The following content involves a slight plot leak, which may affect viewing] Let alone the content of the film, "Zombie" is a peculiar film. It not only staged the return of zombies, but also added weight to this year's horror wave ("Blurred Night" and "Fantasy Night"), and it can even be predicted in advance that it will be able to stay in the 2013 Chinese film and the Hong Kong Film Awards next year. Next stroke. On the one hand, the rich second-generation Mai Junlong finally directed the film himself, and was no longer satisfied with being a screenwriter as an actor, paying tribute to the unique genre film zombie film of Chinese-language movies (the ending subtitles pay tribute to Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying). He even pulled the Japanese horror film master Shimizu Takashi, let go of his hands and feet, and played both with CULT elements (explosive bones and broken hands). On the other hand, the output of zombie films in the heyday was over one hundred, but since the beginning of the new millennium, as a genre, zombie films have almost died out, which is very emotional. Occasionally, Wang Jingzhi and his ilk turned out fried cold rice, but the quality was terrible. So it's no wonder that the zombie leader in the film has a special feeling: don't talk about the scholars, now there are no zombies (films). The cast of this movie is headed by the outdated movie star Qian Xiaohao, and it has assembled a bunch of veteran actors. Like Chen You and Lou Nanguang, viewers who have seen the first zombie film "Mr. Zombie" should still have the impression, and then to the famous villain Zhongfa, plus the presence of actors such as Bao Qijing and Hui Yinghong, Wu Yaohan Like old familiar faces such as Lu Haipeng, "Zombie" is not only about horror effects, but not about actor performance. Especially in Qian Xiaohao, Bao Qijing and Hui Yinghong, each of them arranged an emotional past, which deepened the characters themselves and became more three-dimensional. "Zombie" opens with a chorus of children's "Ghost Bride" (from the classic episode of "Mr. Zombie"), which is extremely warm and nostalgic. In addition to the common haunting house and evil spirit settings, "Zombies" has no shortage of plasma and is extremely killing. The film focuses on refining zombies and seven-day rebirth, and the five elements and gossip of killing demons and reducing demons are also quite creative. As for the zombie appearances that the audience is eagerly waiting for, the movie hasn't wanted to appear for a long time, the zombie jumps a few times, and the breath is used once. For some viewers who are looking for the taste of ancient times, the performance of the film may make them a little disappointed. The use of a large number of special effects scenes and the infiltration of Japanese horrors have greatly weakened the humor of the previous zombie films, and the zombies have become less lively. However, the past is a thing of the past, and zombie films cannot come back from the dead. If there is no one to innovate, then the zombie film will only remain in the ground forever. From this perspective, I personally appreciate Mai Junlong's innovation and experimentation. In any case, there must be someone with enthusiasm and willingness to burn money to do something that does not count in return. In addition to the horror passages, the public housing buildings in the film are complex, old and gloomy, with a ghostly look. "Zombie" made a fuss about this feeling, full of accent. Room 2442, with a lamp and a cabinet, with mottled walls, is enough to come in handy. Times are different. In the Republic of China era of zombie movies, one master and two apprentices, one rich man and one security captain, the setting is simple and the setting is simple. Back to the present, zombies have no room for survival and infestation, and the old bones are not beaten. So, how to make zombies appear? Do not lose to evil spirits in momentum? This is exactly the problem that "Zombies" is trying to solve. The film is good at framing the art props. When that building comes out, you can't help but exclaim in your heart: There is a ghost. As for a protagonist like Qian Xiaohao, he has been in despair since his appearance, so it's no wonder that he has to recruit ghosts and provoke ghosts. However, the horror experience lingers, but the neighbors are still warm. A stage in the food stall, the taste is salty, the roots know the roots, and the people are like a family. This is probably an attempt by the director, rather than making people entangled with ghosts and fight to the end. The movie is not satisfied with the successful ending of the victory hand in hand and the evil spirits retreating, because as the story progresses, "Zombies" has been bloodied and there are countless dead people, it is difficult to look back. Borrowing Qian Xiaohao's eyes, "Zombies" left a semi-open ending, just like you don't know whether a spinning top finally fell. 【Phoenix.com Venice International Film Festivalhttp://ent.ifeng.com/movie/special/70venice/】
