I've never really liked suspenseful horror movies before. Horror movies that don't feel like ghosts and gods don't cause real fear, so they can't be considered real horror movies. And this kind of thinking has completely changed since the series came into contact with the death of the gods.
It's not just the overthrow of the traditional Chinese "if you don't die, there will be good luck", it's not only fatalism, but also all kinds of unpredictable and creative ways of dying. Watching the movies in this series (especially the first three), it feels like you are comparing your IQ with the screenwriter (or Death), you always think you can guess, but the ending always surprises you.
The design of death is a major attraction of Death, and it is also the most obvious feature of this series. But this feature is unfortunately not maintained. The deaths of the first and second parts are still mainly accidental accidents, which can be regarded as a masterpiece of death for the time being. In the fourth and fifth parts of the series, the design of death began to show a complex and chaotic trend. Although it is still difficult for the audience to guess the way of death, they have not seen the hearty feeling of death, and more More than a kind of anger that has been deceived.
Moreover, starting from the second part, in order to make up for the lack of plot design, the series began to intentionally or unintentionally add some scales and heavy scenes, especially the fourth part, which also lowered the style of the film to a certain extent. If the shots of the second and third films are still expressions of some genre film elements, then those shots of the fourth film, in my opinion, are completely out to sell meat. . .
In addition to the death cycle, another feature of the death of the gods is the setting of "how to break the catastrophe and not die and still have troubles". The only purpose of the protagonist of each film is to break the cycle of death of the protagonist and save as many people as possible. They study the order of death, but their concept of man conquering heaven does not apply to this film. Although very few people actually escaped death in the end, it is a bit of a bad taste of cats and mice to see the trapped beasts of the protagonist from the perspective of God.
In addition, The God of Death has been focusing on expressing the terrifying atmosphere before the coming of the God of Death, and this method of setting off the terrifying atmosphere is relatively unique. It uses some details to suggest the terrifying things that will happen next, and interprets these seemingly inexplicable details. , has also become a kind of behavior that movie fans like to see, and it increases the repeatability of the movie. This feature is particularly evident in the first part.
The first movie of Death is so good, it has now caused a shadow on my mind when I take a plane. Especially the kind of setting where you know that something will happen, and you don't get off the plane for various reasons. It makes people feel that life and death are really a momentary thing.
The first one feels very amazing, the rhythm is tight, and the suspense is full, and the fancy death mode of each character is dazzling enough, and each character is full of personality;
The second and third films did not dig more at the level of the world view, but only introduced new scenes, the design of the death mode, and the clues of various hints. capital;
In the fourth part, it only relies on heavy tastes and scale dramas to gain attention. In the fourth part, the main creator lost control of the whole story rhythm and worldview, and the death mode design was extremely rough (the fourth part even appeared suspected of death, In my opinion, this setting is extremely stupid). In the end, the return of the protagonist team is also taken away in one wave, without any subtle feeling of technical processing. I think this is the worst one in the series;
Although the fifth part made some corrections on the basis of the fourth part, it was far from the expected effect. The suspense was driven by the god of death and turned into a human being. All evils originated from the human heart. This setting is really not suitable for putting In the tonal movie where death is coming. . . And the powerlessness of the fifth part shows that this series has really declined.
Hope this series comes back one day.
Just sauce.
