Oh shit, it's really scary

The setting of that flower is amazing. The imagination is amazing. [bq14]

I’m too nervous in the middle, I can’t help but fast forward....Can’t you make the rhythm a little bit literary? Is it a beautiful flower? [bq14] Obviously you can compliment it first [bq14] and then in turn describe its horror in depth. [bq14]

For example, the current rhythm is: 3-4-7-7-7-6, can it be made into 3-5-7-4-9-3, can you jump a little?

① You can turn one of the characters into a plant lover, explain the source of the flower, and say that it is very beautiful and ancient, and it is a good flower or something. This role is responsible for compelling flowers.

②In the front, you can prepare for how bad the Mayans, killing one of their teammates or something. The dead teammates are responsible for literary and sensationalism.

③You can further describe the relationship between the characters, get some literary accent, and use it to ease the rhythm in the middle. This is really a waste. Although it is well portrayed, it is a weak relationship.

④ The ruins are very important, but don’t stay on the ruins. You can let the Mayans chase them in the jungle and let the audience think that the Mayans are bosses. In the process of escaping, let them slowly discover the weirdness of the flower (talking, infecting, killing, etc.), and then explain the history of the Mayans and the flower, the force is even higher~

⑤After starting to escape, let them enter the ruins, and then the Maya dare not chase them. They thought they were safe, but in fact the other way round~ In short, to reverse the story~

⑥The ending can be that one of the Mayans took the survivors and escaped, and the infection spread...

    Youth B-level films are considered good, the two girls act well, and the rhythm is relatively comfortable.

    Gimmick enough, good idea for live plants. But the teammate's IQ is too low to look at, it's really depressing and vomiting blood (the filming becomes a psychological thriller, so I have to say that the atmosphere is quite good. The second female... Anyway, seeing what happened to her makes me feel itchy all over...

The Ruins quotes

  • Jeff: They don't want us to spread it. That's why they won't let us leave. They're salting the soil to keep it contained. It's old. It has to be really old because the birds, the insects... and now, they've learned not to land here.

  • Jeff: [to Mayans] You don't even know our names. You don't know any of our names. I'm Jeff. Jeff Dean McIntyre. Winnetka, Illinois. Twenty-two years old. I was going to be a doctor. That was my dream. That's all I wanted. You should know her name, too. Her name is Amy! She's not going to die in this fucking place!
