The Past and Present of Friday the 13th

I went there on Friday the 13th when I bought the tickets, and I saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre by Michael Bay remake a few years ago. Not bad, after all, the original is a classic, and the remake has a lot of new ideas, which is considered a sincere work. Inexplicably, I have a lot of expectations for this remake Friday the 13th.

Unfortunately, I can only say that my expectations are too high. After all, Friday the 13th is not The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. , The plot is weak, I remember from the first episode of Friday the 13th until I saw nine in one breath, I couldn't see the difference between the first five episodes, adolescent teenagers camping, drinking and drinking, bubble girls, and then telling ghost stories, talking about camp There was a pervert nearby who came out to slaughter people every Friday the 13th, and after that, he was completely killed.

At that time, he felt that the Americans were so fooled, and the same script changed his name and ending, and it was a new work, still there Box office.

It is estimated that the director of this new work also understands that the storyline of Friday the 13th is a weak point (there is no plot at all). Although it is a remake, it is not a remake of the first film, but the plot of the first, second and third films. Throw it out.

In the first few minutes of the new film, I finished the first part of Friday the 13th (it shows how weak the story is), people who have watched Friday the 13th generally think that the murderous setting of this film is like halloween (Dai Bai Mask, Michal with a Knife) or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (a leather-faced man in a human-skin mask and a chainsaw), it's that stupid big jason in a hockey mask (see poster for details).

Wrong, in fact, Friday the 13th In the first story, the killer is Jason's mother. (Ah!!!! Spoiler here!!!) Jason's character didn't appear until Friday the 13th, with a sack wrapped around his head and a machete. (Ah!!! Another spoiler here!!!)

The new role took twenty minutes and four lives to account for the second part of the old work. And Jason put on the hockey mask only from the third part of Friday the 13th, (he only wears this in the second part The stinky sack), the new work is also very considerate to put the main line of the story on Jason putting on the hockey mask, and then the real blood and blood began to fly.

The later plot will not be discussed, because there is no The plot is nothing more than you chasing me and hiding. In fact, all horror movies have such a plot. It's very strange, and the audience just enjoys it.

Probably horror movies and porn are the same thing, as long as you change the actor, change the posture, always You will see new pleasures.

However, I found that Hollywood horror films are actually quite educational. On the surface, they are dressed in horror. The central idea can still extract some dogmas to persuade people to be kind. For example, those who are busy all day long , The bad boys who use drugs and alcohol are basically dead, and the good boys who are decent people have survived to the end, which is very positive.

The only dissatisfaction is that Asian actors have recently replaced blacks in horror movies. The funny character is still single (the Aventures are basically white), and before I hang up, I don't forget to laugh at the audience and adjust the atmosphere. It's really miserable.

To add, in fact, the character Jason is no longer a human in the original work. , After all, horror movies are for money. In the past ten years, as long as the market needs it, the screenwriter has brought him back to life at any time, buried in the ground for a few years, and resurrected, only the heart is fried, and ordinary people eat it, It can also become him.

Fortunately, the screenwriter of the new work is not so thunderous, maybe these plots are reserved for the sequel?
