It has been 2 years since "Death Video 1" to this sequel, and these two years have been nothing but anticipation of "Death Video 2", "Dark Assault 2" and Romero's "New Zombies". The last part of the "Trilogy", the anxiety is that all three have been released abroad, or have participated in film festivals, but none of them have been released yet. But after two weeks, I entered "Death Video 2" and "Dark Invasion 2", which made me ecstatic. In this age of horror movie fans, I likened them to "a long drought and a rain", at least For me, this analogy is extremely appropriate, but this description is only left in expectation.
The sequel of "Death Video 2" is a little thoughtful, such as the small window in the camera, the superposition of several stories, the more fancy editing than the previous one, and the subversive theme - the "brave" of the zombie film to the hodgepodge film "Transformation.
The shooting method of this series is indeed a timely move after the effect of "Blair Witch", but the level of fear in "Diaries of the Living Dead" and "Ghost Records" can't be compared to "Death Video 1". The desperation and suffocation, and the right rhythm, were the biggest highlight of Series 1, and this advantage carried over to Series 2. It must be admitted that the scene of venturing in the attic with the night vision lights on is indeed terrifying.
But the funny thing is, what is the positioning of this film? Zombies? Devil? Alien? This is completely confusing the comprehension ability of junior movie fans, and it also exposes the flaws of Spanish horror films that are imaginative, but lacking in practice and full of logical loopholes. From this point of view: people possessed by demons can actually make other people look like zombie films. Infection, and this devil is actually an alien bug and can imitate people's speech. Going back to the series 1 without the existence of gods and ghosts, the most terrifying thing is that it is so real like a story that happened around me, obviously, it is still the series 2 of the pseudo-documentary horror film, this big step has been taken. boundary. If there really is a series 3, we are just watching a fake documentary ghost movie, how can it be scary?
