The film was filmed in 1979, and it took two years to complete the filming, and the cost was about 85,000 U.S. dollars. The funding of the film is obviously restricted, and material shortages can be seen everywhere: it can only be made with 16 mm film; most of the plot is filmed in a small wooden house and surrounding groves. At the beginning of the movie, the car driving over the iron bridge is one of the few location scenes in the movie, but in this scene, there are passers-by passing by in the uninhabited field, which shows the lack of funds.
In addition, the movie was shot with a very rudimentary video camera, and the equipment and devices used are also unconventional and clumsy. Even after digital restoration today, it still looks like a home video tape, but a team of filming staff has the talent to make up for the shortcomings. , The film scenes shot with rudimentary equipment are full of innovation and wit. As soon as "Ghosts" was released, it easily surpassed the previously infamous directorial debuts "The Last House on the Left" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 1974). The creative comic element in the film adds an interesting but at the same time disturbing feel to the film.
Sam Remy himself has not received any professional training in film, and he acted entirely on his feelings when shooting. The plot of the film itself is very pale, and Sam Remy's real focus lies in the creation of the atmosphere and the setting of the thrilling sections one after another. Sam Remy made the entire horror scene full of tension through the editing of the screen and the movement of the camera, showing his outstanding control. The soundtrack and sound effects of the film seem to be not clever or even cumbersome today, but its ubiquitous attitude makes them seamlessly integrated with the picture. Particularly commendable is Sam Remy’s ability to capture the camera. Compared with Michael Bay’s thorough global shots, Sam Remy pays more attention to the movement of subjective shots and the free switching of perspectives. It is precisely because of his always The unchanging shooting concept makes Spider-Man look more comfortable and thrilling when he shuttles between the high-rise buildings in New York.
Low cost cannot stop the horror that penetrates through the lens. The almost uncontrolled violence and bloody lens was very shocking in the early 1980s. With its innovative and constantly changing lens language, sudden conflicts, changes in rhythm, film-to-film blood clots, ghostly follow-up shots, and the black humor interspersed with it, the audience is in a twists and turns. In the plot, he fell into a fear of being unable to extricate himself from it. And thus formed Sam Remy's unique movie style. When the film was shot, it was at the low tide of horror films. The first-class horror scenes and atmosphere creation methods had a profound impact on subsequent horror films. Not only did it quickly become popular in Europe, America and Southeast Asia, it was regarded as the most popular in Europe and America. The influential and most popular classic ghost thriller has even been highly appreciated and respected by horror masters such as Stephen King, and this has triggered a new wave of horror films, such as the subsequent sequel, "The Corpse Played the World" and "Return of the Living Dead".
The director Federico Alvarez of "Ghosts" is still making some detailed deletions to achieve the goal of R-rated screening. Today, "Ghosts" also exposed a segment for the first time at the New York Comic Con. The foreign media commented that the segment designed a sufficiently filmable atmosphere, but whether the story is as interesting as the previous one is still unknown. Sam Remy directed the low-cost horror movie "Ghost Man" in 1981, but it was unexpectedly popular. Later, he released two sequels in 1987 and 1992. The "Ghost Man" trilogy was also seen by fans. As one of the representative works of "Cult Movies", although Sam Remy has also produced horror genres afterwards, none of them has reached the height of "Ghosts". Twenty years after the release of the third "Ghosts", the new version of "Ghosts" was officially launched, and Sam Remy used a brand new front and back team. The new version of "Ghosts" will be directed by "Panic Attack" director Federico Alvarez
