest, there are too many stories like this, and the movies about sharks attacking humans are nothing more than those. At the stage, most viewers can imagine the structure of the whole story by themselves. However, in the process of talking with the producer, I gradually discovered the interesting part of "Shark Fright Night". This is a routine that uses "Ghosts". Come to shoot an interesting combination of shark thrillers. "Ghosts" is a movie that impressed me very much. Even if I watch it now, it is still scary enough. So I thought, if you put "Ghosts" What will happen if the demon in here is replaced by a shark? So, I re-organized the story of "Shark Cry Night" and began to realize that there are more possibilities in this movie. Later, I met the screenwriter again, Regarding how this story was rewritten on the existing basis, we later used the currently very popular story routine-the suburbs, small villas, a group of handsome men and beauties, they have fun, completely unaware of the disaster that is coming to their heads. Okay. After the blueprint of this story, the screenwriter began to create again, and finally the story of "Shark Fear Night" was born. In the current version of the story, the fate of several protagonists is becoming more "tragic", and it also exposes some faint existence. Social issues, of course, this is not the focus of the story itself, but I think for the audience, what they are more willing to see is how these human protagonists are "tortured" by sharks. This is the focus of this film."
There are too many stories about sharks attacking human beings. So apart from the novelty of technology, in the 3D-branded "Shark Fright Night", are there other elements that can refresh the audience? Regarding this point, screenwriter Will Hines said: "The story of the first version of "The Night at Sharks" is still a typical seaside town against the piranha shark, but after working with the director, the current The version of "Shark Night" is actually a classic thriller mode, and the atmosphere is very different from the story we designed before. This time we set the story in the wilderness, an impossible Where there are sharks, the protagonists think so, but the sharks appear, not serial murderers, nor underground demons. The danger that appears comes from the water, creatures that have been on this earth for thousands of years-sharks. This is for The protagonists have never considered things. They are helpless with the sharks. How to escape the danger? Why do the sharks attack humans? What kind of changes will happen in this group of protagonists? This is what "Sharks Night" wants to talk to the audience The storyline to explore."
