Hello everyone, I'm Alaska with glasses and a microphone.
Hello! friend! It's summer, looking for a horror movie to cool down!
When it comes to series of horror films, you can't escape an IP - "The Chainsaw".
Since director Wen Ziren collaborated with Ray Warner to film the first "Chainsaw" in 2004, the series has been teasing our fragile nerves at the rate of one film every year.
"Chainsaw 8", which was thought to have been brewing for 7 years, but the box office word of mouth doubled on the street, is the last grave soil to bury this IP.
I didn't expect that, ah iron juice, cheating! !
After four years, we finally ushered in a new series of works:
Chainsaw 9: Vortex
If I had to use three words to describe how I feel about this movie, it would be:
White! wait! !
Do not believe? Hear me break it down for you:
I haven't seen the first 8 "Chainsaw" and it doesn't affect the viewing at all, because this movie has nothing to do with the main line of "Chainsaw".
The story takes place... the writer didn't say it, but considering the high crime rate and the incompetence of the police, it might be Gotham City.
At this time, the legendary killer "Jigsaw" has been dead for many years, and his legend has long been lost on the rivers and lakes.
Our hero, police officer Xiao Hei, was excluded from the entire police station 12 years ago because he reported a black police officer who shot and killed a witness. He was even shot at a black gun. If it wasn't for his father's high power, he would have died somewhere in an unknown alley.
One day, a murder occurred in Gotham City: a police officer was hanged in the subway, causing passing trains to smash into pieces;
On the grounds that the police officer was his good friend, Xiao Hei grabbed the command to investigate the case and scolded the entire police station by the way.
Can he have friends with his character? I do not believe.
Xiaohei followed the clues and found a box on the outer wall of the courthouse, which contained the tongue, badge and letter of the murderer of the murdered police officer.
The murderer said that the policeman gave perjury in the court, and he died.
I reasonably suspect that there is Tiffany's counterpart in the film's investors, otherwise they would not use Tiffany's classic color matching gift boxes to contain various human organs.
A red spiral pattern appeared on the outer wall of the courthouse.
The murderer is a mosquito coil frog, close the case!
Just kidding, the officers immediately recognized the origin of the pattern: the two blushes on the face of the iconic Jigsaw doll.
But the grass on the jigsaw grave was two meters high, and his disciples would not attack the police, so they ruled out the possibility of committing crimes.
Good guy, I suspect that the director and screenwriter who made this film haven't seen the previous work, and Detective Hoffman in the third film said he was very embarrassed.
One wave after another, the police assisting the investigation of the case, because he shot and killed innocent people, was electrocuted in the warehouse, and his fingers were torn off by the agency before he died;
Xiao Hei's new partner was slaughtered as a pig in the meat factory, and his skin was peeled off to make a doll;
The only female boss in the police station who was waiting to see Xiao Hei was suffocating her mouth and nose with hot wax in the archives because she was covering up the black police officers under her.
Even Xiao Hei's father mysteriously disappeared...
Finally, the murderer eyed Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei wakes up to find himself handcuffed in an abandoned factory with a hacksaw at hand.
You thought he was going to pay tribute to the first part and saw off his own hand?
Sawed, but not fully sawed.
Because Xiao Hei found a hairpin on the ground and opened the handcuffs, was he surprised or surprised?
What was even more surprising was later, when Xiao Hei discovered that there was a person in front of him who was tied with chains and hung from a steel beam.
It was the black policeman who was reported by him twelve years ago!
Xiao Hei can choose to save him, or just stand by and walk away.
The mechanism was activated, and the glass ballast shot into the black policeman's body like a bullet. When Xiao Hei found the key to open the lock, the black policeman had already died.
At the end of the game, the real murderer finally appeared: the final boss is actually Xiao Hei's skinned partner.
Absolutely, don't you guys test for DNA?
It turned out that this partner was the son of the witness who was beaten to death by the black police twelve years ago, and he was determined to kill all the black police.
In his opinion, Xiao Hei is the only honest police officer in the entire police station, and he plans to cooperate with Xiao Hei in the division of labor: Xiao Hei finds the black policeman, and he kills the black policeman.
In order to test Xiao Hei's determination, he also prepared a big gift - Xiao Hei's father.
The partner gave Xiao Hei a gun with only one bullet in it, either killing him with one shot or breaking the chain to save the person.
I wonder why you are hesitating here? Break the chain with one shot, and then wait for the police to arrest the person?
In the end, the father was rescued, but was shot to death by the special police who came to support him as a prisoner.
The jigsaw imitator who tortured and killed the black policeman was brought down by Xiao Hei's set of eight punches because his intelligence and force were too low .
It also drew an end to this "Chainsaw 9".
The "Chainsaw" series can be regarded as an evergreen horror film, and "Nianzhihuo", which alternates with "Death Is Coming", I choose a few from them every year to review it again.
The biggest attraction of this series lies in the curious scenes, the highly creative organs and the redemption of human nature.
"Chainsaw 9" completely discarded these three highlights and reduced it to an embarrassingly mediocre plasma B-level film.
The previous "Chainsaw" never overemphasized blood, but focused on cruelty. Even if there were bloody scenes, it was to show the brutality of the agency.
And "Chainsaw 9" may realize that its mechanism is nothing new, and it takes a big shot at the corpse that was hit by the subway and smashed to pieces.
What the hell, this piece of rotten meat brought money into the group?
Bloody and inexperienced, the horror of "Chainsaw 9" is extremely monotonous and boring, all relying on a startled white cloth to cover the head.
Cover your head.
Cover your head again.
Did you smear Ollie on this white cloth? Why do men, women, or children get dizzy when they cover it, and they fall when they cover it?
Even if you change a piece of black cloth, I will consider you creative.
The director's creative exhaustion is also reflected in the design of the agency.
The director of the film is Darren Lynn Bousman, director of "Chainsaw" 2 and 3, and has worked with James Wan's royal screenwriter Ray Warner.
Later, Wen Ziren left early, and Ray Warner followed closely. He also filmed "Upgrade" and the thriller "The Invisible Man" which I explained before, both of which are classic cases of low-cost leveraging high box office .
And the return of this wave of kings of Lao Bao, let us know who is the key to the success of "Chainsaw".
It's Wen Ziren and Ray Warner.
Looking back on Part 2 and 3, a large number of imaginative traps appeared, which became the lingering nightmare of the audience:
A syringe hell costing 120,000 syringes;
The life-threatening iron face that can only be rescued by digging out the eyeball;
Full of beauty, a steel cross that twists people into twists;
Piercing through the limbs, repeatedly pounding the copper ring and iron rope that the audience feels pain;
In contrast, "Chainsaw 9", what is there?
Tongue pulling, fingers pulling, skin peeling, wax dripping...
Are you "Chainsaw" or "Humanskin Inn"? Redemption of humanity or unilateral abuse?
The biggest attraction of the "Chainsaw" series, and what makes it stand out from a large number of B-level plasma films, is the human choice in front of the agency.
Jigsaw, the originator of the "Chainsaw" series of killers, is a professional engineer in civil engineering, proficient in various organs.
But his mechanism can be cracked, as long as you are willing to pay a certain price, the price points directly to the sin you committed.
Therefore, the mechanism of the jigsaw is dubbed "the theme park of cherishing life" by the starches.
His apprentice Amanda, former criminal police officer Hoffman and "Disciple No. 0" have different styles of institutions, highlighting one who does not leave a living room, and therefore becomes the object of scolding by "starches".
In "Chainsaw 9", all kinds of unimaginative mechanisms have been completely reduced to tools for torture.
None of these highlights, so what does "Saw 9" have?
There were awkward castings, awkward acting, and awkward plots.
In addition to being indifferent and pretending to be cool, the male protagonist is incompetent and furious, and occasionally hysterical, which makes people shout.
Excuse me, why did the male lead show this expression:
A. I won the lottery ticket I bought yesterday
B. Found out that his wife is cheating
C. Received a doll made of the skin of his close partner
Excuse me, what is the man doing?
A. fashion show runway
B. Looking for the toilet with poop in it
C. To rescue the boss who may burp at any time
What is he doing again?
A. Indecent assault on the seriously wounded
B. to vent anger
C. Do CPR to the boss
As a post-60s generation who has been in the film and television circle for decades, it is really commendable that his acting skills are still so "not forgetting the original intention".
My Houmi, my forever bro, please, go back and be your talk show actor.
Samuel L. Jackson, the "Fuck Man" who plays the male protagonist's father, also makes people play.
As long as he's around, the tone of the whole movie doesn't get tense.
Don't say it's a jigsaw, if you add a few horizontal saws, miter saws, and cross saws, he can pack it all by himself.
It really can't be called Captain Marvel.
You may wonder: at this level, why are you messing around in the police station?
To be honest, this police station is full of iron fives.
Whether it is a phone or a mobile phone, no one answers;
Because a policeman was attacked, the entire police station was completely shut down;
(dare you laugh?)
A large boiler filled with wax was installed under the eyelids, but it was not discovered;
If an unknown body is found, file it directly without testing the DNA;
The villain BOSS is even more amusing. He clearly stated that he has a safe escape route, but was knocked down by the seriously injured male protagonist.
You guys are really rookie chickens pecking at each other, evenly matched opponents.
When the male protagonist was faced with the final choice, the iconic BGM of Jigsaw sounded, and I couldn't help bursting into tears: MD, not only IQ, but also feelings were overwhelmed by the screenwriter.
Fortunately, it's called "Whirlpool", it's basically a toilet, which flushes the screenwriter's brain and my feelings into it.
The quality of the "Chainsaw" series has always been mixed, and it is purely a matter of opinion as to which of them is the worst.
However, the emergence of this "Chainsaw 9" directly ended the competition and made the competition final.
I believe that from now on, no matter how talented people come out of the country, they will not be able to shake the position of "Chainsaw 9", and its rottenness is a certainty.
Lionsgate repeated the mistakes of the eighth film, and quickly released news to find a way to make up for it, making it clear that "Saw: Vortex" is just a rumor, and another real "Saw 9" will be filmed in the future.
Let's just trust Lionsgate again.
If you don't believe it, there's nothing you can do. The IP is in the hands of Lionsgate.
Ah, by the way, "The Conjuring 3" directed by Wen Ziren, the founder of "Chainsaw", is launched today. I don't know if it can break the curse of Wen Ziren's "lead or rot".
Friends who want to see me explain "The Conjuring 3", quickly move your fingers and give a like! Let me see your enthusiasm!
That's all for today, I went to watch "The Conjuring 3".
Bye bye!
