At the beginning, I thought this was a film of old wine in a new bottle: a red man and a green woman were together, and then they were horrified by the dehumanizing murderer. . . The ghost cries and howls, and finally the innocent heroine, the ghost, escapes to the sky, and the murderer who originally thought that he has gone to the west is not dead, but still accumulates power in secret. . .
This film is basically the same, but compared to traditional murderous films, a lot of things have been added.
1. The heroine is black or LES. This is a bit of the correct meaning of the recent popular dog blood in beautiful countries. The problem is that this ulterior motive setting has no impact on the plot of the film. Taking this so-called "correct" setting completely will not have any impact on the ending, progress, or process of the film, and maybe one or two people will die. . .
2. There are five people who escaped from birth last, and three of them are blacks. . . This kind of data is simply unimaginable in the murderous movies of the 70s and 80s. For the time being, it's a kind of "progress" in the film.
3. There are N murderers. This is the part I am more satisfied with. Although the number of homicides has increased, the style of American homicides is still very obvious. The music of hot girls every time they play will successfully make me get goose bumps, and Thomas (against Jason), wretched men (against Freddy), and hot girls (against vampires) are also considered to be Paid some kind of tribute to these great murderers
4. A story in a traditional murder movie is divided into three sections in this film, each of which forms a separate chapter. In the end, more than five hours of a huge production was formed. This is the most obvious part of the film.
The quantity is added, but the quality is not. This led to the feeling that when I watched this film, this is a general commercial film, or a commercial film that contains a lot of private goods.
Let’s go back to the golden age of homicide movies in the last century. Let’s take a look at what the homicides are, and re-examine this type of film from this perspective.
The classic murderers of the last century did not reflect certain social phenomena, and also expressed the mental state of the youth at the special growth stage at that time: for example, Jason, the phenomenon reflected by him is the unrestrained, uncontrolled carnival and indulgence of young people. And alcoholism (most young people on Friday were killed in extreme excitement); for example, Freddy, what reflects the estrangement between adults and young people, no matter what you say, I am Parents just don’t believe, or even pay attention, so young people will be very depressed and helpless, and eventually fall into the trap of society; another example is the clown, who always stings in the fear field of young people, and These areas of fear are closely related to the experience of each child’s growth process
In other words, these murderers like nightmares actually reflect the deficiencies and defects in the growth of certain teenagers. Because of this defect, they will be afraid and will have psychological shadows, so they will also find this character very scary and very impressive.
But the murderers in this film, on the one hand, he was not born naturally (but formed by the curse of the devil), on the other hand, these murderers themselves are normal people, only because of the curse of the devil. Sudden mutation, eventually killing. The characteristics of these two aspects determine that although these murderers seem to be very strong, they do not have any particularly rich metaphors of social reality connotation.
Without these backgrounds, the practical significance of these societies, the murderer itself, is just like a monster.
Even the BOSS in this film does not have such a social metaphor. He is just an careerist who harms the residents of a town for his own selfish desires. However, I personally feel that it is not easy enough for such a witchcraft to last for such a long time. It can be seen how urgent it is to build a spiritual civilization
In addition, at the specific technical level, this film also has many problems. The main problems are concentrated on the timeline, and some time flows have very strange logic. Here a murderer has caught and completely controlled the victim, and the next murderer is still groping for the position of the knife. In the second season, the heroine was also ambushed by murderous madness. The heroine's sister died, but the heroine was not dead? Don't your murderers make up for it? There is also a nasty-looking murderer who stabbed the heroine a few times, but didn’t stabbed to death. This is also strangely powerful to me.
The most unbearable thing is that the little black fat man in the play has just experienced the torture and murder of his prospective girlfriend, and then he spends a lot of time with his sister. He completely forgot about his prospective girlfriend. The white brother is for their brother and sister. Both died. . . This kind of ruthlessness is enough
If you can completely ignore these social metaphors and other profound things, this kind of freewheeling is similar to a plot bug. This movie is actually worth watching: the plot is smooth without any sloppy nonsense. The killer's personality is very wonderful, and the reverse is very unexpected. The heroine's feelings for his girlfriend are very steadfast and touching. . .
And my favorite is actually the kind of inexplicable mysticism and the conspiracy theory of dark human nature.
However, it is only limited to being able to see this level. The second part is slightly better
