Xu Yuan held his breath together with Zhou Wenliang. The scene in front of him was accompanied by weird background music and the sound of sobbing from under the bed. The theater was so spacious that at some point Xu Yuan felt that The whimpering came from under his seat.
He looked around him, it was still an empty theater, and there was no one around, Jiang Ying on the screen did not do anything to Zhou Wenliang, but asked him with a smile why he was not asleep.
It's just that the smile is too weird, who can sleep like this
It can be seen that Zhou Wenliang also noticed Jiang Ying's abnormality, but he remained calm in front of Jiang Ying, looking like an ordinary son. The daily routine in the following plot is no different from the previous one, but The shots that I thought were normal before, no matter how I look at them now, or when I think about them, I feel chills down my back.
Xu Yuan had to take back what he just said, "Escape" is indeed a horror film, but its horror is not to scare the audience with bloody scenes or hideous ghosts, but to shock the audience with the little things and details in life. Break down your inner defenses, the ticking of the faucet in the bathroom, the sound of sharpening knives in the kitchen, and dark cooking where you can't see what the raw materials are, etc.
These trivial things that are common in real life are endowed with different meanings in the movie. Xu Yuan only felt his scalp tingle. Both sisters and sons are scary.
Halfway through the movie, Jiang Ying commits suicide, and Zhou Wenliang finally returns to the normal timeline from that original home, but the horror has not weakened at all, but is stronger than before. Xu Yuan feels that he is following Zhou Wenliang in the long Running in the corridor, after a thrilling escape, they successfully reunited with Zeng Xingke.
Only this time, in Zeng Xingke's eyes, he couldn't see Zhou Wenliang at all. All he saw was the descending elevator. With a beep, the doors of the elevator opened to both sides, and a couple stood in the middle of the elevator. The twin girls in black dresses stared straight at Zeng Xingke.
Zeng Xingke fell to his knees all of a sudden, countless fragments of memories flashed in his mind, and finally he walked into that elevator willingly, and accompanied the little girl to go down with the elevator.
Xu Yuan felt that his eye sockets were a little wet. He had already cried a lot when Jiang Ying died just now. Why the hell does a horror movie have such sensational things!
The rest of the movie is considered to be the point. Zhou Wenliang started his own escape route. It seems that there are dangers lurking in every place in the corridors, bathrooms, and basements. The sense of horror here is similar to that of ordinary horror movies. Xu Yuan accepted it.
However, just when Xu Yuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the camera on the screen suddenly switched and turned into a depression angle, and the distance was getting farther and farther away. The surrounding walls seemed to be moving with the change of light and shadow. Xu Yuan He even had a feeling that he was being watched by the monster. Just thinking about it, he felt his scalp go numb, and he turned his head involuntarily, but only saw the red light spot on the monitor flickering.
This long shot has no background sound effects at all, and there is no one else in the theater, so at this time Xu Yuan suffered much more fear than other audiences, and he even had an urge to escape from the theater .
How great it would be if this movie was broadcast on the web, at least he could resist this fear on the barrage with the wealthy netizens.
The film has entered the late stage, and the horror atmosphere seems to have dissipated a little bit. Xu Yuan collapsed on the chair with a sigh of relief. However, he didn't relax for a long time, and saw the ghost bride played by Gao Tian slowing down towards him from a distance. Come slowly.
Finally Xu Yuan couldn't bear it any longer and covered his eyes, shrunk himself into a small ball on the chair, looking innocent, weak and pitiful.
It wasn't until Gao Tian's scenes were all over that Xu Yuan opened his eyes again. The movie was finally coming to an end, and Ma Yuan, whom Xu Yuan was looking forward to so much, finally appeared. Considering that there are quite a few rivalry scenes with Zhou Wenliang, as the only human villain in the movie, Ma Yuan’s performance is impeccable, and the fight scene with Zhou Wenliang is also very exciting. When Ma Yuan jumped off the bow, facing Zhou Wenliang said: "You will never get out."
Zhou Wenliang ignored Ma Yuan's words, turned around and walked into the cruise ship, he had already found a way to leave here, as long as he found the real door, he could return to his real world.
The ending is naturally happy for everyone, Zhou Wenliang returned to the normal world, and returned to the house where there was no mother.
I can't tell what I feel in my heart, the ending is obviously good, but Xu Yuan's heart is still a little uncomfortable.
At the end of the film, Xu Yuan took a deep breath and stood up from his seat, but he never expected that there would be easter eggs in this horror movie. When the screen turned on normally again, Xu Yuan saw Jiang Yingdi standing stiffly in the lower right corner of the screen, looking at him, tilting his head at him, grinning, and then stretching out his hand, as if to crawl out of the screen The appearance of rising.
Xu Yuan was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. He didn't realize that it was just an easter egg until all the lights in the theater were turned on.
When Xu Yuan came out of the theater in a trance, the little girl went over to him and asked him very familiarly: "What do you think of this movie? Is it scary?"
Hearing the sound, Xu Yuan turned his head to look at the little girl, his eyes were dull, and he shook his head.
"Isn't it scary?" the little girl asked him.
Xu Yuan chuckled.
For the same question, many netizens asked questions on Weibo and forums. They dare not go into the theater to watch it, and can only rely on the spoilers of the netizens to feel the horror atmosphere of this movie.
Although the Ghost Festival is not suitable for this activity, there are still many thrill-seeking young people walking into the theater.
After all, there is an old saying that is good, if you want to pursue excitement, then follow through to the end.
Netizens who have watched the movie also responded enthusiastically to these friends, but it is difficult to tell what kind of thoughts these netizens are holding.
"It's not scary, I feel very warm. When I saw the hero and my mother hugging each other, my tears flowed down my face. It's a pity that my mother died in the end. I'm so sad."
"Tell me upstairs, why are you crying? If you don't make it clear, mother will go to you at night"
"It's not a question of scaring or not, it's really... the kind, the rare kind..."
"The movie is really not scary, yes, it's not scary at all. I've been home and the lights have never been turned off. When I turn off the lights, I feel like my mother is standing on my bed and watching me silently."
"I think this movie should really be watched by elementary school students to ensure that they will never dare to lie under the covers and play with their mobile phones late at night."
"The hero and the villain are real! It's real!"
…
Friends who haven’t seen the movie are very confused. What kind of movie is this? Why do some people say family affection, some say love, and some say it’s a relationship between humans and ghosts
What the hell!
It wasn't until a long review about "Escape" came out that everyone had a general understanding of the film.
The title of the long comment is very long, it is called: What is the sin of the hero? Let her die, or let her live? (Contains spoilers, be careful)
The crime of Wu Yan, the president played by Zeng Xingke, is that he failed to take good care of his young daughter and caused her to fall from a tall building, while Chen Dongnian, played by Zhou Wenliang, watched his mother die in front of his eyes.
The cruise ship that Chen Dongnian boarded is divided into three floors. From the time he opened the door of the guest room for the first time, he has already entered this endless nightmare. The bottom of the cruise ship is the past, and the middle is the present (and is not the real present), but the top is called the abyss. The mother that the male protagonist saw when he went back to the past has actually been polluted by monsters in the abyss.
He went through countless struggles, all of which ended in failure. In the end, the mother guessed all the truth, and she wanted to use her life to send her son to the second dimension.
In order for Chen Dongnian to return to reality, he had to watch his mother die in front of his own eyes. The pain in his heart can be imagined. It was hard for him to see his mother again, but at this moment he was about to lose her again.
At the same time, another question arises. In the real world, why did the hero’s mother die? I replayed this film three times, from sleeping pill bottles, kitchen knives, and the sound of water suddenly stopped in the bathroom. , it can be deduced that Chen Dongnian's mother also committed suicide, and he witnessed the whole process in the bathroom at that time, but did not stop it.
For the mother who suffers from depression and has been pointed out, suicide is a relief, but for the young Chen Dongnian, it is a sin he will always bear.
There are no bloody scenes in this movie from the beginning to the end, and there are no particularly scary ghosts (the ghost bride played by Gao Tian is quite good-looking), but there is a huge fear hidden in many details, and some scenes of Director Fu The shooting is really amazing, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a genius director.
In addition, I don't know if it's my illusion. I think Director Fu's portrayal of family affection is always very heavy. It can be seen that the influence of Mr. Fu on him back then has not been eliminated.
…
Netizens fell into deep doubt after reading this long comment. Is "Escape" really a horror movie? No matter how you look at it, this comment is more like a brain-burning reasoning film.
Everyone is terrified of horror films, but still loves mystery films. From "White Castle", it can be seen that Fu Zhen should be very good at this type of film.
The box office on the first day of "Escape" was not ideal, only 5 million. Compared with the investment of 15 million, this is quite good, but its Douban score is extremely high. Praise, so this has attracted many netizens who don't like horror movies to get excited.
Look, I am timid, what if I make a fool of myself in the theater? Don’t watch it, it’s really itchy to read other people’s movie reviews, and many people said that this movie is actually not that scary, so their minds became active. After careful consideration, they organized a city group to watch "Escape" , Going to see it alone is scary, but a group of people can't be afraid.
Also, the anchor had an idea, simply hid in the corner of the theater, secretly filmed the various reactions of the audience when watching the high-energy moment of escape, and then mosaiced the visible faces and posted them on the Internet. The effect was quite good , In just two or three days, the number of followers has increased by tens of thousands.
