I didn't expect the chainsaw to be able to shoot 9, but the only function of the 9 is to tell us how awesome the chainsaw 1 is. If 6 and 7 appear pale in the main story, it’s because the screenwriters and directors behind can’t control the complex relationship between the characters in this series, the ubiquitous foreshadowing hints and the extremely complicated front and back timeline. The end of the effort; and 8 is Lionsgate trying to abandon the main storyline to see if it can make the prerequisite pressure of filming this series look a little easier, then to 9 means Lionsgate officially admits that I just can’t play with the god-level director like Lao Wen. The story line of the movie, but I still want to keep up with the popularity of the chainsaw, so I made it clear that this is a derivative film.
Looking back at all the elements in 9, catching people to play games, small TV videos, red spiral LOGO, pig head masks, mechanical organs, police and robbers duel, none of them was not the first James Wynn's handwriting of the year. After 17 years, the director of the new work is still carrying it repetitively, without the slightest innovation or transcendence. These are all gadgets that Lao Wen couldn't say that accidentally inserting willows was also a handy gadget. The core of the chainsaw is not these ritual things at all, but it is a pity that future generations can only imitate these appearances.
Although the plot of the new work is worth complaining about, but I don't bother to complain about it. Even if he is a bit bad, it is in my expectation. This kind of revenge that imitates the jigsaw game has already been in the main story. If the old man was alive, he would have arrested the planner to play the game. So the plot is not the point. What I am more interested in is that the existence of this movie has basically been confirmed 17 years ago. The classic elements in "Chain Saw" will be like Freddie of "Men Ghost Street", Jason of "Friday the 13th", " The ghost masks, Sadako, and Triangular Head of "Scream" will continue to reappear in later generations, just like the characters that are constantly being tributed, and they have already surpassed the existence of these things.
It's as if Superman is very famous, but the imitator can neither fly nor shoot lasers, so he can only wear his pants on the outside of the tights and talk in tribute.
When others were racking their brains to imitate Chainsaw 1, Lao Wen turned his head to shoot "Latent", "Call of Souls" and even "Quick Exclamation" and "Sea King". "Latent" uses two movies and a complete exclusive system of the world of life and death to sit firmly in the horror world, and then 345 enters the inertial dogtail link; "Call of Souls 1" flashes by Annabel in the prologue. After three films came out, Marilyn Manson of "Call of Souls 2" has become a classic character that cannot be bypassed in the history of horror films, and it is a single-system rhythm.
Several movies later became benchmarks for other horror films. In the past few years, I remembered that I could see the marketing account with a Rotten Tomatoes score higher than "Latent" and "Call of Souls" in the past few years. I thought it was a new movie. What an incredible divine work? Later, I read "Inherited Doom".
And all these old Wen didn't care at all, and turned around to shoot new works, leaving behind a bunch of waste endlessly wondering what else could be made from the old Wen's work that could be used to make money from the series alone.
Kill one person in ten steps, never stay for a thousand miles. After the matter is gone, he will hide his merit and fame deeply.
It's the same with "Call of Souls 3". This time I changed the director. I originally filmed a bad film called "The Curse of a Crying Woman". This time I used the style of that bad film to cover the "Call of Souls 3", which made it nondescript. Do you like to take pictures like this, go back and take pictures of your crying woman 2, isn't it good? Why bother with a series that has formed its own style. Annabel filmed several movies with the nun and it wasn't enough for you to spoil it, so you must spoil the main story.
This year, Lao Wen has new films to be released, and it is no surprise that he will be able to see it before the end of the year. Then there will be classes for horror film directors all over the world.
