The skin-faced face grows stronger when he grows old, and he persists in the murder post despite his old age!

I often see that many people yell at horror movies, mainly because they are disappointed in the plot, and feel that everything is expected, such as the victim’s idiotic behavior, falling all the way while escaping, the supporting role’s first death design, and perversion. The mad King Kong is not bad, the foreshadowing ending of the resurrection of the bad guys, etc., are called "routines, no new ideas."

Films have been developed for more than a century. With the development of film technology, especially in the past two decades, I think there should be fewer and fewer new films. Even if it is a novel movie, some people will find out which movie it is based on. For example, the opening details of the "The Matrix" of the year were pointed out as borrowing from "Ghost in the Shell"; in recent years, "Inception" was said to be borrowed from "Red Pepper." Therefore, in front of movie fans with strong film reading experience, there are probably very few movies that can be called innovative.

Since it is difficult to create new ideas, the problem that many filmmakers face is how to make the routine story wonderful. There are many wonderful movies with routines, so I think there are many. Just think about the movies that are regarded as classics in the hearts of movie fans. Which ones are not routines? My routine here refers to the expression form and plot content of the movie.

In fact, in some cases, routines should not be derogatory, but the basic principles of movies. Just like our Tang poems, they are routines in terms of specifications. Five-character quatrains are five-characters. Add two more characters to become Seven words. Although poems are made in a fixed mode, the effects produced by different people are very different, and the same is true for movies.

Telling the same type of story, or even the same story (such as those classic classics), the presentation methods of different directors can produce movies with vastly different look and feel. And for many wonderful movies, smart audiences can infer the following developments from the beginning, but they still watch them with relish.

For example, Japanese anime "One Piece" and so on. After shooting so many episodes, basically every fight is for the same reason, and the similar story is similar to our "Journey to the West", but fans who love it will never get tired of it. Enjoy, this is the embodiment of the wonderful use of routines.

Therefore, the routine horror film, I don't think it is a problem, the problem is how to make routine filming well. And this film is obviously not good at making routines.

Take the 2003 version of "The New Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as an example. It basically copied the old story outline. Viewers with experience in the film also know what happens every second, but because of Michael Bay’s Producer, but the movie is still wonderful. The tense rhythm of the plot often makes me hold my breath and share my fate with the fleeing character. This is a wonderful embodiment of routine. From the perspective of modern audiences, I think the quality of the film is of course much better than the old version.

And this "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D", although under the banner of continuation of the old version of the plot, it too caters to the rhythm of the old version of the movie, or it is trying to copy the old version of the accent, and it always gives people a feeling of ineffectiveness. In other words, every time it just broke out, it was immediately discouraged. Compared with the new version in 2003, this film is not magnificent enough, too much of the small-scale farmer consciousness of "one acre and three quarters of land".

Why do you say that? Take the most exciting chase of Pi Lian in this series for comparison. In the 03 version of "New Germany", the several chasing of Pi Lian is definitely the most exciting part of the movie, such as the ringing of the chainsaw from the secret door. When he appeared on the stage, he cut off a foot of a man without mercy, and it was neat and clean. Until the movie's climax part of the hunt for the heroine, from the small broken house to the slaughterhouse, the night of the majestic rain, the despair with nowhere to escape, seeing the wonderful places, it seems that you can smell the stench of blood in the air.

In the old-fashioned chase of the film, the most exciting climax was directly dedicated early in the middle of the film. I have patience to watch them after the laborious family confession meeting, and look forward to another refreshing chase. Killing the bridge, but the movie hastily, and there is a black humor in the last egg that kills adoptive parents. I wonder if this screenwriter is to cater to the old version? Still want to create your own style? But as a person who loves this series, it's just three words, which is not awesome!

So, because of the lack of effort, although I have not invested a dime in the director, I still can’t help picking all kinds of thorns for the director. It can be compared with the new version of the tall, burly and young skin face. It is completely disappointing in the image. Also, every part of the murder scene in this film is too simple and not thrilling enough, so it’s better to follow the heroine part. The other parts are basically "sweeping", there is nothing to watch, and the director is too perfunctory.

The only contribution of this film is to tell the audience that even if Pi Lian is old, she still insists on the "killing post". This "professional spirit" is worthy of praise from corrupt officials.

    Isn't the heroine's previous film pretty good? In this film, everyone is like an idiot. If it weren't for a few bloody scenes, then there's no need to watch it at all.
