Horror theme resurgence?

On a cold and rainy night last week, I took shelter in the nearby VUE in the rain after finishing work. The daylight hours in this season are only three short hours from 10:30am to 1:30pm. Although the end of work is already at 4:30pm, the streets and alleys are already closed. It was the beginning of the lanterns, people were in a hurry to avoid the swaying freezing rain, shopping malls began to close, and the warmest place was the cinema except for bars and restaurants. . .

Mix and hot chocolate followed. Maybe it's because of a cold and fever, and I keep getting distracted while watching a movie. . . The story is about a remote town in Alaska. There is a polar night phenomenon for one month every winter. Hehe, although we are not in the Arctic Circle, the daylight hours are also very short. It seems that this film is quite timely. The patrol sheriff in the small town is called alan? I just broke up with my girlfriend. On the eve of the polar night, I found a lot of strange things happening in the town. First of all, alan and Patrol Billy found a charred human figure with a mobile phone in the snow. The weirdo that came out of the boat?), and then inexplicable killings began to occur in the town, which was in response to the unlucky words casually said at the last sunset before the polar night, hehe. Alan's ex-girlfriend also failed due to a traffic accident, and the two met again at Diner in the town because an alcoholic asked for alcohol to make trouble. There is even a ban on alcohol during the polar night. It is a strange rule that he should come to us. The most important thing is wine. After the meeting, the two who arrived at the police station were still speechless. The alcoholic was a big talker. Alan later went out to witness the tragic death of someone before realizing the seriousness. He asked everyone who had a family to go home without a family to gather at the diner, and then rush back. The police station couldn't ask the alcoholic, so they handcuffed the alcoholic, and suddenly there was a blackout in the whole town. Start the vampire party, oh! To be precise, it is a zombie vampire. It is relatively new in shape. In addition to retaining the traditional black pupil and fangs, it has added plasma beards, and some have been dragged on the clothes. There are also wolf claws. The most surprising thing is that they say Latin! In Western movies, the general lucifer himself speaks this accent, see "The Archmage", etc. Hehe, it seems that the ship in the opening title is a ghost ship, and the lucifer himself is summoned. Next is the story of saving people and being bitten. On the eighteenth day, most of the survivors hid in the Diner, and everyone began to brainstorm. One person used as a cover for everyone to go to the town's grocery store to replenish ammunition and food, and then be caught by the power station (? ) to avoid, Alan used the spotlight to hurt the devil's wife and pissed the devil off. The devil wanted to set fire to the town. In order to save his ex-girlfriend who was trapped under the car, Alan stepped forward to inject himself with blood from a dead vampire. The difference between a vampire and being gnawed into a vampire lies in the principle that you can control your own soul, Alan Transform into a vampire slayer, go out and fight the devil one-on-one. After defeating the demon king, he rescued his ex-girlfriend, and then watched the first ray of dawn after the polar night, and disappeared in the arms of his girlfriend. . .

After watching it, it seems that it is a rule that when the West experiences an economic recession, there will always be a good horror movie. It seems that the producers and distributors are deeply rooted in the psychology of the audience. Although it can't be said that this film is a masterpiece of horror films, it is not garbage in conscience, because there are too many garbage horror films, which will make you sweat when you are scared, and your heartbeat will speed up to promote blood circulation, which is beneficial to relieve colds.

    The polar night setting is good, so that you don’t need to film during the day~~ There is a overhead shot. When the chaos first started, the shot was quickly pulled from bottom to top, and people were bitten and bitten everywhere, and the blood mist spattered from time to time. . Just say that this lens can actually give five stars~~
