Wes? Craven can be regarded as the leading horror film master in the world. Since the first "Magic House" was released in 1972, Wes? Craven has directed well-known thriller horror works such as "There are Eyes in the Mountain", "The Ghost Street", "Screaming" and "Red Eyes", and the horror works he participated in have been remakes several times, and Wes Craven is in Before preparing for "Scream 4", the filming of "Birthday Banquet of the Fierce Ghost", which is yet another original work, was shot. Regarding this work that surprised movie fans, Wes Craven said: "The idea of shooting this film was actually born during the preparation of "Scream 4". "Scream 4" was written, but as the story progresses, I feel more and more that this story should not be the "Scream of Scream" series, it can be completely independent into a chapter and become a new story. So when the final script takes shape At that time, I had decided to shoot this film into a brand new film, which is "25/8." Later, when the film was in post-production, everyone told me that the title was not enough to reflect the film. The film company also hoped that the title of the film would allow the audience to understand the story at a glance. After all, this is a horror film, not an art film, so in the end, the title was changed to "Birthday Banquet of Ghosts."
Wes Craven was quite satisfied with the story he wrote himself: "I like to explore the struggle of human nature in horror themes. This story gives me a very good room for development. It is a typical'tracing the truth'. The protagonist of the film is a young man. He and his friends have suffered inexplicable life threats. Therefore, he has to find the real murderer before death and find out the answer. With his perspective, the story will reveal what happened that year. The audience will understand why the murderer carried out such killings. In fact, there is still a suspense in this film, that is, whether there is a "ghost" in the story. I consciously put some elements in the past in "Ghost Street" I brought it to this movie, hoping to make the movie more interesting. Everyone will guess during the process of watching, whether the story will develop, "Mortal Street" or "Scream"? When it comes to the last minute, I think the audience will be very surprised. "In his
decades of directorship, Wes Craven has made almost all thriller horror films, like "The String Moves My Heart". The warm music film has become the only exception in the history of Wes Craven's directing. Why is Wes Craven so fond of horror subjects? Will he continue to direct movies with themes like "The String Moves My Heart" in the future? In this regard, Wes Craven said: "I really like horror movies. This is because horror movies can satisfy many of my ideas about filming. I hope to express in the movie the crisis of people suffering from extreme environments. Of course, another reason is that I have a little obsession with plasma, and it happens that horror movies can meet my two needs at the same time. In fact, I do not reject it. Other types of movies, but I think there are more directors who can do better than me, so when I come into contact with a good story in this area, I will first think that if a director is asked to make this story, he Will it be better than me? So, maybe I will shoot some different types of movies in the future, but this is not what I am thinking about at the moment. "
A youthful killing
The "victims" of "Birthday Banquet" are all 16-year-old middle school students. Obviously, this movie is a youthful and horrible style. For Wes Craven, the previous "Scream" There have been similar settings, but what is the difference between this "Birthday Banquet" and "Scream"? In this regard, Wes Craven said: "Young people will be confused and helpless, they will be very arrogant and conceited, these are some of the characters that may pose potential dangers, so I still use young people as the protagonist of the film. This movie is not the same as "Screaming and Screaming". "Birthday Banquet of Ghosts" focuses more on how a few children who were born together are different in the process of growing up, and they have different lives. Different personalities, but in the end, they all end in the same way, all facing difficulties. I actually think this movie is more like an inspirational film, because the protagonist finally becomes very strong, he grows from a boy to a man. "
Playing the boy from the boy The man was 22-year-old Max Hillley. He debuted as a child star of "Little Ghost Thief" and "Brave Daddy". Over the years, he has performed in films such as "Transporter" and "Chloe". This is the first time he has acted as a leading actor. Regarding this new work, Max Hillleyer said: "This is a Wes Craven work, so I already knew what it would look like before shooting, because before Wes Craven I have seen almost all of his works. His concept of horror is very forward-looking. "Birthday Banquet of the Ghost" is not just a simple killing. The role I played in this movie was laughed at by everyone. Little man, in this movie, there are many descriptions of the role I played. Until he finally grows up, he can face the crisis alone. I remember that when I filmed the last few scenes, even myself was very moved because of him. finally become a hero. Just because the audience can bring such feelings, so I think Wes? Craven's horror film is really different. "
