The prelude of the film is indeed very speechless, so I changed the name of the staff in a mysterious way, and it has been depressingly waiting for 2 minutes and 39 seconds before it officially enters the beginning of the film.
There is something interesting at the beginning, just using a photo, a few quarrels, and some tears that did not fall to outline the background of the whole story: a couple whose relationship broke down because their children died early, marching on a dark road side. Their choice of which way to go also reflects their choice of life path. The male protagonist always thinks that he is in control of the whole situation and is full of curiosity about adventure, and the desire to be conquered fills his mind (this is a common problem of most men). In horror movies, the director likes to torture most people who have this kind of thought. In other words, the coming of fear is simply the kind of person who asks for it. The heroine thinks it is better to be careful in everything, she has already blamed herself for losing her son, and feels that more is worse than less. In horror movies, the director likes such people to clean up the mess. This is similar to the martial arts in Jin Yong's era, the first person in the arena is always forced. The difference between Western movies and Hong Kong movies is that they will not only install people who destroy the compact plot just to explain the cause and effect. It is accustomed to using the protagonist's concise words and body language to explain the ins and outs. If you don't understand, please read it repeatedly. The director is not responsible for teaching kindergarten children.
Many directors like to put the scenes of horror films into the night, thinking that the dark night always gives people unknown fear hints, thinking that even if nothing is arranged, just let a person suddenly jump out of the dark night, it is enough to make people stunned. But the days when the audience can be fooled at will have passed, and my thoughts about seeing the dark night have completely become: there must be a lot of crew members nearby, what's terrible. Therefore, the real fear is often not based on the dark night, but at the junction of the dark night and the bright lights, always be on guard, unable to sleep. This is what Pinhole Hostel has done.
The lights outside the motel were dim, but there was no one. In the room where I lived, countless people were tortured to death. The videotape played back those cruel and inhumane processes over and over again. The next person to be devoured may be "I". . When the danger was discovered, the marriage that was about to break up found a reason to reconcile. Seeing this, I suddenly thought, did the director create a horrific event for them to recombine? Or is it to arrange a pair of conflicting couples for the purpose of terror?
Before I could tell, their despair was already on the face. No one wants to be the next target to be hunted, right?
How to escape, if avoid? Although the lights are brightly lit, the mysterious killer seems to appear from anywhere at any time. This dazzling light is more terrifying than the silent night. Exploring, deploying, evading, asking for help...every step brings the result of failure. The most incredible thing is that the perverted killer does not kill you, but wants you to stay in this slaughterhouse and wait for the cat to call the mouse. The game in this section is the climax of the film. The feeling of oppression is like an invisible whip, which can be drawn to you at any time. Your life depends only on whether you are one step faster or one step slower in the conditioned reflex. .
When the actor fell silently, let the heroine as the director had asked him to play. The film began to follow the theorem that when there is a climax, there will be a bottom of the peak, and it is gradually declining. A weak and timid woman, suddenly with divine help, from Zhang Wuji's kindness to Mingjiao's invincible, she won three perverts in one fell swoop. Then he returned to her husband. Of course, his husband, after being stabbed in the chest and thrown at the door like a rag for a whole night, leaned on her chest and woke up like a godly aid. NS.
At this time, the only relief to me is that I don’t believe that the fear is over. How could such a thrilling process come to an abrupt end? I looked around more urgently than the heroine, hoping that something else would appear to soothe my emotions. But when "END" came out, I suddenly felt that the director was very cute. He actually abandoned the popular fear in the United States and went to a separate ending. The protagonist and heroine went through many hardships and reconciled themselves. The family ethics concept turned out to be overwhelmed. It seems that the director’s idea belongs to the first kind of my speculation. He is maintaining traditional virtues, not for creating a suffocating atmosphere. If this purpose is established, then the transition of the film from crisis to escape will appear too impatient, and the sudden transition from fear to ethics makes many people unable to adapt. This is probably the reason why it is not recognized on the Internet. In my opinion, if the fear and the plot are separated, the degree of oppression of fear can indeed be regarded as a rare success in films in recent years, but the transition of the plot, which is more than blunt and lacking in truth, is indeed a failure of this article. It seems that half-hearted fear still has a long way to go to impress the audience.
