Normal, but you can still take a look~

I just watched The Hills Have Eyes, "The Hills Have Eyes".

Compared to the silly Wolf Creek that I watched a few days ago, "There are Eyes Beyond the Mountain" seems to be much stronger. I have to say that the opening part of the film is really clichéd, the gas station in the desert... Here again... I really want to know how the boss of WS lives in the desert, just watch it. Drinks from a freezer, can you survive by drinking coca cola?

First of all, the original film of this film is a movie of the same name in 1977. It is estimated that strange things often happen on the interstate in that era... I think this good screenwriter should come from life... Haha. Generally speaking, although the beginning is clichéd, the rhythm is better, and there is no suspicion of redundancy. not bad.

This movie can still make people nervous. It seems that I haven't felt nervous for a long time. The feeling of watching movies recently is that I watched SAW on the eve of graduation. Alexandre Aja, the Frenchman, definitely advocates violent aesthetics and regards the flaunting of blood as a style, otherwise, how can his thinking be so extreme at a young age! It seems that the old Wes Craven is choosing a successor...

The murderer in the movie is actually a mutant...This one is a bit like Creep, which is a satire of the government's ruthlessness...The shape of the villain is worth mentioning It’s quite post-modern. It’s a kind of nauseating type. It’s similar to our chainsaw killer, but this movie, chainsaw and wax museum are all made by the same people. I find that recently I always pick movies in their circle.

I prefer this kind of movies, not Japanese horror movies. The perverted killer is at least much better than the messy ghosts or the weird ghosts that appear in their sleep (in particular, Uncle Freddy in Elm Street)...

As for the director's performance techniques, it can be said to be more general. It's really old-fashioned, the environment creation method that hasn't changed in almost ten years, and the atmosphere in N movies, the same appears to be for the dead... I won't talk about them one by one. The film also has a strong game color, which reminds me of Silent Hill and the very famous but not beautiful Resident Evil.

I have to mention a scene near the end of Doug...indomitable, very stylish, and immortal...reminds me of Uncle Schwarzenegger in the future warrior. This... it's quite fake.

Finally, I have to say again, how come I saw the big pit again...Wolf Creek also has a huge pit...the United States is so big, can you change the location to shoot it? Does the director's brother work part-time at National Geographic in his spare time?

There are certain shots in this film that are very frustrating. Children with poor psychological quality need to be accompanied by an adult to watch.

    This film is not scary at all, the little girl in red is so cute

    Like this piece. Dust-covered doll models posing in the house the illusion of a normal family, and deformed little girls stealing red hoodies of children in the normal world, are very poignant. The two dogs "Beauty and the Beast". The beauty is dead and the beast is alive. Is it a metaphor? The suicide of the bad old man at the gas station did not explain clearly.
