Speaking of this series of movies, it may be more reminiscent of the so-called brutality and blood. In fact, this series of movies is far less scary than the legend. All the rumors about vomiting while watching can only be based on those who are anemia; bloody maybe bloody, but not that terrible. In a small, spacious and dirty room, sitting on a chair, a bloodied and dying man was crying and crying, and beside him was a man in a rubber coat holding various tools. torturing the person in the chair. One more panoramic close-up, and then we can see a table like a mold factory workshop with many blood-stained tools on it. Such shots and scenes left a deep impression on us in last year's "Humanskin Inn". The return of the same production team makes this year's "Humanskin Inn 2" full of expectations for people who are obsessed with filthy movies here. Is it to repeat everything in the previous work and give it a more thorough torture, or to continue the original plot and move forward, or to apply the same framework to other characters according to the inherent objective laws... This seems to be a series Positioning that must be considered in the aftermath of the film. Abandoning all or the continuation of the previous article is always a question worth pondering. Perhaps we can give this sequel a perfect definition by comparing it with the other films in the series. Because this movie incorporates almost all of the definitions mentioned earlier. The first is the continuation, the end of the previous movie is the beginning of this movie, when I thought this movie will continue the plot of the previous movie, the male protagonist has his head cut off and sits on a chair close-up Completely overturned my conjecture. Then what we can see is another story on the same frame. And the connection between the two lies in the tight organization of that hunting ground. More brutal killings and more bloody close-ups, the protagonists of the story changed from several men to several women, and the man who escaped became the beginning of these women's nightmares. Starting with a continuation of the plot, a killing game that strengthens the straightforward style, in my opinion, this series of movies can still be attributed to a sadomasochistic movie. It's just because the element of love is reduced and the element of abuse is enlarged to the extreme, so this series of movies is often attributed to the bloody cut (cut) movie and it is difficult to remind people of those various s/m tricks. When we can't understand the sadomasochism of s/m, we also can't seem to understand the cut in this series. But from another point of view, when the abuse in s/m is expressed in a more extreme way, such as killing and cutting, maybe the psychological complexes of the two are the same. I no longer struggled to think about the monstrous psychological archetypes behind these brutal murders, and it seems to me that this series is just a form of s/m sadomasochism just as incomprehensible but crazier. If you look at the story frame of the previous work, the ending of the movie that also escapes from life will undoubtedly make people tired and boring. And one of the reasons why this movie can be classified as a perfect sequel is that it eschews the same ending and completes the role reversal of the slain and the slaughtered in a more frenzied way. The heroine buys her life to remove herself from the tortured role and kills the man who entered the hunting game for the first time. If it is just a helpless perfect escape, then the second time to participate in this game and kill the man who entered the hunting game for the first time. Could it be understood as revenge to kill the female model who led her and her friends into this horrific situation. Perhaps what we can see in her indifferent expression is an unstoppable crazy desire. What I remember is the interpretation of murder in the Hong Kong film "Gun King". Once you start killing people, you will be obsessed with the deadly feeling of tearing your flesh. This movie makes this terrible desire more straightforward and primitive. The killing in the hunting game also stirs the crazy and primitive blood factor inherited from the ancestors in the blood, which may be all this movie has. Psychologically tangled. I remember reading a book on psychology before. When it came to sadomasochism, it said that everyone has a desire for brutality and blood in their subconscious or expressive consciousness. inherited from our lives. The complex of cruelty, blood, and cruelty is because of the bloodthirsty madness of our ancestors for the killing of other species and the expulsion of the same kind from their own territory, so the book definitely defines: the potential of each person There is more or less this incredible bloodthirsty desire in consciousness and expressive consciousness. Perhaps, we have no time to argue whether this theory is correct or not. However, what we can't deny is the existence of s/m-style sadomasochistic people, so this kind of madness that has developed to the extreme and more deformed sadomasochistic nature seems to be an undeniable possibility. What we can't deny is that all kinds of bizarre desires and people who serve them still exist in the modern society that is attached to the Internet and highly developed. 'Tourism ad' from a real Thai website: You can kill as much as you want as long as you can afford it. The existence of this reality seems to provide a realistic basis for demonstrating this strange tone theory. The most visually striking thing about this movie should be the killing methods we never imagined. For example, in the roasting in the first movie, a musket was used to scorch the flesh around a person's eyes, and the person would keep screaming in pain, but would not die and continue to torture. And this movie is much more terrifying than its predecessor in this regard: hanging a living body in the air, slowly slicing the flesh with ancient weapons, and letting blood drip all over the body; or, using a knife and fork to A living person cuts the skin to take out the muscles under the skin, and elegantly eats human flesh raw while playing elegant classical music... It is not an exaggeration to think of this movie as a crazy sadomasochistic complex in extreme mode. Put an ignorant person in a small space and use the craziest way in your heart to kill him, kill him in the most imaginative way, listen to the other party's screams and heart-piercing despair, let the whole The space is filled with a bloody madness... When s/m's sadomasochistic complex develops to the craziest, when a person is suppressed to the point of madness, perhaps, it can only be carried out in this extreme way Self-regulation and venting.
