In 2004, a low-cost horror film "The Chainsaw" created box-office records in time for Halloween and was regarded as a classic. After many years, the sequel is back. From this one, it is full of rush like the first tribute. And in this film, I saw John's appearance in a flashback (John and Hannibal are definitely my favorite characters, I can't forget them), because the theater will not be released, and it took a long time to wait for the online resources, and it was closed. The lamp, and the pain of hearing John's hoarse voice on the walkie-talkie again say that the game is really starting to catch a cold.
The improvement of current technology and picture quality has made the bloody realism much higher than that of the first film in 2004. This story is set ten years after John's death, probably five or six years after Chainsaw 7. The appearance of the victims in the film made the jigsaw reappear, causing public panic. One can imagine the jigsaw influence. And the film is also more primitive, although it is still American police who like to go into enemy camps alone, but at least it is not Hoffman's kind of one-man team of police. This film obviously wants to follow the spirit of John and change Hoffman's game of killing for fun. As long as you sincerely repent, you can be saved. From the final shooting of Anna in the film, it is obvious that John gave them to them. way of life. And this is also the original intention of "Chainsaw", using extreme physical and mental torture to evoke rebirth and giving game participants the right to choose. The force on the routine is also very strong, with all kinds of chain buckles, the overlapping routines ten years ago and now, I can only see at the end of the film. But personally, I feel that the first half of the film has a feeling of being too rushed and rushed to the scene, but the second half is very exciting, especially the ending, which imitates the first Chainsaw Horror, which is a big reversal.
The first few Chainsaw films were all produced or written by Wen Ziren. Compared with Wen Ziren, the biggest regret of this one is the lack of atmosphere. Wen Ziren's horror films personally think that there are several characteristics:
1. Use the shaping of the atmosphere to capture the most primitive fears of people. Wen Ziren is very good at using light and sound to shape the atmosphere, and to make the audience feel scared is to let them have a personal experience, not too exaggerated, but closer to life. Fear of the dark may be the fear of most people. In our life, we often encounter dark lights and strange noises that make people feel scared. Creating on this basis is the core. And this film is bloody but has no atmosphere. I can only say that I only watched it and was not afraid at all.
2. A reversal of classic scenes and bridges.
Wen Ziren always likes to innovatively handle a classic horror scene, and when the story is more than halfway through, when the audience's thoughts are probably clear, the bridge is reversed, giving an unexpected ending. achieve the expected effect.
But in general, I still like this one very much, and feelings may be part of it. As it is, there should be a sequel. I hope the next one will improve the atmosphere.
