6 points, compared to the first all-round upgrade, but the degree of completion is not as good as the previous one. I don't know if "Hold Your Breath" is considered a horror movie ip, but I vaguely remember that there were a lot of horror movies with good reputation and their own characteristics in the first two years before and after the first release, such as "After Turning Off the Lights", which was changed from a fragment to a long story. , the sequel "A Quiet Place" just released, etc. Among these works, "Hold Your Breath" is a relatively high degree of completion. The most vivid memory of the city of Detroit is that the city is in ruins and devastated. To say that it is the United States means that even in the war-torn Middle East, people can believe that in the second part, the consistent visual effects and motifs have not changed. When the scene is upgraded, the sense of desolation and apocalypse is strengthened. It can be seen that the director is against it. Thinking of war, at both ends of the Iraq war, the United States and Iraq are both battlefields and ruins, and the United States, the country that started the war, is also the birthplace of evil. With such a layer of discussion, this film can pass.
Let’s start with the shortcomings. The first is the character design. Recalling that the first story is actually a process of changing the protagonist. After the heroine entered the blind veteran’s house, the protagonist became a blind veteran, and in the second part, it was directly for the blind. The veteran has written a book and said it, but for those who have watched the first part, I can directly bring the settings of the blind veteran invincible and endurance, but it also increases the viewing threshold for those who have not seen the previous work. , there is indeed a medal that mentions that the veteran is a SEAL, but there is no previous work to pave the way for this huge obstacle to blindness. It seems to be a brushstroke, and there is no detail to explain his extraordinary sense of smell and hearing, which will make me a person with a high degree of myopia. When a normal person with glasses makes a show, the character from Daredevil is relatively strong, and the lack of ability to explain it also reflects the stereotype of the Navy SEALs in American action shootout movies. "Battle of Tomorrow", I don't know if the special forces in the United States are also famous for the SEALs, and now they are quite aesthetically fatigued. The second action, the title I mentioned is the blind version of the fast chase, in fact, in addition to the story of the dead dog to get a new dog, the protagonist's fighting ability is strong and the protagonist is often incapable of acting, in addition to combat design, martial arts guidance and top Hollywood still have The distance of 900 streets, the most timid thing to me is the scene where the three soldiers were killed by the last three shots and the traitor informed the scene. Although it can show the scene of the blind man flexibly acting on the water, it feels like a major fight. The three-shot solution is too lack of action design and plot connection, and it feels very rushed. The third plot, the core of the IP of "Hold Your Breath" should be that the intruder held his breath to escape the pursuit of the blind killer. In the second part, only the little girl used various spaces in the room to avoid the scene It is very beautiful and can be connected to the first one. At other times, it is action revenge, which loses the sense of horror brought by hiding and searching in the original IP, and there is no sense of horror. In fact, it cannot satisfy the audience who has expectations for this. Viewers who have watched the previous work, first of all, I know that the protagonist will not die, and the daughter is already dead. If the protagonist does not die, it will resolve a lot of suspense points. Second, I have several expectations for the second part: how did the first daughter get killed? He was hit and killed so much that he wanted to ban the murderer, how did the second puppy become the one in the back, how did the third house become like the first one, and what kind of dark past did the fourth blind veteran have. For me, only puppies can meet my expectations, and other issues are still poorly understood. Even the veteran character and the later character have different feelings. They are two parallel timelines. In the end, the image of an atonement old father is completely whitewashed. The film still does not explain the history of the characters, I can feel the director The entanglement of acting: whether to make the third film or not? Some people have said that suspense films focus on time and horror films focus on space. For the first film, the use of space in this sequel to upgrade the scene is far less than the previous film, and the details of the house are not as good as before, which brings terror. The lack of a sense of horror.
Let’s talk about the advantages. In fact, as such an IP, it is difficult to make a sequel. Recalling that the sequel to “Jingcheng No. 81” is worse than worse, and the horror movie is not a big IP. It is indeed difficult to make a sequel, but this prequel is also It has indeed been comprehensively strengthened. From the original single scene to multiple scenes, the number of appearances has also increased. The most fundamental is the upgrade of the type, adding more action scenes, and broadening the vitality of this ip, which is the biggest for me. The advantage is the introduction of values. I just mentioned that the filming of the black city of Detroit is so dilapidated. It is the director's private goods. The other side of the war is the rape and murder of soldiers, while the United States is full of violence, Drugs and organ transplants have a sense of hell in the world, and they are directed at the U.S. government.
Generally speaking, it is a passable violent revenge film. There should be no development in this series. I hope to see the third part, and I want to see the first green tea bitch hunted by the blind man.
