The location of the desert in New Mexico undoubtedly alludes to the first nuclear weapon test in human history conducted by the United States on July 16, 1945 in the Toriniti Desert in Socorro County, New Mexico: the Trinity Nuclear Test. The cruel and deformed mutated humans in the story are the descendants of the aboriginal people who lived in this area. The US government expelled them from their small town in order to test nuclear weapons, but they had nowhere to go and had to hide in the mine. Then the experiment began, and radioactive dust spread all over their former homes. These aborigines also suffered varying degrees of mutation. They continued to multiply from generation to generation, and finally became the bloodthirsty monsters that the family encountered in the film.
This film review does not intend to discuss too much about the editing methods of the film that seem to be in a hurry, or the development of the story that is different from ordinary horror films, but just want to discuss the low cost similar to the deadly corner of the mountain. Can a horror film spend more time on the background of the story, and transform it into a way that can satisfy the ketchup lovers' pursuit of a picture of blood plasma flying, and to a certain extent allow movie viewers to discover bloody pictures and horror psychology Videos of other things.
These connotations can be diverse.
For example, in this film, more efforts can be made on the conflicts between the government and the local residents caused by the nuclear test, and it will show more resentment of the local residents towards the government, which leads to hatred of all outsiders, and for normal people. The desire and jealousy of beautiful appearance; or from a positive perspective, more description of the kind heart that the deformed little girl still retains after suffering and injustice.
For another example, some zombie films can more describe the cause of the zombie virus, perhaps it was caused by an out-of-control biological experiment or a biological weapon in a certain country, what kind of conspiracy is behind it; it can also describe how human beings are caught by themselves The things created are enslaved, eroded, and destroyed, how humans have lost their superiority as the first higher creatures on earth, and how they are dying and struggling when the end of the world comes; it can also be viewed from a positive perspective, Describe how humans fight with zombies through their own wisdom and make various efforts to maintain the continuation of the human race.
Having said so much, my point is that if some horror films can spend more time on the connotation, they may achieve unexpected results. Such films will not become the ones that audiences forget after watching. Kind of type.
