      The use and implication of cameras and videotape

      1

      The film begins with a tourist "entering the game". He uses the camera to take pictures of the beautiful scenery. The lens moves up, and we see the beautiful woman in red in the lens. Tourists were then seduced, tortured, and burned, while cameras were in the hands of the locals, who filmed the scene of his death.

      Why is there a "Frightening Island"?

      The best suspense thriller of the '80s, and it's still star-studded today.
        In the late 1990s, "Island Cry" appeared. Just like the schizophrenia fever, there have been endless genre films that have once again aimed at an unexpected ending, but this time the origin of the ancestors has become the "sixth sense", not this film. The result was the classic "Frightening Island".
        The ending is imitated, but the process is different. This film is more detailed and suspenseful, the...

      a little humble opinion

      Personally, it feels a bit like a mythical story about a tiger in ancient China. People eaten by tigers will become ghosts to trick living people into feeding tigers. It also destroys the tools hunters use to kill tigers. When I came to a foreigner, I became very close to life, and I shuddered when I saw that my back was really cold at the end. Some people say it's also a good thing that the people they kill like this will live on the island forever. But I personally think that this is...

      Are you telling the story of that world?

      A photographer went to the small island of Potters Bluff to take pictures, only to be caught by a group of people, burned to death and put in a car to disguise the appearance of a car accident. Such cases have frequently occurred on small islands recently, and most of the victims are foreigners. Sheriff Dan Gillis is responsible for investigating these cases. As the investigation unfolds, everything seems so implausible. The clues point to William G. Dobbs, the coroner who also runs the funeral...

      I don't know if I'm dead

      This photographer really hit the devil. He thought that when he met a beautiful girl at the beach, he would not only let him take pictures to make money for the playboy, but also fuck her. Suddenly, a group of men with cameras came out to beat him, including the old man. Even the little girl had a camera in his hand. Said welcome to Peter Bluff, then a woman set fire to burn him alive. The residents of this town are all fucking lunatic murderers who specialize in killing people passing by....

      In the 1980s, there were horror films with such evil themes, which can be regarded as the ancestors of "Cry on the Island" and "The Sixth Sense of...

      It’s an old film, it drags from beginning to end, it’s a lot depressing and dull, but the ingenuity and suspense are even better than now, the environment rendering is great, the atmosphere is well set, and there is no insistence on selling bloody killings and zombies , Although I didn't say why at the end, this kind of fear is not only a superficial and intuitive stimulation, it hopes that you can go to a deep understanding and experience, the distance between life and death, but it is...

      The unexpected ending is really good. Although there are flaws in the plot, it is a horror theme after all. In addition, there is a killing process in black and white pictures shot with DV. I am so addicted to watch it....

    Movie plot

    In Potter's Bluff, a sleepy town in Rhode Island, USA, a photographer was seduced by a beautiful woman and was about to make out on the beach. Unexpectedly, a group of local thugs suddenly appeared and burned the photographer alive. Strange things happened in the town one after another, and many people were murdered inexplicably, many of them strangers. What's even more strange is that the people who were killed seem to be resurrected,...

    Background creation

    The film was written by Dan O'Bannon, the gold medalist who wrote "Alien", as a storyboard script. Director Sherman originally wanted to make the film a dark comedy rather than a horror film. Due to legal protections against child labor, the crew could not allow the boy playing Jamie to film at night. But the boy's scenes all happened at night, and the crew had to build a shed on the haunted house to block the light to create a night...

    Movie quotes

    • Dan Gillis: Betty and her toys. There's nobody else to talk to on that damn police channel and she can't call me by my name. That's TV cop shows, Harry. That's what does it.

      Harry: Do you think the county would let me have this rig for salvage?

      Dan Gillis: Anyhow, she said that he was on his way.

      Harry: Okay, no hurry. The fellow in there is a definite goner. Get a good gander that that face, Danny?

    • Harry: I was just telling these guys about that accident last night. Find out who that guy was?

      Dan Gillis: Not a thing. No ID. No license plates. No nothing.

      Ernie: Dan, old buddy, with that fancy salary the city of Potters Bluff pays you, and the amount of money the state spends getting you educated, you ought to be able to find some clues.

      Herman: If you can't solve a traffic accident, what are you gonna do if a crime happens?

      Harry: Now boys, don't be riding Danny too hard. He's out to lead this town. We're lucky to have him. A Masters Degree in Criminology. Big cities fighting over him, and he comes back to his old home town to help us poor folks out.
