I have to say that the first half of the story is very fascinating, to be precise, the first half. Screenwriter Oren Pelli, as the director of the "Ghost Record" series, is supposed to be more accurate in his handling of horror movies. It is true that the first part of the story was indeed very successful. From the mutated dead fish at the beginning, to the animal carcasses in front of the abandoned apartment, to the scene of bears in the apartment, to the scene where the tour guide Yuri found something strange but covered the nuclear radiation with dust, etc., it was very horrible and strange. Atmosphere. Coupled with the movie set and sound effects (in fact, the best sound effect is no sound and complete silence), the tattered dolls on the ground, the abandoned buildings and the amusement facilities, and Yuri’s little broken car. It embodies the desolation and weirdness of Chernobyl.
The light and lively beginning of the story-a group of young people's trip to Europe, also reflects the unusualness of this expedition, and implies that something will happen in this expedition. Then there was the interception of Chernobyl imports by the soldiers and the unusual things happening inside Chernobyl that could be heard from Yuri. It can be said that the director succeeded in creating a quiet and strange atmosphere before the storm, whether it was in the foreshadowing stage or in the development process. The key lies in what Yuri said. For example, if you have never seen a bear in a building in five years, you can tell that this group of people did not come at the right time. The climax of the story actually happened when the wire of the minivan was cut off, and the group had to spend the night in the car. Then Yuri and Chris went out to investigate the strange situation. As a result, Yuri disappeared after a gun battle, and Chris was injured and rescued by Paul. Well, the story is here, so basically don't read it anymore. In the above part, I think that for a thriller movie, it can be matched with a five-star, and the atmosphere, paving, and plot are all in place. The next step is to see how the director made this movie into a terrible magical technique.
First of all, when I went to find Yuri, the three people encountered zombie-like creatures in the building. At this time, it was not shown that it was a zombie, so they could barely see it. Then they got the gun and managed to escape after shooting a few shots behind the door. In fact, it hasn't deteriorated yet. These actions and the appearance of the BOSS are logical, and the BOSS did not directly show up. Although it can be guessed, at least it left suspense. A group of people went to the scrap car factory and found that there had been a gun battle here, and the bullet was shot from a modified bus. This setting is quite reasonable, and it can also make people think of what kind of creature needs to be used. The gun is wiped out. After the group got the coil, they withdrew the bun... Then, then, the sky suddenly darkened. . . . Then suddenly it was discovered that Bun was attacked, and the two of them had disappeared. . . . Then. . . . Let's go and watch it for yourself. It has become a complete zombie movie, which seems to be a tribute to "There are Eyes Beyond the Mountain". . . . . Anyway. . . . Rotten! ! !
I guess the situation is like this. When the director filmed the withdrawal of the van, he suddenly didn’t know how the story should go on. He suddenly forgot what kind of creature should be used as the boss, so he thought of the zombies on the bad street. All the pots were thrown to the victims of the mutation under the radiation, and finally all the responsibilities were transferred to the Ukrainian government! ! ! ! ! A good movie instantly becomes a bad movie. The director and the screenwriter must not have used his brain to come up with such an ending. I felt that the previous scenes were enough, and I really couldn’t think of any new tricks or new scary things. So he gave the protagonist to a group of zombies, and put the blame on the Ukrainian government ( The Ukrainian government said that the baby was suffering), and then the story ended in tragedy. . . Gone. . . The most incredible thing is that the Ukrainian army saved the woman, but finally threw the woman to a group of losers. What does this mean? ? ? Wouldn't it be over if you just put her there or be killed directly like the hero? ? ? Also, what does the silent little girl that the group saw mean? ? ? This is the rhythm of ghost movies. . . . .
Well, I can't go on anymore. In short, it is rare for a director to make a good movie so unfinished. This skill, this routine is so deep, it is speechless. A horror movie that could have become a classic, turned into a zombie movie, turned into a ghost movie, is very admirable. It’s easy to get this movie to score 7 and 8 points. Retake the last few dozen minutes, yes! Remake! !
