Chapter 263 Chainsaw Horror
Chapter 263: Chainsaw
Time quietly entered the end of October. "Dance of My Life" failed to win the North American weekly box office championship from October 24 to 30. It ranked second with 21.94 million, with a total box office of more than 58.52 million. The newly released spoof comedy "Sharp Scream 3" ranked first with 50.52 million. It continues to spoof the American version of "Midnight Bell", "The Matrix 2", "The Lord of the Rings", and "Harry Potter" series.
Among the young people, I and the movies are very popular. Fantasy Yang has not escaped the spoof. Last year's two "magic works" "The Ninth District" and "The Hangover" have become screen materials, which really makes movie fans laugh.
A new weekend comes with it. On the eve of Halloween on the last day of October, the 31st, the last day of October, it is full of a atmosphere of being funny or looking for excitement. There is only one new movie released in the lively cinema, which is the flame r-level horror film "Saw" that lands in 2,467 theaters.
The production cost of this horror film was only 3 million US dollars, and it took only one and a half months from preparation to completion in September last year. The 26-year-old Malaysian Chinese director James Wen's screen masterpiece, as well as the same nameless producer, screenwriter and starring Ray Wernal.
This is a typical low-cost B-level film. Film companies often "take a chance" in them, and the investment in publicity costs will not be much, so even if they lose money, they will not lose much. However, it is obvious that Fire's confidence in "saw" is the highest level. Not only did it announce the sequel plan before it was released, but it also did not careless in publicity.

Although I haven't spent much money for more than a year, "Saw" has become very famous among the horror movie fans, and it can definitely be called their "long-awaited" work. Many people have brought together the newly remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" a few days ago, chainsaw vs chainsaw. What's so special about this chainsaw? Is the "Horror Master" Shen Qiyang lies? On this day, countless horror movies have gone to the theater to seek fright.
"The sun shines on your butt, Adam. Maybe you want to know where this is? I tell you, this is where you are likely to be sleeping here forever." "Doctor Gao, your daily job is to tell the patients, 'I'm sorry, I've tried my best', while watching them suffer indifferently, watching them die, and then watching their families suffer in pain. Today you are going to become the god of death. The goal of this game is to kill Adam before 6 o'clock!"... "I want to play a game." "Is life and death in your hands!"...
The large screening room was full, and the movie fans were filled with the first scene. Looking at the blood-breaking limbs on the screen and listening to the twisted screams, the hall was silent, with only a few long breaths. Almost every audience could faintly hear the thumping heartbeat that was getting heavier.
"Oh my god, it's so perverted..." Many women in the couple audience frowned and grinned, and hugged their boyfriend's arm uncomfortable, making many men who pretended to be "I'm not afraid at all, this feels good" secretly exclaimed: "So I like horror movies! Look at how manly I am now! Shenqiyang did not introduce it wrong, but I was a little disgusted..."
"Ahhh...ahhh!!ahhh-" A series of extremely miserable crying, the flesh and blood on the screen, Evelyn only felt a tumbling in her stomach and her scalp seemed to be tall. She was not as scared as "Ghost Records" and felt like she was so scared that she fainted and twitched, but she wanted to vomit! A young male audience next to her accidentally noticed her abnormality and immediately said softly with fear: "How are you okay? Don't vomit here, don't!"
Has this beauty watched horror movies? If she watched Peter Jackson's early years of "The Corpse Playing Through the World" and the Japanese Guinea Pig Series "The Sewer Mermaid", wouldn't she be spitting to death?
Just as he was thinking, Evelyn could no longer hold it back, covered her mouth and stood up and quickly left her seat. The screams were useless to close her eyes and could not watch it! She endured her strong vomiting and wanted to come outside the screening hall. She breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that she was allergic to horror movies, so she shouldn't have watched it!
"It's very good here, James, wow! This shot is shocking."
The Selangor Theater is in the premiere of "Saw", and the audience seats are as full as ever. Wang Yang in the front row frowned and praised Wan Ziren, who was also dressed in formal clothes next to him. This is his first time watching the new version of "Saw", because he doesn't like watching horror movies and knows that "Saw" doesn't need to worry about it. In comparison, the details of the new version are more patient, the prop scenes are more "luxury" and more realistic, and the actors' performances are also better.
For an equally serious producer and director, higher production costs and more time can indeed bring better everything, and the creative intention is fully expressed. What choice will human nature make when facing the trapped beast fight that either you die or I die?
Originally, this kind of low-cost horror film that has not proved itself generally does not spend money to hold a premiere. The flame movie, which has been designated as one of the company's ace series, is naturally arranged. Wang Yang has a certain meaning of "frequent show" and continues to bring his fiancée Jessica to support "saw". Jessica is not afraid of those broken limbs screaming, but she frowned from time to time and said, "It's so scary."
Compared to the bloody and disgusting plasma meat grinder horror film, she is more afraid of psychological horror films and is more interested in it. She always thinks she is suitable for starring in it.
"Oh my grandma, maybe I shouldn't have come, I can't stand it..." Although I've tried both psychological horror and flesh-and-blood thriller, if I hadn't entered the state of concentration and madness during production, Wang Yang was really afraid of watching both. He even doubted whether he had blood dysfunction. Of course, there was no such thing. He had tried to beat many people up and bleeding. He held Jessica's hand and calmed down, and asked Wen Ziren next to him and said, "James, Fire is preparing to make "saw" into a series of at least 10 episodes."
"10 movies?" Wan Ziren was very surprised. He knew that Fire wanted to make "saw" into a series, but he didn't expect that Shen Qiyang would have 10 movies as soon as he opened his mouth. Ray Wernal on the seat next to him was also a little shocked, and he said with a oh-oh: "10 movies? It sounds a bit scary." Wang Yang smiled and nodded with a "of course": "Yes! Every year, one movie is released here on Halloween."
"Saw" turns out to be like this in Lionsgate, with a large number of die-hard fans of Saw all over the world. I just don't know if it was Jon Filtimel's idea or Wan Ziren and the others were unwilling to do so. The director microphone of "Saw 2, 3, 4" was handed over to Darren Lynn Bowsman, and Wan Ziren and Ray Wernal only served as producer and screenwriter (Wen Ziren did not participate in the screenwriter of 2, 4; Wernal did not participate in the screenwriter of 4).
The fifth, sixth and seventh are all directors, Ray Wernal completely withdrew from the screenwriter team, and only Wan Ziren is a co-producer from time to time. Of course, a director and a producer are not willing to be bound to a series. No matter how enthusiastic he has, he can't shoot ten movies. Even if he shoots it again, it will be difficult to break through his own style, so it is often trilogy.
"James, do you want to continue directing? And Lei, do you want to continue writing and producing? Let's talk about a complete trilogy first." Wang Yang looked at the two of them and asked seriously. Wen Ziren and Wernal looked at each other excitedly. Wang Yang smiled and said, "It's just an intention now. Please find out what you mean. You can't talk about specific things in the cinema, right? So how about it?"
Wan Ziren smiled and said, "Why not?" Wernard also smiled and said, "Why not?" At this time, a pig-killing scream sounded again in the screening hall, and the audience couldn't help but make a buzzing soft cry, unexpectedly! However, a large number of the film critics frowned and looked dissatisfied. Here, Wan Ziren continued, "I want to try a psychological horror movie, but "saw" is also very good. I can shoot a few more movies in this murder game."
"Okay!" Wang Yang laughed a few times, then you can see different "saw2, 3". He raised his elbow and touched Wan Ziren's arm, and said with a smile: "Let's do something fun, scare these people!" Jessica, who had been paying attention to him, shrugged slightly, first of all, scaring yourself.
"Congratulations, you are still alive. Most people are not grateful for living, but you won't, never again." "Yes, I am sick, the disease is swallowing my body, but it makes my brain clearer, and I know what I am doing! I hate those who do not cherish themselves, those who disdain for the pain of others, and I hate all this!"...
Amid the audience's surprise and praise, the cast of the big screen rolled, and then a thunderous applause rang out. The appearance of "Saw" on this eve of Halloween undoubtedly brought a big surprise to horror movie fans. Shen Qiyang was indeed not wrong! This is a very interesting and shocking bloody horror movie in recent years! All kinds of perverted killing methods and pictures are very exciting.
Its weekend box office and first week box office are still unclear. Of course, no one thinks it will lose money now. It is another familiar scene. It happened just once two weeks ago: "Flame movies made money!" and it must be the type that makes a big profit, because "sawwww.piaotian.comdb scored 8.0 points, and the audience liked Rotten Tomatoes is also as high as 90%.
"This is one of the most classic horror movies I've seen, with an incredible thrill, ups and downs, unexpectedly, and it's one of the best horror settings I've ever seen! My hands are sweaty and I can honestly say I love it."
The user extractor who scored five stars commented like this; thedudelebowww.piaotian.comder-www.piaotian.combowler exclaimed: "woooo! This movie scares me as if I am in hell, saw is a crazy movie with psychological twists."...
Almost all the comments of the blockbusters are all about "psychological distortion" and "pathological", but not many people know that this movie is filled with the pain of Wen Ziren's childhood loss of his father, and Ray Werner was confused by inexplicable headaches. They turned all grievances, dissatisfaction with people who do not cherish their bodies, and fear of "life and death are alive" into the role of "old man". They are the god of death, love life but are pathological.
But "saw" and "Dances My Life" have touched many ordinary audiences, but not many critics. Its two Rotten Tomatoes reviews are only 55% and 40% fresh (48% and 31% of the original version), and have been labeled as rotten. This has set a new record for Flame Movies. The second consecutive large-scale review review is "rotten work". In the four years since its establishment, it has only 2 rotten works of films released on more than 2,000 screens.
So whether it is "saw" or "fire", many media and film critics seem very disappointed.
"Saw has a room of artistic ambitions, but it is nothing. It is just a pitiful murder movie. I despise this movie, the company that released it." - Richard Roper, who once commented on "Ice Age" "can warm your heart", "The Ninth District" "shamed Hollywood", "ebert & Roeper", "something horrible, joyful disgusting, and... no." - Roger Albert, The Chicago Sun; "It can only show that James Wyn is a crazy man; the flames prepared such a movie for us on Halloween, which can only show that the competition for the movie is too cruel." - Stephen Horton, The New York Times; "It takes a unique approach, but it is still a movie full of loopholes." - Leah McLaren, The Globe and Mail...
Lisa Rose, who gave "Dance Out My Life" rotten Lisa Rose (Newark Star Chronicle) this time gave "saw" fresh, she commented: "I saw a clever ending, and these five minutes of inspiration have enough power to make up for the mediocrity of the previous hour, and it redeems "saw". "Cara Meyer of the San Francisco Chronicle also gave "saw": "Some moments are very scary, most of the time are creepy, it is a clever horror movie." ...
Is it good-looking or not good-looking, rotten or fresh? The answers to these questions are in everyone's mind.
The poor reputation of mainstream film reviews naturally made Wan Ziren and Ray Wernal a little disappointed. No one was praised for the top spot if they didn't want to be released, but the facts were not changed. 90% of the audience's liking is also worthy of comfort, right? This does not affect them to have a happy Halloween and celebrate their current achievements; nor does it affect Wang Yang and his friends enjoy a Halloween party happily.
