did not abuse special effects, combining psychological suspense and scary scenes into an excellent film. ——The behind-the-scenes production of
"The Washington Post" The return of the famous director mentioned Sam Raimi, the CULT director who had filmed "Ghost Man" since he was recruited by the "Spider-Man" series, and everyone gradually Forgot about him The days when I was in B-level horror films, but for Sam Raimi himself, returning to the base of horror films is also an exciting thing for him: "After shooting "Spider-Man", I have been thinking about finding a suitable My own works, frankly speaking, I have a soft spot for horror movies. I hope my works can scare the audience in the cinema. When I was a child, I secretly watched many horror movies and was scared to sleep. I miss it very much. In those days, so when I had the opportunity to step into the film industry, I kept trying to shoot various types of horror films, and they all had some regrets, which also allowed me to do more in the next film. Well, the story of "Fall into Hell" comes from a real experience my friend told me. He was a moneylender and he met a lot of unreasonable people at work. Although the story is very simple, I feel it has The potential for an adaptation into a horror movie, so I wrote the script very quickly, just waiting for enough time to make him into a movie."
Compared with the low-cost route in the past, the great success of the "Spider-Man" series has given Sam Raimi more abundant resources. Sam Raimi said: "'Fall into Hell' is one of the most expensive horror films I've shot, which allows me to set up the scene more carefully and make wonderful special effects scenes. I don't like it too much. The pursuit of special effects shots, a good horror film should make the audience feel scared, and more should start from the story itself. This film has written a true story of 'hell', we have to design many appearances of devils, These are finalized after several discussions with the entire production team. I believe it will make the audience feel refreshed, because the shapes of these devils are completely original, and they occupy a lot of scenes in the movie, from beginning to end. Harassing the heroine."
Horror movies with women as the protagonists
It seems that directors love to use actresses as the protagonists of horror movies, probably because women are born weak, which is in contrast to the huge crisis faced by the protagonists in horror movies. In "Fall into Hell", Alison Lohman is the leading female lead. The 30-year-old actress starred in "Stickman", "Beowulf" and other films that impressed the audience deeply , this time she will contribute a lot of "screaming" in "Fall into Hell", to which Alison Lohman expressed a lot of emotion: "When I learned that I would star in a horror film, I was in my heart. I feel so excited. Shooting a horror movie is a very exciting thing for actors. In the movie, you will be screaming and screaming in the face of those horrible things. Every time I finish a scene, I feel like I get a fun dripping. In "Fall into the Ground", I played an ordinary bank clerk, but one act of fairness made her offend someone who shouldn't have offended. I think this kind of thing is often found in reality, only But they are definitely not as severe as the consequences in the movies."
Regarding the performance of the heroine Alison Lohman, director Sam Raimi also said: "The original script was set to be a couple fighting this disaster together, but I finally modified some plots, and the main character was only left. The next heroine, I think it will stimulate the fear of loneliness in the audience. Alison Lohman suffers a lot in the film, and there is a scene where she is dragged into hell, although that scene is very short , and special effects were used, but in the real shooting, we used mud for auxiliary shooting. Almost half of Alison Loman was surrounded by mud. She completed the shooting of the whole scene like this, and did It was a success, and I have great confidence in her that a horror movie with a woman as the protagonist needs an actor like Alison Lohman who can let go."
