Fear needs to be vented, but when you are terrified to the extreme, but you can't scream, what kind of feeling is that?
"Silent Testimony" is such a movie. The heroine has a natural physical defect and speaks in a foreign country. Unreasonable, but witnessed a murder case, thus getting involved in the mafia conspiracy whirlpool...
As a thriller horror film, "Silent Testimony" was a small and large, low-cost exchange for high-yield , definitely has his inevitability.
The first is his storytelling. At the moment when the themes of bloody violence, religion, pseudo-documentary, neurosis, perverted zombies, etc. are all about to be shot, when you watch "Silent Testimony", you will admire the whole film with the least blood and screams, purely relying on The script holds up the whole skeleton. Similar to "The Storm" and "Razor's Edge", the plot is thrilling and twists, and the suspense is repeated. It is a film that pays tribute to the master of Hitchcock.
Then there is the successful role setting of the tour guide. The heroine, Billie, is a hearing-impaired and disabled woman. She is definitely not an incompetent woman with big breasts and no brains in ordinary horror movies, but she is also not the invincible Sigourney Weaver in "Alien". In fact, Billie is very thin. This weak woman is absolutely vulnerable in the process of being hunted down, but she used her wit and courage to help her escape the clutches of death once.
In addition, several supporting roles are absolutely eye-catching, Billie's sister and her husband's gags are mediocre, and the double agents are both good and evil. shy.
Secondly, I have to mention a few wonderful scenes in the movie. First, when Billie was trapped on set to witness the murder, the 30-minute chase was like a cat chasing a mouse. You will be worried about every danger. The most creepy thing is that long corridor, when a rib-like white light tube makes people nowhere to escape, behind it is a white bayonet, the boundary between life and death is so close, you will I feel that this promenade is like a post-modern work, elongated and curved, as if there is no end.
The second scene is the scene of the bathtub dripping. Billie fell asleep in the bath. Only the sound of dripping water and the wind from the broken window was left in the huge bathroom. The nightmare of murder draped over you like a coat... This scene is also a good preparation for the next break.
Then there are some funny and satirical horror movies everywhere in the movie, whether it's the heroine destroying the entire shooting scene when the horror movie is shot at the beginning, or Billie's sister's sudden fighting power at the end of the movie. These scenes seem to be all "Silent Testimony" conveying a sentence: You guys will use plasma to make movies. Compared with me, it is a weak joke~~ I
remember that in a film and television appreciation class at a university, the tutor was in There was a saying in the screening of "Rear Window": Horror is not seen with the eyes, but is definitely born in the heart. It explains my feelings about "Silent Testimony" very well.
