First of all, 7 points: 1. The film contains 4 main games. 2. The long shot of the two male protagonists walking and talking at 12 minutes and 41 seconds makes me feel like watching GTA5. At the same time, I also praised this long shot. 3. The film contains a lot of dark humor, and it is mainly expressed in lines. 4. The classic soundtrack in the style of the first 7 "Chainsaw" series appeared for the first time in 1 hour, 9 minutes and 40 seconds (not
The film has a total of 93 minutes. I personally feel that the whole film is very fast. There is no protracted and long rhythm to make people drowsy, but this fast look and feel reflects a problem, that is, the thinness of this film. The film begins with the death of Boz, a friend and colleague of the police hero Zeke, and the main plot is that Zeke solves the murder that imitated Jigsaw. With the deepening of the investigation, colleagues around him continue to die. There is a very different place in this film. He no longer has a fixed main game scene like the first 8 "Chainsaw", and several people go through one level at a time. In this movie, all the games are carried out independently, revolving around the main line of the hero Zeke's case-solving. There are 4 main games in this film, the opening is the "Tongue Pulling Game",
The second is the "finger-pulling game",
The third is "Hot Wax Face Game",
The fourth is the "Broken Glass Jet Game".
The design of these four games is quite satisfactory, not as cruel as the "meat cutting game" at the beginning of the sixth part, but also more visually pleasing than the third "carrion grinding and pouring pool game". Before I wrote this review, I noticed that some people in the short review said that the game in this film does not give the participants a chance to survive. After watching the movie, I found that this is not the case. Although there seems to be some setting problems in the logic of individual games, it is still necessary to point out that the game design of the film does not have any settings that do not give participants a chance to survive. The first game can directly see that the participant has a chance to survive; the second game participant also has a chance to survive, but his speed needs to be faster; the third game makes me a little suspicious, because the game requirements are that the participants need Swinging the head to cut the spine, I don't know if the spine can still live; the fourth game is a typical game where the male protagonist decides the life and death of others, so the survivors also have a chance to survive. This type of game has also appeared many times in the previous works, especially the setting of the seventh male protagonist who was not saved by himself is really impressive. What many viewers look forward to most is the life and death game designed in "Chainsaw", which is indeed a major focus of this series. The game of "Chainsaw 9 Vortex" is generally quite satisfactory, and even the quality is low. Part of it lies in the design, and the other part lies in the shooting method. There is almost no classic flashback + quick editing method of the "Chainsaw" series in this whole film, and the shooting of the game of life and death did not make the audience extremely nervous and empathetic, which led to the perception of the game of life and death. The words are not deep enough, which caused the audience to have a low impression of the movie. The previous works of the "Chainsaw" series have a characteristic, that is, he can shock the audience under the combined effect of the plot, soundtrack and editing. Especially the Hello Zeep sounded at the end of each film, and all the mysteries were revealed in the flashback + quick editing technique. Almost every finale in the series has the adrenaline pumping so much that the audience starts to get goosebumps as soon as Hello Zeep's music hits. The ending of "Chainsaw 9 Vortex" still uses the classic Hello Zeep, but this time, it really makes the audience feel embarrassed in disappointment. The shocking power of Hello Zeep that has been etched into the audience's DNA over the years can't make up for the ineptitude of the plot. The ending no longer has flashbacks + quick edits, and there are no longer too many decryption elements. The only reversal is similar to a cliché that cannot make people shine. As a result, the ending is weak and weak, and it really cannot reach the realm of shocking the audience. In general, my evaluation of the film "Saw 9 The Vortex" is: the film has reached the pass line. As a sequel to the series, this one was a bottom and a failure in the series; but as a stand-alone film, the film hits the pass line, albeit just stuck there. The disadvantage of this film is that it does not retain the advantages of the previous work. At a time when the American horror film industry is constantly innovating, he did not write originality in the plot. At the same time, as a film known for its plasma/reversal/human nature, this one doesn't give the audience a bright spot on any of the above elements. In addition, the advantage of this film is that the rhythm is not protracted. Although the story is not innovative enough, the entire narrative is qualified, and the audience can watch it as a detective film with blood from the beginning to the end. A few last words: 1. At 1 hour, 9 minutes and 40 seconds, when the soundtrack in the style of the first 7 episodes of "The Chainsaw" appeared, the male protagonist was handcuffed to the pipe, and then he picked up the saw and started to saw the handcuffs. After failing, he made a In order to saw the arm movement. This is an obvious nod to the first Saw movie.
2. The sound of the game rules tape really feels childish and inconsistent.
3. Once again, the ending song
