What if the type of film is single and boring? What if the cost is limited and it is difficult to make a blockbuster? What should I do if the plot is old-fashioned and worried about procrastination?
Then let this film answer it for you.
At the end of World War II, five American soldiers were ordered to guard a big house. They eliminated several German devils along the way. They also met a group of Jews who escaped from the concentration camps (the plot here is a bit unclear).
After switching with the team guarding the big house, the big house is haunted. The haunted and haunted house movies I usually watch are basically all monsters and monsters showing their magical powers, and their strength crushes unarmed and timid people. This time, he met the American soldiers with live ammunition and staged a good show of Guan Gong and Qin Qiong in the haunted house. A carload of German devils who came to get soy sauce in the middle of the haunted house was also wiped out by the powerful mana of the haunted house.
The 4 surviving American soldiers, after several battles with the haunted house, were completely desperate and decided to escape from the haunted house. However, after a few laps, I found that I would return to the haunted house no matter what.
Just when he was completely desperate to doubt his life, one of the soldiers woke up and found himself in a high-tech medical facility, where doctors helped him recall what happened before.
It turned out that these five soldiers were modern American soldiers who carried out a rescue mission in Afghanistan, but the mission failed, and the Afghan family to be rescued was brutally murdered by extremists. The surviving woman of the family was full of resentment against the U.S. military, and was about to die with the U.S. soldiers holding the bomb.
In order to help the five soldiers recover as soon as possible, the US military doctor put their consciousness in a coma into a virtual World War II environment, saying that such a World War II environment can help them speed up their recovery. But for some unknown reason, powerful ghosts appeared in the virtual environment, and it may also be caused by the curse of the Afghan women before they died. The ghosts in the virtual environment wanted to use the mentality of these wounded soldiers to enter reality. When he woke up, the soldier asked the doctor to let him return to the virtual environment to try to solve these ghosts.
The film integrates elements such as the background of World War II, haunted houses, anti-terrorism in Afghanistan, and high-tech medical treatment of source code. The time span also jumps from the European battlefield of World War II to the modern Afghanistan anti-terrorism battlefield. , and the whole film has a compact plot and basically no urine spots, which is very commendable. It is difficult to define the genre of this film with a simple classification: war? Horror thriller? sci-fi?
Some people may think that such a plot structure is absurd, and there are still some bugs, but the overall logic can still make sense. Some of the details in the film are not reduced or filled with fakes because of the large-scale reversal of the plot, such as the US military equipment and combat mode at the end of World War II, the flash scene of evil spirits in the haunted house, the equipment of extremist organizations on the battlefield in Afghanistan, etc. , enough to see the seriousness of the film production team in the details.
Many Hollywood films have achieved deep accomplishments in any single direction of war series, horror thriller series, and sci-fi series. This film attempts to combine various types of plots, and it is also a new way to explore on the shoulders of giants. ideas.
Those who are still far from the real top level in a single direction should not try to imitate this idea. They should eat one bite at a time, learn to walk first and then try to run.
