Adam must be a fan-type director, like Quentin. He knows what fans really want to see, so stupid bridges and old tricks are eliminated from his movies, such as a cat suddenly popping out, and the wind suddenly closing doors and windows. Despite the unsatisfactory trials of these sections, movie fans all despise this kind of time-wasting drama! (The domestic horror movies rely on these to survive)
Adam must also be a fan of cult movies. "You are the next" is full of the shadows of a lot of thrillers from the 80s. It was a golden age of horror and cult. The theme of the film "Guest" is actually not new. For example, "Stepfather" in the 80s, "Hands Shaking the Cradle" and "Night Terror" in the 90s, are all stories of strangers suddenly breaking into the family. Don't believe in a wolf in sheep's clothing. The simple summary of this film is also the same, but Adam did not have a serious horror, playing things that his predecessors had played many times, but carried the killing mission to the end with black humor.
On the contrary, I feel a little sympathetic to the male protagonist. The sunny smile on his face, the helplessness and decisiveness during the murder show that he is really a qualified soldier! Even the steel knife pierced the chest, did not lose his demeanor, and continued to inspire the boy's masculinity, what a good brother! On the contrary, that sister is the culprit. She is the most discordant note in the family. If it weren't for her scumbag boyfriend, she wouldn't make phone calls and cause so many things. The most ridiculous thing was the old black, staring nervously, making the situation a mess. When Adam created such a waste, he added his own condiments into the frame of the thriller, which made "Guest" stand out from the chaff-like mode, and it is estimated that it will become a CULT classic in a few years.
Adam must be a super music fan. The New Wave music of the 80s is probably his favorite! The music at the end is particularly powerful, it makes people feel romantic, as if sister and big cousin are holding a weird Halloween ball. I was very happy watching "Guest". There was no rubbish that made me complain, no misuse, no shocking sound effects, no soundtrack of howling ghosts, only 80s New Wave music accompanied, really enjoyable. (New wave music seems to have disappeared and become an alternative niche after 1995, and synthesizers have also entered the stage of history)
Looking forward to Adam's next.
