If "Terror Cruise" is a brain-burning film, this film is also considered a small brain-burning film, but the overlapping of the timelines does not see much logic, and can only be explained by a multi-dimensional space. Finally, there is a complex for the sake of complexity. Suspect.
Most of Stephen King's novels talk about human nature in supernatural events. No matter what the director's level is, with the blessing of these two magic weapons, his novels are not too bad to be adapted into movies, but they can't be so wasteful.
The recent "Animal Cemetery" was finally made into a zombie movie, and it was bloody. In addition to the scary part of "IT", which is relatively retro, and successfully restored the scary part of the clown catching the child in the rainy water, the other parts are also plain and true, all foreshadowing the second part of the money.
For this "In the Tall Grass", I didn't read the original novel. When I believe that the level of Master Jin will not be bad.
But back to the movies. The director is clearly stretched on the scary approach. There is only a large meadow, and there is no other scene to play. It's hard to have a really scary bridge. The only thing that left an impression was that the two brothers and sisters jumped high in the grass to confirm each other's position. The first time they saw each other, they were right in front of them, and they jumped up again immediately. There is only continuous grass. These two jumps quickly explained the horror of the grass, leaving a broad space for imagination. Is the grass moving? eat human? Fall into a pit? anyone else?
The other scary parts are only the terrifying background sound, flies on the dead dog's corpse, screams, blood plasma, and scissors inserted into the eyeballs. Not enough terror, more than enough nausea. Not only does it fall into the standard horror movie standard, but it also seems to draw the focus to the audience. This is a horror movie, and it's time to cheer up. In the future, it is better to just pop the screen directly on the screen, it is scary here.
Whether it is a movie or a novel, the most advanced approach should be for the viewer to feel it. Whether this film is brain-burning or not, whether the plot is advanced or not, this horror is not up to the mark.
Speaking of drama. Still two story lines. One line is paranormal, a haunted church and meadows. Because redemption entered the grass, pay attention, the church is not the church, the church is just a deceptive disguise, next to the church, there are many cars parked, is there any ghost. So when they strayed into the grass because of various shouts, they all thought they were heroes and should shoulder the righteousness of entering the grass to save people. Unexpectedly, it is the grass that is familiar with human nature and attracts people into the pit.
The big stone in the center of the grass is a damn totem. The name of the church is Black Stone Church, but Black Stone was originally in the grass opposite the church. Just touching the black stone means conversion. The real estate agent touched it, and was quickly brainwashed, converted into a lackey, and madly recruited people everywhere, even his son would not let go, and he would kill his wife.
In the end, the real hero, Travis, chose to convert himself, took the initiative to touch the black stone, understood the veins of the grass, and rescued the little boy, but instead of sending it to the road, he put it directly back to the church room. It can be seen that the church is connected with the grass, outsiders cannot enter, and travis cannot open the room in the church.
Another line is the grievances and grievances of several people. It's also very bloody, the brother wants to occupy the sister and wants to kill her ex-boyfriend. There is also a real estate agent, who seems to be calm, but is actually unhappy.
The part where the heroine gives birth to a child becomes the climax of the whole film. The two storylines are also combined. The director is clearly having fun. All kinds of dark elements are piled up. Eating raw baby meat, an underground purgatory world, a prophecy-like totem on the Black Rock. Coupled with the shaky footage, the director gave a powerful medicine, and you said it again.
It was originally a natural disaster, but finally it became a man-made disaster, a classic golden novel. In the grass, it can be regarded as a confined space, the interspersed time line seems complicated, and the actual movie does not answer in detail, as if this is just a place where Qianxun helps his parents to complete the redemption, just a disappearing time that does not exist in memory. The subject matter of the movie is partial, and the production is not big. The intention is to make the grass into a new nightmare, but the technique is not clever enough, and I feel nothing after watching it. Human conflict is back at the heart of the film's story.
Grass! Forget it.
