Horror movies have a big law, that is, the IQ of the protagonist (team) is extremely low. Whether you are a doctor, a high-achieving student or an expert, as long as you enter a horror movie, you will become an idiot who has no ability to think and cannot express his language at critical moments. There are exceptions. "Hot Nanny" is the villain's various sand sculptures, the protagonist's child's IQ is against the sky, and the adult version of "Home Alone". The whole film finally turned into a comedy, which is similar to "Scream".
The protagonist of "A Midsummer Night's Fright" did not escape the law of stupidity. At the beginning, the group of male college students who had vowed to pick up girls in the sky, but inexplicably came to the paradise full of abstinence everywhere, and no one objected! No one is leaving right away! On the contrary, he seemed to understand the arrangement of his classmates and stayed silently, which made me, who was used to watching "American Pie" type youth films, didn't get used to it for a long time. I always felt that they would soon start looking for girls to hide from the cornfields. Up, and it turned out, well, I was disappointed.
Facts have proved that these people are all cowards. From the beginning to the end, everyone is at the mercy of others, and they can do whatever they want. As long as they encounter illogical plots, they can use "this is the custom of others" to perfunctory. At the end, I began to wonder if it was necessary for these cultists to make such a big move and just bundle it up! A few foolish protagonists saw the old man jumping off a cliff, did nothing but a few words of "sacred shit", kept calling the police to leave, but chose to stay and write the thesis. That's right, it's writing a dissertation. (Surprisingly!)
Insert a paragraph here. Cults have always been a staple in horror movies, and I've always felt that the genre is more powerful and far-reaching than gore. You may feel sick to your stomach after watching "The Chainsaw" for several days, or you may deliberately avoid various table corners and walk carefully after watching "Death Comes" for half a year. But all these will be taken away by time, and after a while of busyness, they will become memories of a certain period of time. Only cult movies will accompany us, such as "Rosemary's Baby", "The Holy Child" and other classics, in some casual occasion (such as being abused by a party, being pressured by a superior, or even an unsolvable math problem) Question), I usually think of a certain plot in the movie when I am over electricity, and then I suddenly realize that what I am going through at this moment is so similar to the movie, I can really feel the panic and despair of the actors at the moment. Psychological books on the dark side of human nature have been selling well in recent years, and that's probably the same reasoning.
But it's clear that A Midsummer Night's Cry didn't get there. The director seems to be about to tell us a different cult movie. There are flowers, beautiful women, high morals, and entertainment to get rid of vulgar tastes. If you want me to say, it is no different from Taohuayuan. Under the director's deliberate beautification, the sacrifice of living people has become understandable. "This is the custom of others", the protagonists have always said so. The old man jumped off the cliff voluntarily, the female believers voluntarily sacrificed themselves, and the classmates who brought the protagonists to death also voluntarily became sacrifices.
There are two parts of the whole movie that made me feel a little uncomfortable. One is that the old man didn't die after jumping off a cliff, but his relatives used a sledgehammer to mend his head. "Hereditary Doom", and found that the director likes to do it very much. The other is that the protagonist and the female believers are having sex in the warehouse, and there are many elderly women surrounding them and moaning. I think the director is deliberately disgusting the audience, the woman under him is so beautiful and the figure is so good, he wants to shoot the old woman with fat and wrinkles to make a fuss, then I wanted to scold people. But on the other hand, isn't this the emotion a horror movie should have, it's just to show you what you don't want to watch. You think I accept this statement? no! I still hate the director's arrangement, I want to see beautiful women!
