Chapter 280

In the third week of October, 2010, "smart: ghost 2" made a strong debut, locking in the upcoming Thanksgiving and Halloween schedules, looking forward to the continuation of the glory of the previous work; At the same time, four independent works of art, including "buried alive", have been screened in art theaters one after another. The market, which has been silent since the summer holiday, is finally showing signs of recovery due to the arrival of the year-end holiday.

But beyond everyone's expectation, in the fight at midnight, it was "buried alive" to seize the opportunity!

Due to the particularity of the midnight scene, only a certain group of fans will rush to the cinema to watch it at the first time. "Smart: ghost 2", as a horror film, has accumulated excellent reputation before, and many audiences have expressed great expectations for the sequel. However, they go out to watch the film at midnight, and then go home in the middle of the night, This is definitely a daring act, only a small part of the audience will do so.

Therefore, the midnight performance of "smart: ghost 2" can only be described as mediocre.

In contrast, the "live burial" held in 11 cinemas has successfully ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. According to incomplete statistics, the tickets of three cinemas have sold out, and the average attendance rate of 11 cinemas has reached 60%.

fantastic! Absolutely incredible! It's true for any movie! What's more, without the appeal of the director, the appeal of the top actors, or even any publicity, the film can achieve such results, which is even more astonishing!

From the box office revenue at midnight to the popularity of real-time online discussion, "buried alive" is ahead of the release of "smart: Ghost record 2" in an all-round way! Further "buried alive" this work on the cusp of the storm!

"The group of" speed and passion 5 "watched" buried alive "and was full of praise!"

"Lanli hall is surprised to show up and interact with fans after watching the film."

"It's hard to get a ticket at midnight," he said

"Van diesel: it's an excellent film, waiting for more audiences to find its charm."

"Paul Walker: This is my favorite movie of the year, no doubt."

"Photo wall, Facebook, Yahoo community," burying alive "has completely captured social networks. It's hot!"

"The biggest surprise of 2010!" Burying alive 'staged a dark horse counter attack, a strong debut award season

……

For two days on Friday and Saturday, the news about "burying alive" was endless. It seemed that there was no end to the news about the work. Even in the latest official report of "speed and passion 5" about moving to Rio de Janeiro, the information about "burying alive" was also mentioned, although it was just a slip of the tongue, But the effect of communication is not small.

Although, with the advance of time, "smart: ghost 2" gradually regains the initiative in its hands. After all, it is the full release of more than 3000 cinemas, and the audience flow is naturally not of the same class. When only one new film is released this week, there is no competitor at all.

However, the news of "burying alive" has not been completely drowned, and it is still inexorably mixed in. Even because of the type of thriller and suspense, it is compared with "smart: ghost 2" by many media who like to watch the excitement. They think that these two works of the same type are likely to usher in more fierce competition in the next Halloween.

Unconsciously, even "smart: Ghost record 2" has become the propaganda media of "buried alive", which makes people laugh and cry.

In the vigorous propaganda war, film critics came out one after another to join in the fun and add firewood.

Although "buried alive" has received a lot of praise at the Toronto Film Festival, even though there are some criticisms, it still can't stop the win-win reputation of the film among critics and audiences; But Toronto is just Toronto. Compared with the land famous for its friendliness and politeness, people are more concerned about the media review in North America.

Karina Longworth of "America today" gave a high rating of 91 points: "unexpected turns, ups and downs of drama, no pee point rhythm, terrified atmosphere... All the expectations of the audience for a thriller suspense film can be found in the film" buried alive ". Of course, there's a surprise: Randy hall

Rene Rodriguez's comments in the Chicago Tribune were not stingy of his praise. "The thriller, excitement, suspense and chilly that this work offers make all other thrillers this year look like inferior plastic products; And the wonderful performance of Langley hall makes his peers look like children playing with mud on the beach. " Eighty eight points is too rare for a thriller movie.

"The success of this film is not only because it creates enough drama in the narrow limited space, but also because the director's accurate grasp of the atmosphere and light creates a terrible nightmare. What's more, hall has contributed one of the top ten performances of this year." This is a comment from Bill goodykoontz in the New York Post, who also gave an 88 point affirmation.

Rick Moore, of the San Francisco Chronicle, scored 80 points and commented succinctly, "just when you thought he had no way to escape, he attacked again and took your breath away!"

"What's interesting is that we usually go to the cinema for enjoyment, but the director Rodrigo Cortez concocted a terrible, thrilling, frightening and frightening film, which made every audience who entered the cinema suffer from a torture and risk their lives. This may not be a journey to enjoy, but there is no doubt that it is a magical and wonderful film journey. What's more, Langley hall has given a wonderful performance. He is the kind of actor who "performs better than movies" and is really enjoyable

This is a film review published by Shawn levy in Empire magazine. He gave a high score of 90 points and gave the film enough praise from a different perspective.

Praise, praise, or praise, the unanimous praise of the authoritative mainstream media and Toronto, once again let people clearly feel the unstoppable of this thriller film; However, this time the first batch of comments also ushered in discordant different opinions, in addition to criticism, but also neutral.

Although Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post gave her praise, her score was only 70 points. In the comments, she said, "a well-made and perfectly executed thriller is undoubtedly a blockbuster debut for Langley hall. Is this a pleasant 90 minutes? No, but for genre films, it's a chilling success. But now, I'm ready to leave

It can be seen from the humor in the words that she doesn't like thrillers very much. Even though she praises them, her score is still not high. That's probably why.

Amy Nicholson scored 65 points: "you have to remind yourself all the time, breathe."

This is a comment published in the "time" weekly. There is no doubt about its authority. At the same time, we can see the overall mentality of the mainstream media——

They are always more strict with horror films. In the long history of Oscar, only four horror films have won the best picture nomination, while the last horror film which was shortlisted for the Oscar was the "sixth sense of supernatural" 11 years ago. Even the "flash" of Stanley Kubrick, the media comprehensive evaluation only got 61 points.

Now, it's the same with buried alive. Critics from the Washington Post and time have given positive feedback, but the score is not high. Obviously, they are all looking forward to more things, at least not "startled" fear and fear.

Naturally, negative criticism is inevitable in any horror film, and "buried alive" is no exception.

"Variety" magazine and "Hollywood Reporter" are the most important professional magazines in Hollywood. Their opinions are undoubtedly crucial. In the Toronto Film Festival before, "Hollywood Reporter" gave praise to "bury alive". However, "variety" held a completely different attitude.

"In this cheap and crude film, when the hero Paul is in a desperate situation, a poisonous snake rushes into the pine trunk that trapped him, which undoubtedly pushes the bad plot and bloody drama of the film to the extreme. With just one moment, the movie will be among the most boring horror scripts in history. "

Just 30 points, which is the second 30 points after the "voice of the village" film review in Toronto, and also the lowest score of "buried alive" so far.

Obviously, Stephen is not alone. Wesley Morris of the Boston post also expressed a similar view. The evaluation of 50 points is not much better. "Buried alive is a better movie... Than twilight, but it still can't hide its stupidity and dog blood."

In addition, Mary Gronvall is also a strong supporter of the opposition on the "new Yorker." this is a film about ordinary people, society and even the country. The work has the advantages of both horror and excitement. Unfortunately, the director's conceit and arrogance in the last few minutes ruined all the efforts of the whole film, Such an outcome is not only artificial, but also extremely stupid. "

Mary also only gave 50 points, the speech will have some rolling eyes hate iron not steel.

Support, neutrality and opposition; Praise, to the point, criticism“ "Buried alive" has aroused the enthusiasm of film critics, and the heated discussion has appeared in the major media, which is undoubtedly a rare treatment for a work screened. Twenty nine professional media have written reviews——

As a contrast, the number of reviews on the other three works of art reviewed this week did not add up to 20, while the number of the first batch of reviews on "smart: ghost 2" was 23.

The end of the explosion, once again completed the counter attack of the end of the explosion, "buried alive" hot degree is irresistible!
