      Crazy?

      Watching a B-grade film also needs the texture of the picture to drive the atmosphere of the film. Unfortunately, this film has no texture at all from the soundtrack to the picture, and immediately lost most of the interest. The story is based on real events, but the filming is very old-fashioned and loses its originality. It is the creation part that requires illusory. If it is completely based on reality, it will let the audience lose the space for imagination. Injuries as a child lead to...

      simply liberation

      Last night I really wanted to grab an Aussie man by the collar and ask him what kind of mental journey it is to take a woman to see this kind of ghost movie on a date, but he's a psycho anyway. . . Whenever I think about this, my heart starts to calm down again. . .

      Anyway, get down to business. The film is based on the true plot, the 1999 serial murder that rocked Australia. Apparently it left a lot in the memory of the Aussie man, that's why we were sitting at the cinema last night....

      Snow Town, that's all

      When a person wants to watch a horror movie, it is very embarrassing, and it is not uncommon to find that he is watching a literary movie. To a certain extent, such a Chinese translation of the name is simply too embarrassing. Those who named it seem to always think about how to carry forward the literary film, and they don't have a heart to give a "down-to-earth" name. Those who had expected to fully release libido and seek thrills with the thrill of a "gazing" will have to face the killer who...

      Is he an imitator of the cinematic masters, or a new generation of violent aesthetics writers?

      Whether or not Michael Fassbender saw this film that led to the birth of "Macbeth" is unknown, but it is certain that Justin Kurzel was in the first feature film "Snow Town Madness". The unique aesthetic tendency and narrative techniques have...

      "Snow Town Madness"

      The film still tries to explore some reasons from the depth of the subject matter, but I feel that the creator is also ambiguous. The whole film feels that it lacks focus, characters and tendencies.

      It is too running account, if you add the date, it feels special diary. The lack of organized character focus and event core, although this sense of chaos fits in with the film's ambience between controlled and out of control. But a real event is obviously not enough to restore the truth....

      I don't know how to describe it, but when I saw it, I was groggy, especially when I muttered in a large Australian accent, and I hated the picture of chopping kangaroos. The last string of subtitles saved the impression of the film, of course the boy's acting was good. The director is obviously a very patient person, and the slow rhythm affects the shock of the bloody...

    The quality of the film is excellent. The most important thing is that in all aspects, including the technical aspects, the film is well done, without the rough feeling of ordinary low-cost films. Every screening has won a lot of applause and many unbearable. People who walk out of the theater due to bloody violence, and audiences who do not know the background of the story will also feel breathless due to the tense and oppressive...
