zombie, zombie

In the mind-set, even if the Western zombie films are full of blood and rotten flesh, most of them are nothing but a nonsense farce (Rob Riggs takes this farce to the extreme of hormones), and if it is serious, it is at most an ethical disaster film ( 28 series). Horror film? Dude, this joke is so cold.

Oh no joke man, the era of zombie horror is finally here.

Since the directors of Spanish-speaking countries have discovered the South American Gothic potential of their magical reality, they have begun to seriously study all kinds of dark horrors. In the groping stage, if you can't shoot the surging "Pan's Labyrinth", you might as well fill the old wine in a new pot to see if you can find new hope in the horror elements of the older generation.

After Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" gained some fame, there were sporadic articles in Europe such as a big living man turning into a fox and a turtle, so Kafka's friend made a small report: "Look, everyone I'm plagiarizing you." After listening to this, Kafka lowered his voice nervously as always and said, "No, we are all plagiarizing this era."

So, yes, [Rec] is another movie that is almost at the same time as the big monster CLOVERFIELD . Released POV works. As a Spanish independent film whose cost is far less than that of Hollywood, it cannot be expected to place the focus of the film's narration in the background of complete special effects. In other words, for directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, the success of the film is completely determined. Because of the benign combination of POV narrative skills and script. To refer to the ancestor of the POV horror film "Blair Witch", the success is mainly in the network hype before the release; although the witch created the scene horror of the hand-held record, but also because of its documentary needs, it has to weaken the plot characters and other various The film elements, the invisible sense of horror created for them, also canceled the corresponding entity. Even so, I am afraid that only audiences with rich imaginations that can hypnotize themselves will eat this set of "invisible horror".

So, you might as well take POV to the other extreme, follow the real zombie aunties and uncles from the perspective of TV staff catching news, and use the camera as a brick to defend yourself as a street light to explore the way, bloody Survive puzzles. First of all, through the long and trivial daily follow-up interviews, the audience is completely integrated into the look and feel of the travel interview program to ensure that everyone has been caught by the "reality" emotions in the event when an emergency occurs, and then take advantage of the premise of the TV program. Solve the problem of the degree of camera shake, and use the distortion of the camera image and microphone to render the abnormality of the world; the intense interaction between the beautiful hostess and the camera makes the audience have no time to predict what will happen in the next moment, the confined space blocked by the army and the narrow field of view of the camera together Construct the greatest fear of the unknown in a realistic atmosphere...

That's right! Shoot as you like! It is to deceive thirteen international fantasy independent film awards with a small cost and old routines! In this way, the earth knows that there are two more terrifying tough guys who play zombie movies in Spain: Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza.

Headshots go berserk, tear and bite! Zombies, oh zombies!

REC quotes

  • Álex: People think we run around, putting out fires but around 70% of the calls we get are for other types of services.

    Ángela: Like what?

    Álex: For example, broken water mains, or pet rescue too. Even though it sounds cliché, it's true.
