The plot is quite satisfactory, but the time is lost

There should be countless movies about zombies, especially a few years ago, which showed a state of blowout, which made people want to vomit. But in my heart the most classic is still "Resident Evil" I and II, the most warm and loving is "Zombie Bride". Most zombie movies are triggered by virus leaks in laboratories or illegal human experiments, so this is probably why "Resident Evil" has lost its novelty since the third film.

Just like this film is also a routine of illegal experiments, in fact, it will not be too innovative to shoot according to Resident Evil, but it will not make too many mistakes. First of all, I personally don't think this movie is that bad, because it tells a very complete story that everyone can understand, rather than a zombie war that makes no sense. Although there are many loopholes during the period, the story line can be smoothed down. In addition, I like the rhythm of its opening very much. It is not procrastinated. It simply explains the background and the reason why zombies may appear and immediately enters the infection mode to start the human-corpse battle. Then it actually buried a hidden line in the whole movie, but it was only highlighted in the second half, that is, everyone who entered the prison was related to an official, maybe they were arrested normally, or they may have been framed into prison. Prison, so this also explains why the heroine, like many other prisoners, is detained, but her innocence is actually calculated, so there will be a surging contest of human nature between fellow inmates. Including the jailer and warden, it presents the diversity of human nature, kindness, enthusiasm, indifference, selfishness, hypocrisy, one or several of which are concentrated in one person, I think this presentation is like a contrasting color, reflected in The impact in the movie is actually pretty good. There are also movies that use the camera to hit the outer wall of the prison many times, but the audience hears the cry of a lonely wolf. This kind of performance saves costs (maybe this is the most important), and secondly, it also gives the audience a certain amount of money. Imagining the space, the horrific howl penetrated the dark outer wall, quite frightening. And it doesn't have the halo of the big heroine at the end. I almost thought it was the kind of drama of the big heroine, but the plot at the end will give people the illusion that all living beings are equal, but die sooner or later.

Next is the disadvantage, which is really too obvious. It starts too early, resulting in a long time for the human-corpse battle, and the zombies are also played by actors. The manifestations are nothing more than quick attacks, slow responses, or early The zombies of memory, the actors can't give more innovative performances, they are nothing more than pounced on and bitten or scratched with their fingernails. In addition, there are a lot of bugs, and the director wants to express everyone's characters in the plot, which leads to the inevitable lengthening of the duration, but living people have characters, but zombies don't... Accompanied by repeated zombies The way of killing people, and the fact that the audience has watched too many zombie movies, feel fatigued about the human-corpse battle, so the zombie battle is too long, which directly causes the audience to lose their minds and lose the tension that zombie movies should have.

In fact, I really like watching zombie movies and ghost movies when I’m killing time, because I don’t need to think too much, but as there are more and more movies of the same theme, fewer and fewer new ideas can be made. The beginning and ending of this movie feel good, but the big zombie battle in the middle is too long, and the second half is procrastinated. Obviously, it can be 80 minutes long. If it takes nearly two hours, the audience is tired and the zombies are tired. , the director was tired, and during the period, he consumed too much expectation for the follow-up content, and dispersed the tension. But in all fairness, as a mindless popcorn movie, I could just sit around and do other things, and it would be fine.
