      Tribute means a lot

      I haven't seen the original version of 1980, but this new creation that pays tribute to it is a bit like Quentin's "King Kong Isn't Bad". The core concept of creation is still to restore the essence of the B-grade film of the year to the greatest extent. The intimidating follow-up shots and the creepy soundtrack are definitely the highlights of the film. The modern New York scene unexpectedly has a strong nostalgia, as if going back in time to the 1980s; followed by the first-person subjective...

      A very ordinary homicidal movie

      This movie is not as good-looking as imagined. The only highlight is the use of a first-person perspective. It feels quite novel, but it can't make up for the shortcomings in the plot.
      I still like the kind of homicide who is very sensible and clear about what he is doing, rather than the kind of homicidal homicide who can't control his own. In my mind, the homicide is abnormal because he likes it, he is born. He loves this, not that he has a tragic past. However, many film and television...

      Become a Murderer

      I didn't know that the new version of "Murder" was a completely subjective movie, so after the movie began to realize that the whole film would be like this, there was a little surprise. The subjective shot that impressed me the most was still in "Becoming John Malkovich", but I also heard that the first film that seemed to be fully subjective was "Zombie on the Lake". After returning home, I immediately DL came down as a supplementary lesson. The film in 1947 was the first attempt, and the...

      Distortion and perversion fly together

      This is a live drama that deeply portrays the distorted psychology. The lack of love and bad stimulation finally blooms the "flower of evil", which imposes revenge on the mother on innocent passers-by. Sharp knives, screams, and tears all ended with a peeling scalp, and dummies of different shapes became the intersection of psychological and physical attachment.
          Horror movies often add some elements of eroticism, because anyway, it is already PR grade, so why not do it in order to...

      The first-person vision is not too new, but there are still a lot of shocks in the violent scenes. The love of perverted people is normal, which is the most abnormal part of the whole movie. PS: The tattooed girl is very...

      The film is okay, the ending is empty and disgusting you, a lot of heavy flavors have all erupted, unlike what I expected, ANNA also failed to survive, which is not bad, the shooting method has been designed, and the whole film is almost from the perspective of Wood On the above, there are disadvantages and advantages to doing this, but I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in this film. The plot story is not new, but a lot of bloody killing scenes are in front of you, which is...
