"Death is Coming" is a long-lived series that appeared around the same time as "Chainsaw" in recent years. It has a certain popularity and audience base. Almost as long as the audience pays attention to European and American bloody movies, the names of these two films are somewhat different. heard. For these series in the horror film industry that treat movies as TV series, the audience basically scolded them while watching them with relish. For "Chainsaw", the scolding was not because of the filming. It's really that bad, because it is recognized that only 4 and 5 of the six "Chainsaw" movies are relatively poor. The latest sequel "Chainsaw 6" is of good quality. It is a rare high-scoring movie in the "Chainsaw" series. In fact, "Chainsaw" is more of a dislike of the producer's infinite expansion of the content of the film, and the network becomes larger and larger. As for "Death is Coming", it is recognized that the quality is worse than the other.
Personally, I prefer the first three films. "Death Comes 1" is the first film in the series. The effect of the film may not be as good as the last two films, but as the first film of this idea, the atmosphere and logic , the overall layout is the most thoughtful part. Because "Death Comes 2" already has the successful mode of the first part that can be copied, it does not involve too many other aspects like the first part, but focuses on the logical arrangement of the way of death , The biggest significance of "Death Comes 2" is that the director has figured out the prototype of this series of movies. Due to the help of new technology, "Death Come 3" has the strongest impact on the visual effects of the three films, but unfortunately the director and script just wanted to eat the old money, and did not innovate the story mode, so "Death Come 3" It is completely a logical dead film, but fortunately, the logical design and entertainment effects of the film are still in place. There are a lot of highlights and gimmicks, so the box office is still objective. It’s just that compared to the way that “The God of Death 2” is somewhat far-fetched and related to “The God of Death 1”, “The God of Death 3” is completely separated from the previous two films, positioning the film’s independence. , This has led to less and less things to be mined in the film, and the story content is getting thinner and thinner. This shortcoming hit a blowout state in "Death Come 4".
Poor some horror movie fans are still lamenting that the quality of "Chainsaw" has declined. Compared with the "Reaper" series, "Chainsaw" even the worst 4 and 5 are better than "Reaper 4" "It's a lot better. If "Death is Coming 3" loses the expansion of the image of Death and the complete system of the story, at least its type gimmick is in place. And "Death Comes 4", not only has a thinner story and weaker background than "Death Comes 3", but even the type of gimmicks that this series relies on to survive are not in place. The audience can forgive you that you just let the characters come and go from beginning to end without involving any other content, but director, you must have created a little surprise in this process. Looking at the death methods of the dead protagonists in "Death is Coming 4", the biggest attraction of this "Death" series, you can always find the shadow of the death of a certain character from the design of 4. The death method of each character in "The God of Death 3" can be said to be a foreshadowing, expansion, and then completed in one go. In "The God of Death 4", not only there are no new ways to die, but the first few parts or other The director played the rest, and the director of 4 was not even competent enough to design the logical relationship attentively for the way of death of the character. . The first three parts are designed to let the audience know the steps of the god of death step by step, and let the audience watch the god of death release the long line, cast the bait, and finally catch the bait. The most attractive thing about the "Death" series is this kind of The danger is approaching the protagonist step by step, but he has to watch the unknowing protagonist slowly jump into the trap laid out by the god of death. And "Death Comes 4" said that those designed in the film are traps, all of which have raised the ability of the production team, because you can't feel the sense of danger from the beginning to the end.
In addition to this, what is even more terrible is that compared with 3, "Death Come 4" has not made much progress in the creation of visual effects. Except for the gimmick of 3D, it has even gone backwards a lot, and there are even directors in some places. Deliberately showing off the feeling of special effects, for example, the first woman who was smashed into meat sauce by a tire, and the man who was cut into pieces by barbed wire, the special effects are not fake, but this design is too fake, and there are several people who can die like this in reality. On the other hand, in 3, the woman who was cooked and the woman who was nailed to death by a nail gun are the most common ways of dying, but because the event logic is very well designed, the effect is very shocking.
The ending of "Death Is Coming 4" even more highlights the director's lack of talent. It completely copied the ending design of 3, and the copy was nondescript. The second encounter with the death of 3 was only used at the end, when the audience originally thought it was calm. At the time of the reversal, the effect is obvious, but in the 4th, the second death encounter was used early in the second half, and then at the end, it seemed that I wanted to have a third death encounter, but the director has no creativity to create this. The impact of the idea, so let the protagonist die and havetily. By the way, the listless cast of the film also makes the overall viewing performance plummet.
If the director of "Death Comes 4" is so attentive to the overall and script of the film, I believe "Death Come 4" will be a great film, and the director of 4 can't make anything new Tricks, we can't scold any new tricks in the same way.
