"Imprisonment": "Demon Experiment" in the Childish Stage

Lupe 2022-05-02 06:01:06

A sexy supermodel, a muscular man, a perverted man in black, a house that can never get out of.
A story about kidnapping, imprisonment and abuse.
Enough to attract the eye, enough to activate
all these elements of adrenaline, what can one think of? Pornography, violence, blood, sexual abuse?
I would like to warn those who have bad thoughts, all your delusions may come to nothing after 85 minutes. ——Aspiring young women. First of all, I must admit that I am the kind of ill-thought that I am admonishing. I expect this film to be largely due to the message conveyed by the poster of this film. A big beautiful woman and a big handsome guy were imprisoned in a house at the same time. People say that loneliness and widows do firewood, passion drama is inevitable, and there is a tyrannical perversion and his exquisite plan in this story. Isn’t pornography combined with violence the best way to pass the boring time and satisfy the desire for prying curiosity? "Bloody Storm" has blown across the entire North American horror film market. I have to say sadly that there are more perversions in movies, and more perversions in real life. Why do human beings always like to peek into the lives of others? When peeking into other people's lives is not satisfying enough, they begin to peek into their deaths, and when they are not even peeping enough, they will directly turn into the death of the same kind by their own hands. In the end, everyone likes to look at fragmented corpses and see how a complete living person is tortured into a pool of blood. This is not to discuss the reasons for this kind of psychology. After all, this question needs to be answered by psychologists. I just want to express that people who make abnormal movies, have you sometimes thought that one day, the audience will be aesthetically tired of bloody violence.







Whether it’s the once classic "Reaper Is Coming" and "Saw Fright" series, or the bloody, violent and perverted movies that have recently become popular from "Human Skin Inn" to "An Eye Behind the Mountain", I just want to say helplessly, since After watching "The Eyes of the Mountain 2", I really felt that the various stumps, intestines, brains, slaughter factories and even just a tool of abuse appeared in all this type of film. Severe aesthetic fatigue. Is it possible to fool the audience forever by relying on these bloody fake props? One day this type of movie can no longer be counted as a horror movie, but because it can be counted as a corpse movie... (If it shows a corpse, it can also be counted as a form). Because the characters in the story are already secondary, a large number of corpses is the main thing.

Coming back to this film, the reason why I want to express the concept of "bloody aesthetic fatigue" is to explain, don't expect that this film will bring you a lot of plasma and corpses. Although the film still follows the old model of the classic American horror film "Space of Despair", the characters, especially the brothers behind the scenes, have very thin character backgrounds, but they are a pair of symbolic perversions, and the beauty is still The sexy beauty is still very pitiful, but the film is at least free from the bloody sugar coating and starts to win by the plot, without a lot of blood and dead people, we can finally pay attention to some clues and clues in the film, we can finally use us His brain thinks about the fate of the characters instead of using our adrenaline.

The Japanese played the "Guinea Pig" series as early as the 1980s. The story of this film reminds me of two short films in the "Guinea Pig" series, "Demon Experiment" and "Flesh and Blood". It is also about the story of a beautiful woman being kidnapped and then tortured to death. The Japanese are obviously going to be more perverted. The details of the torture and the details of the dismemberment are displayed in detail so that it is difficult for any audience who claims to be perverted enough to witness. The abnormal movies made by Americans seem too mainstream and pediatric. In this case, it is better not to do it, and more attention should be paid to telling a good story. Just like this film, leaving aside those perverted elements, the relationship between characters that could have been erotic to the end is lost. Using a supermodel beauty as a gimmick, and a story with tight plot details that are still in place, as a reason to attract the audience to watch, the film is not so vulgar.

The man in the story who has been in love with the supermodel for a long time is the biggest suspense point in the film. In fact, from the time the man led the supermodel to hit the door and the man was taken away by the man in black and brought back unscathed, I began to doubt the man's true identity. It’s a pity that this suspense is not enough. The main problem is that the characters are too thin and symbolic. In the beginning, I used to be a story of a prisoner falling in love with the behind-the-scenes master. If this goes on, maybe There will be more things to watch. The most difficult thing for me to accept is that the two brothers kidnapped these women only to have sex with them, and then tortured and killed them. This kind of idea was really only thought by Lao Mei, stupid enough and naive enough, is this story actually about the extreme behavior of a crazy fan? And those places that should have caught the audience's eyeballs are just a taste of it.

The propaganda said that the film is more focused on feminist feminism, which I cannot agree with after looking at the film. The female male in this film is actually a very typical vase, and has a relatively low IQ. She easily believes in a man and does not have her own opinion. In the end, she finds that the truth can only be said that she is lucky, and successfully escapes and kills the master behind the scenes. These are the self-protection and escape instincts that any person will have. If feminism must be involved, then another film "Hard Candy" also from Lionsgate can be called a model of feminism in horror films.

Regarding the other characters appearing in this film, the idiot detective group, the powerful looking female police chief, and the man’s brother, I can only describe the appearance of this group of people as boring and boring. The appearance of these people is even Destroy the atmosphere created by the entire film.

Although this film is considered to be a more well-behaved kind in the bloody storm, it is rare and invariable, but don't regard this film as a wonderful and perfect horror film. After all, today when horror films are flooded, this film still looks very Childish and thin, just three words "Pediatrics" to put it plainly.
