Chapter 53 Eastern European lingering fear
Horror movies and A-movies have one thing in common, because the plots are similar, and this story is slightly different from another story. They must try their best to give new ideas to the story. Horror film makers have exhausted all kinds of festivals, all kinds of mental illnesses, and concocted all kinds of unforgettable killer looks, in order to make a certain story full of its own characteristics.In the past two years, horror films have developed new trends in production features. They are willing to put the background of the story in a tourist attraction, use the travel process to create the plot, and use exotic colors to distinguish the story.
Brazil was selected for "Nightmare in the Jungle", Australia for "Wolf Creek", "Blackwater" and "Escape to Crocodile Island", Mexico for "Ruins of Terror" and "Frontier", and Honolu for "A Perfect Escape" Lu, the "Snowy Mountain" series set the story in the snow-capped mountains in central Norway, while "Lion's Mouth" set the story at an African safari park, and chose a mountaineering resort in the Balkan Peninsula.Moreover, these films all take authenticity as the primary appeal, not only naming the names of these tourist destinations, but even specifying which mountains and parks they refer to. Number of missing and dead travelers.
The beautiful images of these movie tourist attractions were wiped out in the clamor of murderers and the tearing of wild beasts. No wonder the first thought of the audience after watching the movie is, is there anyone going to these places?Has the local tourism bureau launched a lawsuit against the production company?
Of course, adults can distinguish the difference between movies and reality. We can even regard these movies as a kind of reverse stimulation advertisements. They may also inspire the audience to find out. , everyone thought they would be survivors.But among these travel horror films, there are some that seem so meaningful, and that is the one that uses Eastern Europe as the background.
The stories of "Inn" and "Inn 2" took place in the Czech Republic. In the movie, the small town near Prague became a hell for travelers; the story of "Dead Breath" took place in Hungary, and the vacation became a nightmare.Moreover, just putting the story in one place obviously does not satisfy the producers, so the trains traveling through Eastern European countries take on the important task of connecting the geographical background: the story of "Cross-Siberia" takes place on the train crossing the Siberian continent; In the dialogue of "Night Train", the place names of Romania and Poland pop up from time to time; and the bloody level is not inferior to that of the "Inn" series. At the beginning of "Terror Train", the American athletes who went to Eastern Europe to participate in the competition were at the ticket window Directly reported the destination "Odessa".
Apart from the common area, there are many other similarities. The killers in "Inn" and "Terror Train" both have military backgrounds; the murdered in "Dead Breath" is an employee of an international arms company, and the killer is a retired soldier.As for the protagonists, they all fell into a state of isolation and helplessness. The heroine in "Terror Train", screaming wildly covered in blood, passed through the train full of passengers, but met indifferent eyes, not to mention no one. help her.That is a scene that can often be seen in movies during the Cold War.
Netizen Xiao Susu said it well: "Like any kind of terrorism, I believe that extreme behavior is not born from a specific nation and culture, but born from the situation of this nation and culture." How is the situation in Eastern Europe?These horror films give the answer: approaching with anxiety, looking at with lingering fear.
