■Last night from 21:30 to 23:00, I finished watching the Australian thriller drama "Killing Ground" (Australia/2016). The film tells the story of a couple's crazy killings after camping in the wild. As we all know, Australia is rich in horror movies in recent years, and wild survival and jungle slaughter account for a large proportion of them. The geographical environment of the Australian mainland is sparsely populated, which has created a sprawling trend of this type of film. The many plot settings of "Killing Field" can't help but think of the Australian film "Wolf Creek" that I watched more than ten years ago. Instinct cowardice and struggle, "Killing Field" uses a three-line narrative and multi-faceted perspectives to tell this uncomplicated bloody story. It should be said that director Damien Ball has a good original idea. An attempt to dig deeper. Although the three-line narrative plan is suspected of dazzling skills and redundant parts, since the story is clearly told and the relationship between the characters is well-organized, I don’t think there is any need to criticize the film’s careful design. The escape incident composed of lunatics, shameless bastards, cowards, and innocent people, in essence, still lacks sufficient killing motives and plot convincing. The reason why bad guys are bad guys is all because of their inner evil thoughts and primitive impulses. I can see this in the lecherous hunter, but I can't find it in the savage German who started the incident. This also directly led to the film's bloody In the slow rhythm with not many scenes, it seems that the explosion point is not enough, and it also lacks some due strength in the final Jedi counterattack. The reversal is quick, the people’s hearts are bad, and cowardice is there, but after the original violence and the victim’s resistance, there is no more content that improves the level and is worthy of careful consideration. That said, it still feels like the film is so bad. I personally like the ending of the film very much. The ending is handled very cleanly. The complicated eyes of the couple looking at each other by the hospital bed have almost explained all the inner drama. I think this is a good choice to deal with the life and death of the child (Hound Dog Squats) The design of sitting beside him to guard is one of the highlights). The overall quality of the film is acceptable. You can watch it. I only hope that those who love wild life and live alone will have more hearts after watching this film. It is also a kind of "crisis education" in disguise. Apply a classic line of Fan Wei in Zhao Benshan's sketch to describe the hero and heroine in the film:
