To fulfill the wishes of supporters who have followed for many years

The remake of the "classic" killing film "Black Friday" was released on "Black Friday" on February 13 in the United States, and was released on Thursday (April 23) in Hong Kong. Outside of the audience with ordinary movie-watching mentality, there are probably some fans who have followed this film for a long time.

In the 1970s and 1980s, there were many "excellent films": "Inhumane", "Black Friday", "Moonlight Panic", "Stranger Call", "Feasting and Killing Eve", "Psycho for Girls" , "Monster Street", "The Dead", "The Storm", "Valentine's Day"... and many more.

"Black Friday" is as "classic" in this genre as "Moonlight," "Nightmare Street," or "Inhumane." The original story of the film is that the employees of the Crystal Lake Resort caused the child Jackson to "drown" due to negligence. His mother retaliated against the camp but was killed, but after Jackson was "reborn", he started a "long" killing ( The original series even has eleven episodes of "Ghost King Rebirth"). This film can be said to "combine" the first few episodes of the original version, so watching this film is "intimate" to fans.

Audiences may scoff at the film, but fans have little to complain about. Although Jackson was still "bandaged" in the middle of the film, he couldn't help feeling a little excited when he saw the familiar hockey mask. Over the years, watching these "classic" series can only be done through DVDs, and going to the theater to watch these "classic characters" play their "strengths" is to tell us that we were not born in that "golden age" (the 1970s and 1980s) The carnage fans are very excited. The last time I watched "Moonlight Light's Panic Killing Qingguang" at the theater was enjoyable, and this time it was the same. After all, those who enter the movie theater also know what they want before buying tickets.

It is correct for the film to change the story arrangement to Jackson's "Open Wave", and Jackson's "Death" is also "loyal to the original". What everyone wants to see is this undead hockey mask maniac. In recent years, there have been some new "representatives" (such as Leslie Vernon in "Masked Killer"), but most of them are not as strong as "classic characters" ("Fear Room" is a "surge", even functional and "critical"). "Both).

Entering to watch such movies has long since let go of the usual set of movie viewing guidelines. As long as it adheres to the "tradition" and plays steadily, those who follow this path will leave the game satisfied. The director has filmed the new version of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" of "Inhumane". The chase scene in the last shot was very compelling. The chase in the slaughterhouse is a representative work of the chase scenes in the recent carnage films. This time, although the functionality is sufficient, the scene seems to be a bit inferior and a little less pressing, but overall, fans can leave the scene "satisfied".

Works that pay tribute to the old work have come one after another. The second episode of the remake of "Moonlight" will be released this year, and the remakes of "Monster Street" and "The Storm" will also be held in the past two years. Available.

However, in the end, I still hope that horror films will have new sparks again, and it is impossible to "pay tribute" to the old works. In addition, horror movies are not only in the "category" of killing movies, but other "categories" have been lackluster in recent years, and there are not many excellent works. What makes horror movie fans aftertaste are the previous works such as "Shocking", "Ghost Exorcism" people" etc. It's not impossible to remake old works, but you can't just "focus" on this aspect. At the same time of "nostalgia", the last wave of the Yangtze River pushes the previous wave, so that writing a new chapter of the genre can draw a far-sighted map for this genre and restore the audience's confidence in this genre.
