Visual perception ability may be an innate ability of human beings. Among these visual symbols, China and the West reflect the same and different thinking in their own and unique ways. All of these are based on the differences in various cultural traditions. . The root of horror art comes from Gothic novels. For the creation of horror and horror films, creators are familiar with the elements required by various films, but the situation in different countries is different. The beginning of visual creation comes from associations. People are often scared of horror events. It is because of the image of fear in their hearts.
has such a horror movie, which integrates all the things that people are afraid of. There are many easter eggs in the movie. If you are an experienced horror film fan, you should easily understand the stalk of the movie, "The Cabin in the Woods" "It was filmed in 2009. At that time, Chris Hemsworth was not Thor's Hammer, and Lionsgate was also the film company that made small-cost horror films.
is not an outstanding film in terms of actors and production. Why is there such a good reputation? It is also because the film has greatly satisfied the audience’s fantasy visually. The word-of-mouth reviews of "The Cabin in the Woods" more or less brought Lionsgate more courage to stand up. Lionsgate, named after plasma films such as "Chain Saw", gave the audience a shocking audio-visual experience this time. The movie
is a tribute to the horror film and a mockery of the horror film industry.
01
A horror film has a rich plot and amazing horror scenes, clever modes and various bloody shots. It will never disappoint you who like to watch horror movies. In fact, there are many ubiquitous movies in the movie. Reverse thinking and anti-routine settings, all kinds of harsh irony are also endless. It can be said that every highlight of "The Cabin in the Woods" is just right, and it is its intention that has moved so many fans.
At the beginning of the movie, two men were working in a serious discussion laboratory. The audience was a little out of mood with them. When everyone began to wonder whether the film was misplaced, the film suddenly began to transition, and the audience was awakened. It turns out that "The Cabin in the Woods" is not so boring!
In fact, the structure of the movie is very similar to that of "The Hunger Games", which is a reality show that surpasses ordinary people. The difference is that after the final horror monster of "The Cabin in the Woods" kills all the contestants, it needs to sacrifice to the underground gods. , To save the world, and the contestants are completely ignorant of being manipulated. This setting has a sci-fi taste. An ordinary small wooden house in the forest hides a "monster kingdom" below. , I believe no one thought of this. The monsters in the
movie are quarantined one by one in a single room. They are placed in various scenes like loading a game, and escape horror films must die one by one. The slut must die first, and the protagonist must die first. After all of them die, the movie will be over by then... Why? Because the audience is God, what do we expect from horror movies, then they will shoot all our worst thoughts.

This is only the first half of "The Cabin in the Woods". The reverse of the movie is that after the audience thinks this is an ordinary "escape and kill" movie, they begin to let the survivors enter the nest of the control organization and release all kinds of monsters. It is really wicked and interesting. The eruption, this time the audience fully understood, but their thoughts were also overwhelmed by the plasma and monsters all over the screen. Looking at the monster collection on the full screen, the waves of visual impact made people look away. As a result, many people paused and replayed it several times when they saw that segment. The scene of that scene was also the "best scene" and it is worth watching repeatedly.
"The Cabin in the Woods" satirizes with a humorous self-deprecating tone that today's horror films can no longer frighten the audience and deceive the audience. The sudden reversal takes the audience into another world. Two concepts are introduced here:
is the first one. The term "horror aesthetics" is particularly distinctive in contemporary art. They usually appeal to passion or use cruel and radical ways to tease the audience's senses. The second of
is "violence aesthetics", which uses aesthetic methods, poetic pictures, and even fantasy shots to express the violence and violent behavior of human nature. It emphasizes scenes, rhythm and visual pleasure.
The chaos-style shots are common in Western movies. Among the various expressions of visual art, color is also the most important. In horror moviesMedium, low-purity, dull, and complex cool colors are associated with ambiguous and depressing psychological characteristics. The use of red, white, black, and gray in such films is quite common.

In fact, the first zombie in "The Cabin in the Woods" is the weakest, and the least scary. After the zombie army retreats, the main event will come out. After all, a few zombies fighting alone will not make people afraid , So in "The Cabin in the Woods", zombies and murderers are here for soy sauce, and the most important thing is the "monsters".
"The Cabin in the Woods" pays homage to a huge number of classic horror films. I saw it in the movies:
in "Night of the Living Dead", the little girl in "Silent Hill", " The female ghost of "Midnight Furious Bell", the ogre of "Fatal Bend", the clown of "Return to the Clown", the devil of "Raising Ghosts", the demon bugs of "The Mist", the murderous mania of "The House of Haunts" , And more than that, what are werewolves, ghosts, aliens, giant monsters, pythons, murlocs, goblins, etc....
is a grand bloody carnival, plus all kinds of transformations and deja vu For horror film lovers, old and new, I feel that my eyes can’t come over. For horror film lovers, this is a big carnival.
Conclusion
In recent years, in order to pursue visual stimulation, domestic horror film directors frequently let ghosts appear in the film. This uninterrupted stimulation will numb the audience, cause no sense of fear, and cause aesthetic fatigue. Therefore, domestic horror films have always been a weakness of domestic films.
Generally speaking, for a visual feast like "The Cabin in the Wood", it may be difficult to replicate, but the success of this movie is that you see the beginning of it, but you can hardly guess the end, but The movie is crazy enough, subversive enough, this visual snack, why not enjoy it, I believe everyone who has watched it will reminisce about the wonderfulness of this movie.
