Horror films-entertainment films for the purpose of creating horror. The content of the story is absurd and bizarre. It combines background, music, personality, and photography to create a sense of horror, allowing the audience to think about life while feeling negative emotions.
Apocalyptic Alone-a horror film, but too much literature and art, resulting in a lack of atmosphere creation, insufficient human thinking, and insufficient appreciation.
The content of the film is very simple. In the first 25 minutes, the heroine Ann is all alone. In the last days (many humans become human-thirsty corpses), hiding in the jungle, one relies on "memories" and "Radio" is alive. Here is a detail to pay attention to: the two people who often appear in the memory-Ann's husband and children, this is an introduction, these two people played a key role in Ann's final choice.
For the next 40 minutes, the film arranged for Olivia and Chris, the father and daughter (to be precise, the stepfather) to appear. This was carefully arranged by the director. Why do you say that? It turns out that Ann's family combination is a couple + daughter (baby). Now the appearance of these two people has once again let the audience see a family combination, but where are these three people going? Where will the relationship go? The following stories unfold to us one by one.
Finally came the last twenty minutes of the film, don't expect any magnificent scenes, a failed action, Chris was killed by a few weak zombies, Ann and Olivia drove towards the unknown tomorrow. What are the implications of these plots? The first is the death of Chris-Ann's situation is pushed to the edge of the cliff again (just like when Ann's husband was killed by a zombie, leaving her alone with her daughter), she returned to "loneliness" again, and took care of the movie The name is "Here Alone"; second is Ann's choice-this passive situation is completely caused by Olivia's human evil (she stuns Ann, tries to get the zombie to kill her, and then she can escape with Chris Shengtian), as Ann, she can completely give up Olivia, this ungrateful person, but the past (to end the life of her daughter who was infected by the virus herself) reappears, so she chooses another path and takes Olivia to continue her survival journey. The theme of "salvation" at a moment accompanies the ending of the film, echoing in the minds of every audience.
Written at the end, as a relatively alternative zombie film, the film takes too much time to describe "survival in the wilderness", and too little time is reserved for the topic of "human nature". The time allocation is extremely unreasonable, and the direct impact is on literature and art. The taste is too heavy, and the connotation is drastically reduced.
Director ★★★☆☆ (thought, slightly weak in execution)
actor ★★★★☆ (three protagonists are quite good, solid acting, not artificial)
Plot ★★★☆☆ (too much laying in front, too slow, behind The introduction of "humanity" and "redemption" is too rush)
visual effects ★☆☆☆☆ (5 mao special effects, jungle girl version of "I am a legend")
sound effects ★☆☆☆☆ (weak, almost no BGM, cost saving)
