In fact, I barely watched the film with him while yawning. Because I am in the business of television, my feeling after watching this film: The only recommendation is the pseudo-documentary technique. Other things such as props, characters, and scenes are too simple. In other words, the cost is too low, the plot is too flat, and the picture is too rough. But you might think that this is the characteristic of pseudo-documentary.
Although "Separated Area" is also a pseudo-documentary, it has content as a whole. At least the director would not want to use only a broken house, a small room, two or three actors, a motionless scene, and a pediatric trick such as the sudden opening and closing of the door. "Scare you".
First of all, there are no fewer than a hundred actors. From the firefighter in the fire station at the beginning to the residents of the quarantine building at the end, people feel that the characters are rich, and there are main and subordinates, and the shooting is always around the location host.
Secondly, the context and rhythm of the story are still clear and orderly. At the beginning of the story, the story is not eager to show the horror picture, but flat and straightforward to let the audience understand what the host is doing, and this thing is still quite interesting, even a bit far from the concept of horror, until the call to the police is connected. , The beginning of the nightmare was unveiled. In addition, the bloody loss of the whole film running and attacking people is quite visually impactful. The performance of the host is also reasonable and reasonable. Speaking of this, I want to talk about the heroine in the next film. The host's actor Jennifer Carpenter has almost crazy performance in "Exorcism", not beautiful but Very dedicated. In this film, I personally feel that she has achieved a real performance after putting herself on the ground. Many people think that she is too noisy and shouting better than acting. In fact, she shouts at a critical point every time, as the film approaches. At the end, she nearly collapsed and cried constantly to remind the photographer to turn on the light, let the light shine on her, and so on. The performance was empathetic and very good.
Finally, about the end. Many documentaries ended because they couldn't close their mouths, so DV photographers fend for themselves. There is no bigger breakthrough in the processing of this film. In the end, the heroine is also dragged into the abyss, and then GAME OVER. This ending can save the director a lot of trouble, and the audience will watch the process enough. American heroism is not reflected here.
