Let me talk about my favorite Eliros, who Tarantino called "the future of horror films" obviously didn't take this compliment seriously. Rose seems to have lost interest in the director's career. The anxious mediocrity of "Hemlock Grove" makes it hard to imagine that the director is the horrible upstart who has filmed "Boneless" and "Human Skin Inn." Recently, he has been quite invested in actors and productions, but he seems to be holding an addictive mentality. In addition to the facial performance of "Inglourious Basterds", he is more of the soy sauce characters in "Death Proof" and "Piranha 3D" , And for the "Human Skin Inn" that made it famous, I also irresponsibly handed over to others to mess up the third episode of the inconsistent videotape to deal with the fans. In terms of production, the quality of " The "Last Exorcism" series is enough to illustrate the shallowness of the intentions. I regret that I only hope that "Aftermath", which is produced and starred by Ross, can make a fortune for it.
Rob Zombie is undoubtedly the most versatile one in the Wala Gang. He has multiple identities as a master of Gothic rock, an underground cartoonist, a believer in mysticism, a death installation designer and a horror film director. He is destined to be a Wala The wildest and weird in the gang. Since the "House of Thousand Corpses" series, I have been following "Halloween" and "Ghost World Super Bastard" by the ghost horse. The pseudo-trailer "Nazi Werewolf" directed by "Ring Room" has also been seen countless times, but watch After "Halloween 10" and the recent "Lord of Sierra", I found that this unkempt madman seemed to be exhausted. The new version of "Halloween" that turns the murderer into a zombie will not be mentioned here, just talk about "Lord of Sierra". Just like the movies before the zombies, "Lord of Sierra" is filled with harsh heavy metal rock, full of terrifying death symbols and religious blasphemy. The standard avant-garde MV-style pictures are dirty and bloody, the characters are decadent, and full of black and white horrors. The infatuation of old films can be said to have gathered the face of zombie works, but for the story, the film is not only incomplete in script, but also slow in narration. Everything gives way to style. The consequence is the hollowness and frivolity of the film. You must know, In "The House of Thousand Corpses", many mountains such as "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Magic Tale" have been seen.
Next, let’s talk about Darren Lynn Bowsman, who is the most disappointed in recent days. He who broke away from the "iron triangle of chainsaw" can be said to instantly expose his own shortcomings. After introducing "Chain Saw" into a dead end, I took the best plan to create a modern "Rocky Horror Show"-"Genetics Opera", but unfortunately made the same mistake as "Lord of Sierra", so, Even if Sarah Brightman is among them, it is after all a flamboyant and terrible show. Next, whether it is the dumbfounding "11-11-11" or the unremarkable remake of the classic "Mother's Day" from Trooma, it gives people a sense of powerlessness. Now, Bowsman has fallen into the ranks of video horror film directors, and it is estimated that there is no hope of turning over temporarily. Speaking of Bossman’s remakes, Walabang’s "remake emperor" Alexander Ajia cannot fail to mention. After passing the "High Voltage Electric" blockbuster, Ajia has gradually established himself through a series of remakes such as "There are Eyes from the Mountain" and "Ghost Mirror". In order to reshape the image of the classic expert, but the recent "Piranha 3D" has made people laugh at it, and Ajia began to compromise with the mainstream. For a long time, I only heard of "Gopra" and "Corner", which cooperated with "Harry Potter". Ajia is no longer a horror and thriller subjectively, even though the new version of "Madman" written by him The selection of visual angles and the creation of bloody scenes are exquisite and shocking, but how much does this have to do with the script. Neal Marshall was also recruited by the mainstream. I don't want to mention it here. "Doomsday" is completely an action-adventure movie. I watched "Centurion" exclusively for Fassbender. As for Australia’s Craig McCain, he almost retired after the dull "Escape from Crocodile Island". The film "Red Hill", which was a producer for 10 years, was struggling to look for "The Expendables 3". Almost no one outside of Stallone, the director candidate, cares about.
Of course, it’s not to say that Walabang has no masters and talents. The perfect combination of James Wynn and Revornal is still in the “post-saw era” to present a collection of quality and quantity to movie fans, but now Nowadays, the decline of American horror films is not something "Dead Silence" or "Yin Er Fang" can turn the tide. I only hope that this year's "Call for Souls" can continue to retain the last glimmer so that it can be repeated in the future. It illuminates the creative road of the new generation of American horror filmmakers represented by the members of the Walabang, even if it looks a bit idealistic now, it is a bit sad for self-deception.
