The first 10 minutes of the movie made me drowsy. It would have been a good idea to choose to open in a movie theater. If the movie is a horror movie that can make the audience scream, or even just scream a few times, I believe It would be nice to add a thriller vibe to the whole movie, but it was a standard family movie, which really couldn't have been a worse idea. In addition, there are dark pictures everywhere and a neurotic plot. Does the director want to make a successful horror film based on these alone?
The characters in the story are unclear. A child full of fear, a mother on the verge of collapse, a man desperately trying to do something, and a man who is responsible for explaining that there was a previous failure (an island with a Croatoan riddle and disappearing). They came out of the darkness one by one, and returned to the embrace of darkness one by one, in exactly the same order of appearance and departure. Why they didn't disappear early, why the four of them got together, what can they do and what they can do together, all these are also treated as disappearance by the film. It seems that this film is an inexplicable riddle.
After more than half an hour, the plot finally developed a little interesting. The unknown things they fought against appeared, the strategies they fought against, and even the different camps they fought against or not against appeared briefly. Although, what the damned unknown thing is, just a huge shadow, or a collection of resentment, or a monster with a specific appearance that can quickly eat people, we don't know. And the film they saw through the TV station suddenly became a clue to guide them. Whether to stay in the bar and wait for the darkness, or to rush out of the darkness for even a glimmer of hope, when all the reasons are not sufficient, they quickly fall to the latter. All of the above are very far-fetched, but the plot has finally developed.
There are not many scenes in the film, and it basically switches between dark and darker environments. Relying on the characters' language and facial expressions to drive the atmosphere of fear, one can see some helplessness, but it is obviously a last resort. The warm scenes that pop up from time to time, like turning off the air conditioner or turning it up again when eating ice in a cold drink shop, are very inappropriate and boring. It is worth mentioning that the special effects of the film should be well done, that is, how to paste a large piece of darkness and how to shrink it back. The darkness that keeps flashing in front of me also confuses me, whether it is saying that it is often our hallucination that finally pulls us into the darkness, or that there is always too long and too long darkness on the road to light , so long that it is impossible for one person to reach it, and can only rely on the strength of other people or the sacrifice of other people.
The spirit of the mother (Rosemary) in the film is worthy of respect. He said, "My kid will go to heaven, and if he doesn't, I'll go to him." So, even if this film is a bad film, bad enough to have an inexplicable start, bad enough to need another film to help He ends (I believe Will Smith's "I Am Legend" is definitely the most suitable ending for this movie), and a few good background music can't save it, but a bad movie still needs understanding and tolerance. Because it is countless bad films that can create a classic. And remember, God is not good at writing programs, not to mention most of the people who write scripts and make movies are ordinary people.
