In 2016, Joseph Gordon-Levit (Joseph Gordon-Levit), who was originally expected to direct and perform the classic comic "Sandman" (Sandman) adaptation, transferred his ownership to another one under Warner Bros. Pictures "New Line Pictures" announced its withdrawal from the production team shortly afterwards, which made countless fans sigh. "The Sandman" has failed to adapt many times since 1990, making it one of the most difficult comics to be adapted into film and television. The author Neil Richard Gaiman also said: "I would rather not have "The Sandman" "The Sandman" movie is unwilling to see a badly filmed "The Sandman." With the above knowledge, the author watched The Sandman (The Sandman) written and directed by Peter Sullivan in 2017. ), the result is a pity-it is not the comic at all, the format is far from it, the setting is quite similar to "Before I Wake" (Before I Wake) but not so exciting, just full of little girls Screaming thriller.
purely from the perspective of horror movies, the sandman look of "The Sandman" is quite eye-catching, and some settings are quite interesting. Unfortunately, many details that should be further developed have been omitted, including family emotions and fetal strength , Sandman cross-border, especially Tobin Bell (Tobin Bell) government role and the emergence of hypnotist have nothing amazing to play. Shae Smolik, the little girl who plays McDison, has poor acting skills. In the role, she clearly should have strong power, strong fear and sadness of bereavement, and eventually fight against terrible monsters, but she failed to show the corresponding emotions , Excessive indifference and maddening screams make people play. In addition, the plot is weak and unclear. The Sandman removes people who are malicious to her for McDison, but also kills her father who wants to protect her. It can be controlled at once but is uncontrollable. It can barely be explained as requiring the help of a hypnotist; But the worst is the abrupt and no lingering ending after a modest fight... It really shouldn't be named "The Sandman"!
