Dark Invasion is the best British horror film of 2005, and it should be considered one of the highest-level British horror films. The first ending ends in Sarah's despair, which is no less desperate than The Mist. The opening of the second part starts with Sarah's inexplicable escape. Although an explanation is given in the middle of the story, saying that she escaped by water, it is still a bit far-fetched, but if there is no Sarah's escape, the second day The Ministry can't start the plot, so I won't go into details. The movie continues, and Sarah, who escaped inexplicably, has amnesia again inexplicably playing with dog blood, so she is suspected of killing her companion, and is ordered by the police to lead the way from an abandoned mine to the cave. Since then, the second horror journey has officially begun.
The soundtrack of horror films is very important to the movie, and many horror films are often accompanied by different soundtracks to set off the atmosphere. In the Dark Invasion, the soundtrack is poor, and the very few soundtracks are almost inaudible. The entire film proceeds silently in a dead silence, occasionally supporting a few low whispers, which makes the atmosphere more tense and solemn. Although there is very little soundtrack in the film, it does not mean that the soundtrack is not good. On the contrary, in the most tense parts of the plot (such as Sara watching the cannon fodder captain being hung but turning a blind eye), the low-pitched music seems to be the orchestral instruments The foil makes the atmosphere even more terrifying. Some people refer to good soundtracks as "inaudible music". Indeed, if you concentrate on the plot and the soundtrack is so appropriate, although the ear is listening but the brain ignores the music, it becomes inaudible music, but its role cannot be ignored.
After the first part, the monster is no longer an unknown horror, especially to the audience, the characteristics of invisible but extraordinary hearing are also well known to everyone. So the director also played another game. Sarah, who had recovered her memory, was familiar with the characteristics of monsters. She passed by the monster at a close distance many times, and even followed behind the monster's butt to steal things. It made the characters in the play stunned for a while, and also made the audience nervous for a while. The fight with monsters is more bloody than the first one, but the overall tone has changed dramatically. Compared with the first one, where people do nothing for themselves and stab friends and run for their lives alone, the second one is more It reflects the kindness of human nature, especially Sarah's shocking roar at the end. Quite a bit of a heroic demeanor.
Speaking of Sarah's shocking roar, I have to compare the endings of the two films. The first book of despair that followed the bubble of hope made the Dark Invasion classic. As for the second part, until Sarah's shocking roar, I had a little bit of expectation for the final ending, although the ending was first seen from the moment a pair of people entered the mine. Just when Sarah's body was shocked and looked at the monsters around her coldly and arrogantly, I even thought that the director was going to make a subversive ending, asking Sarah to kill all the monsters alone, and finally the camera turned to a dark place. At the entrance of the cave, people's eyes were all focused on it. After a short freeze, a black figure slowly emerged, people began to clench their weapons, and the figure of Sara, who was full of blood at the entrance of the cave, staggered out. Ha ha. . . . Of course this is just my unilateral fantasy. Although similar endings have appeared in other horror films, it is obvious that such endings are not suitable for this movie and cannot make this sequel a classic again, but unfortunately the real ending seems to be too Failed to do so.
The real ending of Dark Invasion 2 has added an artificial element, just like the inexplicable beginning. Although the explanation and hints are given in the film, it is still a bit far-fetched, but if it is added in order to leave an open ending for the third part This explanation makes sense.
All in all, Dark Invasion 2's tight plot will definitely allow you to watch the entire movie with your breath taken.
