I watched it by accident a few years ago, and it was really exciting at the time. Let’s talk about the advantages
1. Create a progressive atmosphere
The movie opens with a scene of several young men and women having fun, with relaxing background music, um, is this a horror movie? Is it wrong to type 0.0 in the title.
Introduce the characters, what to do, the very common mode of several young people + a tour guide to explore the mysterious area. The tour guide is a special force, which makes people feel very reliable. A group of people boarded a van and set off laughing... When they entered the entrance of the empty city, they were stopped by two serious sentries, speaking inaudible. The atmosphere gradually began to change. Then he came across the mutated dead fish by the river, and laid a foreshadowing.
2. The gray environment is very realistic
They came to an empty city, a dilapidated building, an out-of-service playground, an empty school, and the overall gray tone gave people an immersive feeling. What will come next? Now all kinds of bad movies come up, all kinds of bloody and explosive scenes are tiresome. This kind of empty, dilapidated isolated city did not deliberately create an atmosphere of terror. Can't help but be curious. On the contrary, a bear wandered in, and it was a bit funny.
3. Lens
I read the previous film review and some people said that this shot is a style of accompanying observation, without deliberately shaking the shot, but it is very close to the perspective of several protagonists. Added realism. Until the car broke down and the tour guide was going outside.
...
This is basically where this film is higher than other horror films, and then it is relatively mediocre. Zombies, mutants, etc. are not surprising. Still worth 4 stars!
