In fact, everyone is finished together!

I have been thinking about writing a sense of viewing for a horror movie, but the laziness and boredom caused by loneliness and autism make my head go blank or confused every time I want to concentrate on writing something quietly. I don't know what I want to write or what I should write. Of course, if I can adjust my mental state at this moment and capture the inspiration that bursts out, maybe I will create something that surprises me. It's like what I want to talk about now is this horror movie I've watched a few months ago and I've always wanted to write: "There are Eyes Beyond the Mountain"!

Haha, I am talking about the above nonsense in a chaotic mess. The main purpose is to bring out the long-awaited "An Eye in a Mountain", just like the subtitle title of "An Eye in a Mountain".

Those real and cruel nuclear explosion records are mixed with disgusting and ugly freak pictures, and then paired with nostalgic but warm jazz songs, which makes people feel uncomfortable and weird.

Many horror movies in the United States now like to be accompanied by similar old music, not only because some of the movies are remakes and so nostalgic, but because these kinds of horror movies dominated by bloody killings, I sound like Old jazz like the "Great Compassion Curse" does have a distorted and gloomy feeling due to incoordination. It's like a bloody version of "Alice in Wonderland". Although it is a fairy tale, it is full of blood and blood, and it is twice as horrible than watching the bloody story alone. This is also one of the reasons why many horror films like to use the child dolls with love or the children themselves as the horror protagonists, such as "Bra" (bad omen), "Ghost Baby Bride" and so on.

Destroying the beautiful things in your heart is what horror film directors like to do most, and it is also something that horror film fans like me are willing to accept. Watching horror films is actually a masochistic thing, painful and happy.

In "There are Eyes Across the Mountain", the director and screenwriters destroyed the happiness of a family and destroyed a very ordinary American family who was traveling in an RV for the whole family. Or not just this one. When the seemingly weak son-in-law with glasses is looking for the abandoned cars in the huge nuclear explosion pit, you will be surprised, good guy, it turns out that the freak has been killed so much and fed. It's okay for a fool who loves to run to the door of ghosts.


According to the tradition of bloody horror movies in the United States, before the blood comes, they will tirelessly introduce the character of the victim and the relationship between them. Just before the tragic death of the victims, "Eyes from the Mountain" introduces the family, the estrangement between the son-in-law of the businessman and the retired policeman, the disdain of the younger son and the second daughter, etc. . Anyway, the parents are short, and they are not clear. If this is an ethical film, it is estimated that the director will let the plot develop into this absurd journey. After all the weird phenomena have disappeared, the family finally eliminates the barriers between them, standing hand in hand in front of the nuclear explosion pit to welcome the beautiful sunrise. . If this is a comedy, then we can go directly to the new film "Retreat Mission" by Luo (Robin Williams). In terms of plot, these two films have the same feeling, both of them are one family. Zhi Chang proposed to drive an RV for family trips.

Does the freak who are hurt and abandoned by the state in the movie represent the bottom group of people who are not paid attention to by society? Because this society has been hurting them over and over again, making them disappointed in this society, so they madly retaliate against this society and other people who live and work in this society like a wounded lion. This is a bit like the "hate of the rich" often said by comrade journalists who use rich people's money to satirize the poor.

The retired old policeman represented the law enforcement tool of this society, but unfortunately he was the first to be killed by a deformed man, tied to a tree stump like a cross and burned alive. Does it imply that the corrupt law enforcement part of this society cannot withstand the resistance of the people at the bottom?

Burning the "cross" was meant to blaspheme religion, but it was the law enforcer controlled by the government who was tied to the cross. Here, what does the director want to express?

The two sisters who were molested by freaks, as well as their mother and younger brother, are another group in the social mezzanine, not only the female class, or the group attached to the upper social group, they can’t fight against the people at the bottom. Although they struggled, they were finally overthrown by the people at the bottom!

In the end, the bloody rebellion of the son-in-law businessman who seemed to be quite weak, does it mean that he can really control the people at the bottom is economic sanctions! Of course, there is a price in blood.

The deformed little girl who steals the coat refers to a group of people at the bottom who desperately want to melt into the upper class. They don't want to confront the upper class. They just want to get along with each other in harmony and become an upper class. It's just a pity that in the end it can only be destroyed together with other people at the bottom who have been resisting.

Haha~~~ Just treat the above as boring.

Although the director Alexander Aga is French, he, like me, is an authentic American horror film fan. His previous work "Trembling Su" was also a bloody movie. It was about two female friends who went to the farm for vacation and met a BT murderer who killed them for no reason. It is also a very old American horror movie. But the shooting was quite good, intense enough, and exciting enough. It was also very popular among horror fans in those days. Therefore, the director of the 1977 old version of "Screaming and Screaming" in "An Eye Behind the Mountain": Wes Craven, Aga was boldly handed over the directorship of the new version of "An Eye Behind the Mountain". Sure enough, Aga did not let him down. The nuclear experiments that were incorporated in the movie produced a freak story that was not available in the old version, which further enhanced the theme of the movie.
