surgical

Although I have already been familiar with the storylines of the bloody journeys of several young Americans who are full of energy, male and female, and full of fun, I still want to say that this film is compared with the previous "Hostel", "Wolf Creek" and "Wolf Creek". "Even "The Blair Witch Project" is a bit of a stretch.

Bringing the unfinished plot, which is always seen at the end of the film, to the title first, and not doing any coherent processing at the end of the film, is indeed a clever way to arouse the audience's interest without making it boring. Secondly, the whole film does not give any explanation to the most mysterious protagonist, the Aztec Pyramid. At the same time, there are very few scenes dealing with the mysterious species on the tower, and leaving most of the scenes in the dark is a kind of Chinese ink painting. Great technique in white space. As for the ringtone that has always brought "the voice of hope", it can be regarded as a masterpiece of "Waiting for Godot". Flowers that can simulate any sound? It's amazing!

Of course, how can you miss such a fancy surgical operation. If "The Hills Have Eyes" is bloody from beginning to end like falling into a pool of blood, then this film can be said to cherish blood like gold. But it's not that it's not bloody, but it's shocking to come!

Finally, I have to ask, why are there no such films with low investment and short production cycle and marketable in my country? The answer is not a language problem. Take a look at Hong Kong films in the 1990s. Isn’t it also Chinese exported to the world? Or the Cantonese version. And it should be pointed out that Chinese is not difficult. Compared with English, which is full of words and variable pronunciations, French with confused numbers, and Spanish, which has yin and yang in everything, Chinese without tense changes is the most convenient language. ;The answer is also not that there is no market. I also watch Hong Kong films in the 1990s, which are sold all over the world. I don’t know if there are any downloads from Alien Planet; One is enough. What is the answer? The answer is probably to do a "surgery" like amputation in the film. [By Vincentspring]

    I don't like movies like this. Terrifyingly unpleasant. The knife was bloody. Made up. Those scumbags, the villagers just set fire to it, and they don't understand the language. They killed so many people in vain. The plot itself is absurd!

    The idea and theme are good, but the horror effect is very general.
