    Character Evaluation

    In the movie "Hard Candy", director David Slade has his own unique choice in lens use. For example, in terms of lens scenes, he uses close-ups the most; in terms of holding the camera, the slight shaking movement of the lens caused by handheld photography is formed. In terms of lens length, it is composed of a large number of short lenses. The use of such dense close-up shots makes any subtle changes in the actor's expressions affect the hearts of the audience. In the close-up shots, since there is basically no white space on the screen and no breathing space is left for the audience, it will also create a sense of depression and instability, which makes the audience feel that something is happening, and it also plays a role in the foundation of the film’s tone. It plays an extremely important role .

      Remake and improve brain hole random thoughts (spoiler involved)

      The first 30 minutes of the movie before the polar night was shot very well, not to mention the despairing atmosphere that some people pretend to say, just the...

      Boilerplate Learning for Horror Movies

      I am an invulnerable staunch boycott of horror movies.

      The history dates back to 1993. In elementary school, my father showed me a 731, and then gave me nightmares for 17 years.

      In 2007, when I was in college, Ading and I watched "Seven Nights". I didn't say anything, but Jiang Qinqin played very...

      The leading vampire is handsome enough, and the other vampires are hideous enough, it's just fast and furious~

      Watching the crying vampire, the last weathered scene is very impressive

    30 Days of Night quotes

    • The Stranger: No whiskey. No rum.

      Lucy Ikos: Alcohol's illegal this month. Folks have hard enough time in the dark without booze making it worse.

      The Stranger: Well forget about... the liquor, Lucy. Just bring me a bowl of raw hamburger.

      Lucy Ikos: You can only get meat two ways around here - frozen or burned.

      [the Stranger grabs Lucy's hand]

      The Stranger: You don't bring me what I want to eat. What I want to drink.

      Sheriff Eben Oleson: That's enough, pal. Leave the lady be.

      [the Stranger releases Lucy, and Eben sits down next to him at the counter]

      Sheriff Eben Oleson: Hey, what do you say the two of us go outside and have a little talk, huh?

      The Stranger: Now what's wrong with a man who wants a little fresh meat?

      Sheriff Eben Oleson: Come on. You and me. Let's go. I'm taking you outside.

      [the Stranger suddenly gets up and faces him]

      The Stranger: I would like to see that.

    • Sheriff Eben Oleson: [yelling to distract the vampires] Come on, motherfuckers!
