Vanishing On 7th Street (disappeared in the seventh street) 2011
movie watched There are many, many, and gradually summed up a truth, there are only two kinds of movies in the world: movies that make you sleep and movies that don't let you sleep. This film belongs to the latter. Before I started watching the movie, I was already a little sleepy. I planned to go to sleep after watching it for a few minutes. My transition from lethargic to refreshed is amazing. You can see how captivating the plot is.
The focus of the story is the plot. In a city, people who existed in the darkness suddenly disappeared. It turns out that there is a black cloud floating in the sky, which can devour the light, and those who exist in the darkness will disappear. But the disappearing people will have another selves in the dark, just like the soul out of the body. The film focuses on describing how four people avoided the darkness, but three of them disappeared into the darkness for their own reasons. At the end of the film, only a little girl and a little boy escaped from this darkened city.
This is a movie that captures the hearts of audiences every minute. From the first minute of the film, the foreshadowing of the film is laid. And only in less than ten minutes of the film, people began to disappear continuously, and the story officially began. There is no cold scene in the whole film, and every minute is not wasted. There is no plot foreshadowing, no rendering of the environment, no substitution of characters, and it directly enters the theme of the movie very simply. Such a movie looks quite enjoyable, can you still fall asleep watching such a movie?
The suspense setting of the film is very successful. The focus of the film is not on why people keep disappearing, but on how people disappear, and it is only when the characters interact that they give the audience some dark message. So, the audience will keep thinking in their minds, what is the cause of darkness? How do they come together? How does darkness invade people? What was the state of each character before disappearing? With these questions, we are looking for answers in the film. The answers to some questions have been found, such as where does darkness come from and how to resist the darkness; the answers to some questions have not been found, such as what is darkness? Why is this so? But these unanswered questions are not important to the plot development of the film. The characters in the film think so too. They don't want to know how the darkness came, they just want to know how to get out of the city and how to avoid it. The audience thinks the same, we will follow in the footsteps of the characters, not caring about the cause of the darkness, but worrying about whether the characters will disappear.
With a good story and a good way of telling it, this film does it all. Objectively speaking, this is a small-budget movie with not many actors, no big scenes, and only some special effects that come with darkness. But the writers and directors used this low-investment method to shoot a wonderful film. A tavern, a few blocks, a basement, and a church make up the film's main setting. Under the skillful film technique of the director, these scenes and some props are used superbly, making the film full of fear. Especially the use of light in this film plays a very important role in shaping the horror atmosphere of the film. The flickering light always reminds the collapse of the bright line of defense; the disappearance of outdoor light also represents the end of life! In addition, the use of sound effects and music is also the hero of the film's horror atmosphere.
The outstanding performance of the actors in this film is also the key element of the film's appeal and shock. I won't go into detail about the performances of several actors. Their expressions of fear, despair, and worries about the future are all perfect interpretations of the movie. Although horror movies do not need too advanced acting skills, the feeling that comes from the heart still requires certain acting skills. Although the performance of the little girl in the film is not much, it left a deep impression on me. She is only a few years old, but there is a maturity beyond her age in her eyes, and her future is limitless. In addition, the actor played by Hayden Christensen is actually called Luke, and he thought he was making "Star Wars"?
Overall, the film uses very few actors, very few sets, and very little space to make a gripping, shocking horror movie. Although there are only dark shadows in the film, the element of fear they generate is hundreds of times stronger than the zombies and monsters in other films, and it is the kind of fear that comes from the bottom of my heart. Like reviews online, it's a "zombie movie without zombies." A perfect movie, definitely not to be missed.
