Not long after the film was released, it achieved a good North American box office record and even climbed to No. 1; after watching the film, I swore to myself that I would never buy discs based on the North American box office charts (in fact, I had made a similar determination before). If you want to talk about watching discs, I have to say one thing. There are many foreign box office rankings that are false. We have to pick the real ones. It's like going to a dungeon, where there are fewer people, I will follow, I... just can't trust the masses. When Chinese people buy discs to watch movies, they can read some comments written by themselves, such as recommendations from Chaplin or He Caitou, and how far the other junk rankings can go.
The film is a stunt of outright violence, gore and horror. What is naked is that elements such as plot, characterization, makeup, and sound effects can be omitted, and the picture can be directly handed over to piles of hideous extras and buckets of cheap pig blood or dog blood; the film is in the following aspects Kan said the failure, first, the details are too poor. This is a film known for its violence, blood and horror. Throughout the film, it is not as violent as "Chainsaw 4", as bloody as "Humanskin Inn 2", and as scary as "Shocking Cannibal 2" , in terms of despair, it is not as good as "I Am Legend", in terms of picture quality and depression, it is not as good as "1408 Phantom Haunted House", in terms of makeup, it is not as good as "The Grudge"; I don't know where the shining point of this film is. The key to chasing it is still director David Slade's skills are not enough. If it is not a script that wins the plot, it is necessary to pay more attention to the details, especially violent and bloody horror movies; play disgusting, at least like the beginning of Chainsaw 4, slowly cut the skin, pull When you pull out the scalp, you will see the wire drawing between the flesh and the flesh when you pull it apart; play with blood, at least like the Human Skin Inn 2, where human blood is sprayed out of the flowers as bath water; play with terror, at least fall into the thousands like apocalypse. In the pile of rotting dead people; play despair, at least like the 1-hour countdown that repeats in 1408. But in this film, the so-called violent horror plus blood type, is that the vampire opens his mouth with rotten teeth and pounces on it, twitches on the ground for a long time, and then the blood stains the white snow; It can't meet the increasing demands of the masses for horror and bloodshed. The detailed descriptions in "Plastic Surgery Room" and "Doctor House" are much better than this film; second, the problem of script. Works based on comics have a common problem, too much thinking that everyone understands the plot; in fact, for people outside the United States, without this cultural background, it is difficult to know the cause and effect; and in the adapted script, some plots do not Clearly explained, the actor's dialogue is somewhat incomprehensible; the audience is in front of the screen, as if unrelated passers-by are watching an unintelligible fight on the street, don't know what is going on, just watch the scene; third, horror The styling is too CHEAP. American films are probably already exhausted in shaping the appearance of horror, and they are all oral engineering; Japanese horror films are better than American ones in this regard, and the Japanese focus on the eyes. After all, the eyes are the windows of communication, and a rotten eye has the best effect. Your tetracycline teeth plus buck teeth plus caries plus hell. Of course, the appearance design of this film is not without breakthroughs. The biggest breakthrough is to replace all the traditional vampires with handsome appearance and slender body with fleshy and egg-type vampires of five sizes and three thick. You can see a group of fat vampires as light as Yan's flying eaves and walls, especially their leader Marlowe.
At the end of the film, the actor Josh. Hartnett (who filmed Pearl Harbor's Xiaosheng, in his low ebb) turned himself into a vampire, defeated the vampire group, and saved the lives of the villagers, but he inevitably went to death; he and the heroine sat on the top of a snowy mountain Up, looking at the mountains in the distance, the long-lost sunshine finally came, and in an instant, he snuggled up against the heroine's chest, and he was annihilated. . . . . . It's a bit far-fetched to have to add a love ending to such a violent and bloody film. Love is not everything! Especially if you can't save a bad movie.
