First of all, Lake Eden is just a mediocre thriller, it doesn't matter if you watch it or not, it's purely personal opinion, please don't argue
(modify, in general, this movie It should be regarded as a good thriller, except for the final ending)
The following contains spoilers
. But all European and American thrillers and horror films, if they belong to the 2nd or 3rd level, generally cannot get rid of some routine modes.
Usually the protagonist will be because of some Trivial things are related to ghosts, criminals, perverted murderers, etc. because of a little friction or accident, and then they are chased and killed. After a lot of hardships, when the protagonist is driven to a dead end, most of them will become brave, and The goblin killers fought to the death and realized they weren't really that big of a deal. Most of the protagonists will endure hardships and escape safely at the end. A considerable number of them will be filled by women who are weaker at the beginning.
When I see this routine all the time, I sometimes feel a little dull and boring, but if the director suddenly changes these routines, what will the effect be?
The result is that if the director does not improve in other areas, but only changes for the sake of change, it is likely to turn an otherwise mediocre, but worthwhile entertainment film into a very depressing movie
"Eden". "The Lake" is one example
. A pair of young men and women were playing in the wild, and they had friction with a group of bad boys. The conflict between the two sides gradually escalated, and finally developed to the point where both sides paid the price of their lives
. Everything seems so logical. As a thriller, it basically has everything that it should have. The plots of the bridge and the plot are too routine
. The only thing that surprised me is that the heroine who rose up and went through hardships, in the end, Died, the heroine who died under the fathers of those delinquent boys
also killed two boys, but unfortunately they shouldn't die. The most damned mad guy lived well in the end. Conventional routines only bring the audience's depression
It is true that life is not always so beautiful, and evil and good will often not happen, but as a film, if there is no profound connotation and artistic conception, it cannot make people think. At least after watching it, it should be enjoyable and relieved, and it can be regarded as a qualified entertainment film.
As I said before, the performance of "Eden Lake" was lackluster. Maybe what the audience has been waiting for is the end. The heroine hit the hateful teenager with a wooden stick and spit out the evil anger accumulated in her heart. At least, that's what I thought.
The heroine shouldn't die. Although she killed two teenagers and girls who shouldn't have died, anyone who has experienced what happened to her will probably fall into this crazy state.
Recently, I saw two films of this type in succession, the other being "Fall into Hell". Is the arrangement of European and American thriller/horror films already starting to form a trend?
I really don't want this, a mediocre movie, it's enough to give me a good night, make my mood go up and down, and finally be able to pull up instead of sinking to the bottom
If the director thinks this kind of unconventional can deepen the audience If you have an impression, then what I want to say is that the next time I see this director's film, I will tend not to watch it.
