Chapter 280: The Ogre on the Tip of the Tongue

Perhaps it was affected by the horrible atmosphere at the premiere. As soon as the film was shown, there was an inexplicable tension in the theater. The air seemed to start to stagnate, as if a bomb would explode at any time.
This kind of traditional American horror film, in the hands of Gilmour del Toro, a somewhat unusual Mexican director, still has all the changes, especially the freak link, even more perverted and crazy.
In the early days of Gilmour Del Toro, filming was crazy.
Of course, the structure and plot of the whole film do not go beyond the traditional American plasma horror movie model.
As a producer, Ronan will not let Gilmour del Toro shoot and produce according to the director's ideas.
So, to some extent, "Fatal Turn" is also very traditional.
The beginning of the film is a young middle-aged man demonstrating how to die off the beaten track.
The whole story is simple and clear, so people can understand it at a glance.
Chris received an urgent interview mission. He must arrive in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA within 3 hours. The trip that was supposed to be smooth was disrupted by a traffic accident. A vehicle carrying chemicals overturned, causing a traffic jam on the highway.
In desperation, Chris chose a sparsely populated path.
On the other hand, five friends including Jesse, Carly, Scott, Evan and France drove to camp in the mountains. Unexpectedly, the car had a bizarre puncture halfway, and while waiting for rescue, the car was hit by Chris who was in distress.
Everyone went to the neighborhood to ask for help, but they didn't expect to fall into the traps set by abnormal people...
As a result, the deformed people staged an ogre on the tip of the tongue.
The focus of this kind of horror movie, which is where the horror lies, is naturally the process of killing, but if the plasma and killing scenes are repeated, it is easy to cause aesthetic fatigue, so as early as when the script was created, it was deliberately focused on the way everyone died. A clear distinction is made to increase stimulation.
The ways of killing people are different, and the way of eating is naturally different. Some are eaten raw, fried, and sliced ​​pork.
In this regard, director Gilmour Del Toro gave full play to the imagination of an alternative director.
For example, a female character witnessed a freak killing several of her friends. One of them was cut alive and made into a sashimi, rolled in a frying pan and picked up to eat. This person was still alive while eating. Watching the ogre wash his own meat...
Exclamations kept ringing in the theater, I don't know if these people were afraid of their minds or their stomachs.
The United States has the most dramatic human beings in the world, and no country has so many potential food raw materials. In order to get this gift of nature, the ogres hacked, hacked, shredded, and slashed with their teeth.
This film will show the story of ogres and people behind deliciousness...
The plot of this film is compact and the atmosphere is tense enough. From the beginning to the end, people's heart and stomach have been kept in a state of high tension.
People with bad stomachs are not suitable for watching this film. The ogre on the tip of the tongue will make people spit out.
But this is the traditional American horror movie, and it is also the most popular horror movie genre in North America in the past two decades.
Madness, dismemberment, often appear in American horror movies.
Bloody dismemberment, violent fights, perhaps this is a definition of terror by the old Americans.
Often to achieve the effect of horror, the screen is full of blood red and rust, dirty and old trucks, torture rooms away from the crowds, plus a few perverted murderers with ugly appearances and evil hearts. This is the horror of the old beauty, which brings the audience. It's always just the visual stimulus fear, not the psychological fear after watching.
"Fatal Corner" did not go beyond these traditional settings.
In other words, Gilmour del Toro thought about jumping out, but was restricted by Ronan, the producer.
Because this is not a pioneering film of experimental type, but a commercial horror film with a mature operation model.
Therefore, the routines in the film are in line with Lao Mei's consistent appreciation of horror films.
For example, people with external deformities must be internally deformed.
For example, when dealing with murderers, it is better to escape than to kill, and you must kill them by any means at any time.
Look at the traditional American horror movies, the villains and protagonists of the movie look scared to death.
In fact, if you analyze it carefully, almost all of the negative effects of the deformed appearance are mental distortion. If nothing happens, it will flash as far as possible.
In the face of these murderous madmen, whenever they escape, the subsequent plots are basically broken one by one in the pursuit.
Like those who fought back, they survived.
These are routines.
Perhaps the only thing missing in this film is the element, and the large-scale male and female roles are a bit less.
At the end of the film, applause rang out very warmly, and it seemed that the audience was quite satisfied with the film.
Ronan also shook hands with Gilmour del Toro specifically: "Good job, a masterpiece of horror."
Such a film, not to mention how profitable it can be, but with proper publicity, it can always bring a certain profit, and then let the sequel continue to be filmed.
Applause rang for a full two minutes, which is far short of the premiere of "The Bourne", but this is only a horror film after all.
Ronan did not attend the subsequent press conferences and other activities, and left the Chiefs Rock Theatre directly and returned to Beverly Hills.
At the premiere scene, various statistics are in progress, especially the comments and ratings of the audience.
Most horror film fans have a good evaluation of "Fatal Turn".
"Easy to understand, fascinating, bloody, weird, sudden sounds and scene effects, these can be fully reflected in this film!"
"A good film, it's worth watching!"
"Very wonderful road deformity murderer genre film, the action scene is very good!"
"I like such horrible and films."
"Heavy taste, I like it!"
This type of film is basically considered successful as long as it can be liked by the horror film fan community.
Passerby audiences rarely watch this type of horror movie. After all, this is fundamentally different from horror movies like "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural".
This kind of film is killing and gore, and the audience is actually just enjoying it.
Only an hour after the premiere, the audience survey from Cinema's premiere site reached Ronan.
In a sample survey of 102 ordinary viewers, "Fatal Corner" received an average "B" rating.
These are direct ratings from horror film lovers.
Just after the early hours of the morning, the word-of-mouth ban on Rotten Tomatoes in "Fatal Corner" was lifted. The film critics did not expect it to be a mess. Rotten Tomatoes were marked as rotten, with a freshness of 43%, and the film critics scored an average of 4.2 points.
At the same time, IMDB also lifted the ban on related ratings because the number of rating users reached the minimum limit, and the audience scored an average of 6.8.
For a blood plasma horror movie, generally speaking, the reputation is good.
This type of film naturally has a low reputation, even if it is a masterpiece such as "Chain Saw", the various ratings are actually not high.
The media and film critics basically look at such horror films with colored glasses.
In any case, "Deadly Bend" is far more quality than "House of Death" which relies entirely on hype to attract people.
After all, Gilmour Del Toro is not the famous bad movie king like Uvi Bauer.
After the premiere, this American horror film began to be released in North America. 2,355 opened cinemas, enough to ensure the coverage of "Fatal Bend" in the North American market.
The ingenious premiere of the film also attracted a lot of attention, especially media reports, which effectively promoted the spread of the film.
"Fatal Turn" on the first day of its release in North America, it won $7.35 million, showing a good momentum.
This also makes the movie theaters feel that the invested screen resources are worth the money.
By the second day of Saturday, "Fatal Corner" still maintained a good attendance rate. The box office of $7.53 million also represented a relatively stable box office trend at least for the first weekend.
It was released for three days in the first weekend, and the film won $20.1 million in North America.
In terms of box office revenue alone, "Fatal Corner" has been a success.
The production of the sequel is inevitable.
In addition, even after three days of screenings on the weekend, the audience reputation of "Fatal Corner" is not bad, and the IMDB score has remained at around 6.5.
From Cinema's prediction, the film's North American box office will eventually fall at around $50 million.
Although compared to the public production cost of 20 million US dollars, such box office results can only be considered satisfactory, but for Ronan and Shahai Entertainment, "Fatal Corner" has achieved great success.
With the investment settlement in Abu Dhabi, we have to wait for the film to be sold overseas. In terms of the speed of overseas distribution of horror films, the fastest full recovery will have to wait until the end of this year or even the middle of next year.
Ronan is not in a hurry to settle settlements with investors in Abu Dhabi. If they are willing to continue investing in Shahai Entertainment's film projects, he welcomes them with his hands. If they plan to divest, then settle settlements in accordance with the contract and Hollywood rules~ EbookFREE.me ~ Shahai Entertainment does not lack new movie projects. Ronan welcomes every foreign investor, especially overseas investors.
Those sequel projects, of course, are not in the ranks of accepting foreign investment, such as "Human Removal Project 3" and "Reaper Is Coming 2", which are basically completed with internal funds of Relativity Entertainment.
The sequel project is less risky, more profitable, and has a successful model that can be applied, and shooting and production is relatively easier.
Ronan is also gradually letting go of this piece. For example, the following "Human Removal Project 3" will be completely handed over to George Clint to operate.
As long as the sequel projects don't make any major innovations and changes, they will generally have a longer lifespan.
Innovation is the natural enemy of the usual success model of sequel projects.
Ronan is not discouraging innovation, but innovation must be moderate.
