To be honest, I have always considered myself to be one of the people who has a high ability to endure bad movies. In fact, there are some bad movies that not only don’t disgust me, but make me like them very much, such as “Hatch Axe”, “The Big Bad Wolf” Top notch, and a few more, like Farmhouse, Zombie Destruction, which I always think are good movies, even with low ratings.
However, at the beginning of the new year in 2011, it is very rare to be fortunate to see a movie like "Darkness Comes", which is so bad that I have to complain about it, because it has successfully made me think that the horror and thriller theme The worst, most boring, and worst elements in the movie have been accounted for every bit, and they have spared no effort to play it to the fullest. I don't know if this catastrophic production comes down to the director or the writer, but if, in case, they did it on purpose to achieve some sort of '70s bland highway B-exploitation movie style. Then I really don't know whether to cry or laugh, I mean, you should at least follow Quentin's "King Kong Is Not Bad" and do it more thoroughly and simply, so as not to be criticized by others as a bitch Do you want to set up a chastity archway?
Recently, horror filmmakers have popular remakes of some movies that are not very good in the same theme, but not everyone can be Alexandre Aja, so we see things like "April Fools", "Sorority Fright", "Sorority Fright" "Stepfather" and other old movies that are well-known to hardcore horror fans have been remade and ruined one by one, but someone actually chose the 71-year-old "And Soon the Darkness" for the remake. I still think this director It's really smart and done well. It can even be re-released with the original version that was not very famous, and it can also be rated on a list similar to "Top Ten Successful Remakes of Horror Movies", and If the filming is not good, it is estimated that few people will stand up and scold you for ruining the classics, etc., release a DVD, and you can get back the money that is not high.
However, the disgusting and mindless level of the screenwriter of this film has reached an outrageous level. I will not say that it is almost a plot from the beginning to the end, and it ejaculates prematurely before the climax. From the two friends bar From the beginning of the encounter with a strange man, the development and direction of the whole plot can be said to be smooth and smooth to the extent that even I am surprised. For example, the audience knew from the beginning that the boy Ellie met was not a good thing, but in the end, after she was kidnapped, Originally, according to normal logic, the murderer must not be the most suspicious person at this time, right? However, the director and screenwriter of this film are so awesome, they won't make a fool of you. The bad guy you see is a bad guy, and he won't be abducted at every turn. For example, the policeman who has been hanging around all the time, you will Think, this person should not be an accomplice, huh, congratulations, you got it right, the screenwriter of this film meets the needs of all age groups, if you want to guess, you can guess boldly, if you think it is bad silver, then they will definitely be in the end Bad Silver, and the sad boy pig, even the mentally handicapped knew that he was looking for the girl in the title, but the director was still complacent and happy that he could confuse the audience, so if you expect a big hit from the end of the film. Reversal, if you are a big shock, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you will be disappointed.
However, what disgusts me the most, and what disgusts me the most, is that when Stephanie asked the people for questioning after Ellie disappeared in the film, their ecstasy and proudly departed backs, I will wipe you Mom, do you think you're acting in a cult movie? Who has to hide? Otherwise, Satanism will mainly punish which one will fail? I wonder how the Argentine people felt when they watched this clip? Isn't it human trafficking? What the heck, everyone learns one by one and hides all the way like a ghost without telling you? But even if they're really what the directors and writers think they are, if you go there and ask who is the king of bad movies, they're guaranteed to stick their heads out of the house and call you number one!
