different horror film
"Lodge in the Woods", the story at the beginning is the same as most horror films. It is about a group of college students who came to play in the hut in the forest and encountered strange things in the middle of the night. But just when everything was developing towards the clichés of horror films, the director suddenly added technicians to the film. They monitored the horror events in the cabin, and they were studying this supernatural phenomenon. It should be said that such an adaptation is very likely to harm the movie, because of this kind of plot, it is very likely that the movie will be turned into a four-dimensional image. For this, the director of the film, Drew Gundam, said: "From a level, "House in the Woods" is a traditional horror film. You can hold a bucket of popcorn and watch this film casually. Because there are everything about traditional horror movies. On another level, this movie is very different from traditional horror movies. I added a lot of surreal and sci-fi elements to the script. These elements change this movie. The content and texture of the movie. In other words, you will get much more from this movie than ordinary horror movies, and it will be more satisfying.”
For the film’s script, the Australian actor Kelly, who played Thor, Rees Hemsworth said: "When I got this script at the beginning, I thought it was a simple and boring horror movie with the same theme and story. It was very boring, but when I got it page by page Reading on, I found that this story is much more complicated than I thought. I gradually became fascinated by this story, and my love for the story became uncontrollable. In my opinion, this script is like a complete set. In the beginning, I gave you something familiar to you that made you fooled, and then subverted your cognition a little bit later. This is very enjoyable."
In fact, such a script, in the eyes of screenwriter Jos Weiden (director of The Avengers), is a love letter written by him and Gundam to horror movies. Weiden said: "I love horror films, but the plots of horror films nowadays are becoming more and more mediocre and boring. It is very frustrating to know the back after looking at the front, and the killing scenes become more and more disgusting. So. , I want to change everything with my own script. We made up this story. In the story, we improved the plot of the traditional horror film to make the plot look better while adding sci-fi elements. In this way , Horror movies seem to have become more interesting and rich. After all, this is a love letter we wrote to our beloved horror movies, and maybe only those who fanatically love horror movies can get fun from it. "
Don’t treat the audience as an audience ." Idiots.
"A lot of horror film directors are treating the audience as idiots." Chris Hemsworth expressed his opinion like this: "A boring gimmick, a terrifying plot at all. It’s the same after shooting a movie. However, this movie is very different. In addition to the improved story, the film also incorporates a large number of CG special effects during shooting. The selection of actors is also great. There are new actors and familiar faces. All in all, although the cost is small, Drew Gundam did not shoot this film as a small-cost film. He shoots the film carefully and cautiously as if it were a big production."
In fact, it is Drew Gundam’s wish to make a movie that respects the audience. He said: “The audience is becoming more and more critical, and it is no longer the era when just shooting a horror film can make a big name. Therefore, it is necessary to respect the IQ of the audience. Moreover, the audience definitely hopes that there will be some familiar faces in the movie, and not too many newcomers can be used to perform a horror film. If there are no familiar stars, the story is not interesting. , Then this movie still doesn’t need to be filmed.” Obviously, Drew Gundam did just that. In the choice of actors, he found familiar faces such as Chris Hemsworth and Bradley Whitford, as well as many new faces who made their debut on the big screen. For his actor, Drew Gundam said: "I want to present a more dramatic taste in the film, so most of the actors I found are not horror film actors. Among them are actors from dramas, actors from comedies, etc. . I interviewed many people and asked them to perform comedies and dramas. I think that if the content and emotion of the script can be accurately expressed, then acting in a horror movie will become a simple matter. Finally, I chose I'm very satisfied with such a cast."
Richard Jenkins, who has been in the show business for a long time, is an actor "chosen" by Drew Gundam to appear in the surveillance room. Gundam said: "When I was writing the script, I was thinking, if Jenkins could play this role, it would be great. Later, through the production company, I actually contacted him and invited him, which made me overjoyed. "The same as for this commander. The role, Jenkins said: "The role in the surveillance room is very interesting, and the setting to appear in horror movies is also great. In the woods, terrorist incidents are happening, and in the surveillance room, under the protection of contemporary civilization The people are watching all this. These two worlds that did not originally intersect are fused together at this time. I think this is an amazing plot setting.”
