To tell the truth, no matter from which aspect, this film is definitely the orthodox sequel to the 78th edition. But why is the polarization so severe?
The main creator of this work has tried his best to reflect on himself and please the audience. Why don't everyone buy it?
Let's talk about the success of this work first.
1. Feelings sell well, no doubt! The tributes and Easter eggs in the movie abound. Many people have already listed them, so I won't be wordy.
2. The soundtrack is well composed, does anyone dare to jump out and say "no"? !
3. The rhythm and atmosphere are well grasped. From the beginning of the deadly duo leading out the heroine to the overturning to the mad hi, it is simple and clear, not sloppy.
4, jump scares, in fact, this is where many people complain. However, in my opinion, audiences who have seen or know about the series are no longer shocked, but rather expect, "Look, Michael will appear right away". Even if you haven't seen it, is there a lot of jump scares in your conscience? Not much, I saw more of Michael appearing in the corner of the background picture, including the gas station, the reflection on the glass on the wall, etc. In the end, the heroine Laurie emerged from the darkness and stabbed Michael. Call it a classic!
Let's talk about the shortcomings of this work.
Someone said: "The protagonist has too many bugs, no brains, no logic"
I said, "Please, this is a sequel from 40 years ago. Everything is set, including the characters and the genre of the film. Could it be overturned and redone?"
That's why some people feel uncomfortable.
Modern horror films are no longer pure bloody and violent action films.
At the same time as the visual impact, everyone hopes to have some brain-moving elements, that is, suspense .
This is the bug of this film, suspense, sorry, no. Why, set.
This film is not a suspense film, it was not before, it is not now, and it will not be in the future.
The brain-burning and reversal that are now admired have made some audiences a habit, even a vice. Meatless!
Wouldn't it be a movie without these? Can't it be a good movie?
At least abroad, it is very popular and popular. Although imdb has dropped to 7 points now, it is still a classic.
What about domestically?
Even the 1978 "Moonlight Panic" was only 6.5 points.
This makes me wonder, are we missing something in these 40 years?
Is it so easy in this era, is it so difficult to simply enjoy a movie?
In addition to following the trend and being brainless, do we really have our own thinking?
Are we really watching a movie?
No! This is already a stage where everyone competes to perform, exaggerate, find a sense of presence, be a keyboard warrior, and brush traffic.
No! Actually...we are just the audience.
