I downloaded this film purely because of the plot introduction, but when I saw the title of after dark at the beginning, I almost closed the player for fear of wasting my time. Anyone who knows a little about horror films should know that after dark depends on cows. The film distribution company that broke the propaganda method to promote their bad films, for the 8 bad films released every year by this company under the guise of "films to die for" shamelessly, I have seen the first After the two series "Cemetery Dancers" and "Hamiltons", I ran away when I saw this series. I only watched one "Anatomy" last year, which was said to be ok.
The reason why I can keep watching this film for the first 20 minutes is completely because of the shortage of movies. I have watched all the movies downloaded from the hard disk, and I am too lazy to watch it again, just to keep watching it so as not to waste my time downloading this film. down. Most of the films released by small studio companies like after dark are small productions, with rough props, crude scenes, and young actors. As for the campus thriller series, the ones I have seen are all British, like "The Hole", and there is a fat man who was bullied after he died and turned into a zombie to take revenge. I forgot the name. The former one is Keira Knightley's youthful work, which is wonderful in the story, the latter one is purely slapstick, and the actors' performances are also very mediocre. The one who is bullied and bullied in the story is unique in the design of the ending. In contrast, at the same time, the film of the campus revenge series is obviously not so careful in the script, and the story is very simple. A group of high school students who were always bullied at school conspired to invite the classmates who often bullied them to one of them. After the planned party, they used their own hands to revenge the story, so the whole story focuses on two parts, one is that the protagonist's small group is bullied, and the other part is their revenge. The director has a bit of uneven distribution when dealing with this story. The first part of the small group that was bullied was not very good. According to their revenge actions in the latter part, they should have hated the group that bullied them. This requires at least one cruel and heart-wrenching incident against the bullied group to match the abuse in the second half and the big truths made up by the screenwriter. Since the small group of victims can say so many truths in the later stage, it is obviously They also have to comply with these principles. The description in this part of the film is too brief, failing to highlight the reason for the ruthlessness of the bullied small group, and the treatment of the abuse in the second half is too long, showing the abuse process in too much detail, but it does not The bright spot is a bit like real-time video recording.
Measured by the standards of a qualified film, "Ultimate Confinement" is downright immature, and lacks elaboration from the director to the script. But as far as the viewing experience of the whole film is concerned, the hearty feeling of revenge that this film is going to show is very successful. I believe that every child who is harmless has encountered this kind of silly classmate who likes to bully others when they go to school. When everyone encounters such a person looking for trouble, I am afraid that at that time I can't wait to stab such an idiot with a knife in my heart. The protagonists of this film are a group of high school students who are always bullied. They are the most under-appreciated group of people on campus. Other people's eyes and praise are not destined to them. They can only walk silently in the darkest campus. Staggering in the corner, but it happens that you will encounter the rude provocation and bullying of those arrogant people who are in the limelight. Weak high school student, so it makes perfect sense to plan revenge after the patience is over. I believe that every viewer who watches the film can't wait to scratch their ears when they see the bullying gang.
There are other highlights in "Ultimate Imprisonment" that can be seen that the director still used snacks. For example, the film clearly explained that the members of the revenge group tortured those who bullied them according to the methods learned in horror movies, such as their Dressing up is abusive in a way. The long abuse scene in the second half is the most brilliant part of the whole film, especially the black-haired little girl who cuts the skin very well. She has the beauty of a frosty femme fatale, and she doesn't lose sight of the butcher's costume she wears. In the process, in order to increase the dramatic conflict and complexity, the director designed the scene where the black man escapes to the scene where he is treated as a villain and tied to the house by a veteran. The design is comical and deliberate. Because the black man escaped in the early stage of abuse, if he was designed to go out and find rescue, it would be difficult for the film to expand, and the director's way of dealing with the black man being tied to the house by the veteran, on the one hand, prolonged the revenge of the revenge group On the other hand, this seems to be the director's personal bad taste. I believe that there are not many people here who don't want to teach the bully bastards a lesson, so the director deliberately paused this line to send out, I believe that he and We also want to say hello to these bullying bastards.
In the final analysis, the originality of this film is still good, it is a bit like the high school version of "Human Skin Inn", the green and immature style is very suitable for the atmosphere of film critics, but the film is more of mistakes, some could have been The local directors who made great stories can't take care of it. For example, in the process of abuse, those stupid high school students who are strong outsiders are cowards who only bully the weak, and when they meet people who are stronger than them, they are all scared to shit. , the director's original intention was to mock and satirize this kind of person. During the abuse process, he could have ridiculed and sneered fiercely, and exposed the nature of this kind of person to the end, but the performance of the film is only a light touch, not at all. It shows the shame and ignorance of such a person. In addition, the revenge group has been saying some big truths in the process of abuse, and it is true, but it does not fit well with the film, and the reasoning feels too pale.
Finally, there are some logical questions raised by some people, how many people are in the revenge group, who is behind this incident, and what is the intention of the motorcycle man at the end of the film. If this point is established, the ending design of this film can be looked at with admiration. A lot of people think this movie is terrible, but I think it's still worth watching.
