Magnificent music sounded, and on a big screen at Odeo Studios in Toronto and a big screen at Landmark Cinemas in Los Angeles, the title of Lionsgate Pictures appeared. The gear teeth of the machine were turning, and the picture was pushed away from the door hole. Revealed, the gorgeous door is opened, and the sun breaks through the clouds in the sky. It is LION8ATB in capital letters.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Immediately follows the opening animation of the cliff movie. A steep cliff can be seen standing by the lakeside. The screen zooms in, and a gray cat is climbing up the cliff. There is a line of engraved words on the stone wall under it: HLUFFILM.
In this opening scene, Nina looks at Ye Wei in surprise. The two of them look at each other and smile, with a sweetness that only they understand flowing in their hearts.
Grande, Potko, Grady, Berghoff, Rubeo and others all smiled excitedly. No matter what, they were so satisfied and relaxed at this time. It seemed that they were not sure that the movie had finished until now. Once done, you won't be suddenly invaded by the evil director.
"I actually acted in a movie." Damien still couldn't believe it. Ryan DeSantis, who played "Cotton" next to him, heard his soft sigh and couldn't help but sigh: "Father Karas, who can believe that easily?" What? "Father Karras is Damian's nickname on the set, because he has the same name as "Father Damian Karras" in The Exorcist.
Yes, every actor sitting here can¡¯t believe that they are just a group of improvisational actors who performed in amusement parks and other places, and they miraculously appeared on the screen.
That talented young man really brought everyone to the top of the mountain. After taking a look at this beautiful scenery, they all had no regrets.
The joy of the crowd did not disturb the silence of the two sparsely populated theaters. Not every audience knew what this moment meant: the second uudlae horror film to land on North American screens after "Blair Witch"
After nearly six years, can handheld photography bring another creepy feeling?
Is it a silent failure? Or an even more astonishing phenomenon on and off screen?
The three film critics Custer, Scheik, and Orr had expressionless faces, just like executioners preparing for execution. Countless movies have already died under their hands.
"Movies are not a tool for picking up girls, Ye Wei, I hope you haven't done this kind of thing. Gian Cara Coppola's opponents don't do this kind of thing." Gia's eyes flashed with complicated sharpness.
"However, tonight I will be the most demanding moviegoer. I am not an ordinary viewer, I am a jealous girl." Emma pursed her mouth tightly, with youthful wrinkles hidden on her forehead.
In their pupils, in the pupils of all the viewers, the title sequence ends and the film begins
There is no information about the director, starring, etc. in the bathroom. In the bathroom, Cotton, a middle-aged man wearing a blue T-shirt, is shaving in front of the large mirror on the wash basin. The camera reflects his face through the mirror, and the figure where he stands. Not far behind him was the documentary photographer filming him.
"Oh, camera", "No way, we cheated on each other from the beginning." Another couple in the audience sitting in front of Lev and others exclaimed softly. Emma's first reaction was "I'm cheating", but then she thought
"This is not a gang." Kerwin said calmly. Lev and Bud nodded heavily. I wonder if this is a pseudo-documentary?
Understanding viewers like Gersta and Debbie had no doubts. Far from getting into the story, they just watched. I have never watched too many mockumentaries, so in fact, it is not boring or long-lost, but it is very interesting. The freshness of it - knowing what it is and yet being ready to dive in.
The film critics also watched, and they were already a little surprised. What happened in the opening seconds, the smooth lens, the film quality, the exquisite shooting angle
If this happened in an ordinary movie, it would be normal, but if it happened in a uudlae movie, it would be completely different from the impression. The first shot of "Blair Witch" starts with shaking and blur. The picture quality is rough photography and lens. It keeps shaking, and it also keeps shaking when it is not shaking, as if it was taken by a Parkinson's disease patient.
"A bunch of rough images are put together to tell a mysterious and terrifying story", this is the style of "Blair Witch". The film critics have high praise for this pioneering experiment, and then there has been no chance to score it a second time until now.
This is not a TH style, it is too gentle, it is just hand-held photography at the level of an ordinary movie. It does not seem to stun the audience's interest. A new style of remaking old movies?
In this case, maybe there will be a little surprise in the next 3 minutes?
The Custer trio, who had zero expectations, became interested. They liked the attitude of "Kule". A TH port was enough, and TPT could have different brilliance. At least with this attitude, it is possible to create a new classic pseudo-documentary, even break the shackles of this genre, and open up a new space unknown to everyone.
Grande, Potko, well done
Just as the audience had mixed reactions to the beginning of the film, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Ah" screamed in pain, and on the big screen, a shaved Cotton scratched the right side of his face, a deep wound, blood gushing out, and slipperyThe chin dropped, dripping from the razor, and the right face in the mirror was red with blood, and the left face was covered with white shaving foam, showing a pained expression with gritted teeth.
"Are you okay?" A rough male voice said. The photographer approached and the camera became closer.
"You need a towel." A surprised female voice and the figure of the female sound engineer walked past the camera to help get the towel.
"I'm fine, haha." Cotton wiped the right side of his face in the mirror, his hand was covered with blood and the blood was still flowing. He turned to face the camera and jokingly leaned over to show the bloody wound, "This is blood, pastor. The blood is nothing special."
In the slightly shaky close-up shot, the bloody wounds almost covered the screen. It was not as cruel and terrifying as the eye-cut scene in "An Andalou Dog", but it was also indescribably weird. The audience suddenly shuddered and became more and more afraid of blood. The more uncomfortable it becomes.
"Haha" Cotton was not only showing his wounds, but also showing his cheerful personality and his attitude towards priests and demons. He looked like a demon roaring at the camera and laughed again: "It's nothing special, right?"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Shek crossed his arms across his chest. This long opening shot is very powerful, explaining the existence of the film crew and many other things, and in a way that makes people feel scared. He remembered the scene in The Exorcist where the little girl Regan needed to puncture her neck during a head examination in the hospital and blood spurted out.
Are those two people enlightened? Custer thought to himself, a thrilling, tense, and depressing mood was already building, starting from the first shot.
"How is it?" Emma asked Gia in a low voice, feeling that something was wrong
"It's still early." Gia said, her eyes not leaving the screen for a moment.
"It's still early." Emma muttered, "It's still early."
