At the beginning of the production of " Moonlight Panic ", it is expected to end in a trilogy. Now, in 2022, the final chapter, "Moonlight Panic: The End," is out, and it does one of the toughest tasks for a franchise today: it literally puts an end to McMyers' horror saga.
Four years ago, "Moonlight Panic: The Killing" used to be the town of Haddonfield's best chance to end Miles' nightmare: the whole town boiled and swarmed to kill the demon who took too many lives . But Haddonfield failed, and so did our hero Lori Strand, who lost more dear friends and family. Now that four years have passed, some villagers whose relatives died at the hands of Miles blamed Lori for his willful provoking of Miles' murder. However, McMyers is still hidden, and a new form of evil seems to be beginning to appear in front of Haddonfield. Lolly, who wants to let go of the past, also seems to have to draw an end to this tragedy that has spread for 40 years. .
"Moonlight Panic: The End" pays tribute to the classics and has a new taste In the episode, Lori, the nanny who fought alone in the 1970s, has now become the grandmother of three generations of grandparents, and this killing series will have an ending. Director David Gordon Green and screenwriter Danny McBride continue to return. You can find that the style of the first two episodes has continued to "Moonlight Panic: The End". It can be said that audiences who love the first two episodes of the movie can still Experience these original styles they love.
So, what kind of new style did David and Danny bring to this ancient series? It can be said that most of the new century movies that continue the old series like "Moonlight xi4n Panic" will re-select topics that are more in line with the tastes of contemporary audiences. Indeed, the same is true for the "Moonlight Panic" series, but more importantly, they can be said to be the most "respectful" choreographer partners of Hollywood today: they let the elements of the past ten works of the "Moonlight Panic" series, To be in these new movies as much as possible, maybe to remake old scenes, maybe to use old settings, maybe to use old characters that even the audience forgets... David and Danny seem to be eager to prove that they have Love this classic hack and slash horror franchise.
"Moonlight Panic: The End" opened, and they shared the true feelings of fans again: it's another month of dark and windy nights, another couple is going out, and a new babysitter is taking care of a skinny child alone (and naughty kid who likes horror movies). Suffice to say, if you're a fan of 1978's "Moonlight Panic", the short opening scene of "Moonlight Panic: The End" will definitely make you smile knowingly -- it's almost a reinterpretation of "Moonlight Panic: The End" What happened to Lori in Panic.
's way of playing old things with new flavors is one of the reasons why the "Moonlight Panic" series can be successful. However, this time, "Moonlight Panic: The End" is not just a tribute to the classics, it tries to make a brand new one for the decades-long relationship between Lori and Miles by replaying the opening of the first episode. Interpretation.
From "Moonlight Panic" to "Moonlight New Panic", why does McMyers always chase and kill Lori?
We are afraid of Mike Myers, this fear comes from the unknown first, and then Miles is cruel. Although the "Moonlight Panic" series has been filmed for ten episodes, and there have been remakes on the way, no matter which "Moonlight Panic" is, it is trying to explain the unknown about Miles: why he was in 1978. Nian killed my sister? Why keep chasing Lori? forWhy does he seem to have an immortal body? Is he so mad that he loses his sense of pain? Or was he possessed by an evil spirit to become an undead superman? Many previous works tried to offer explanations, but none of them offered a satisfactory explanation. Miles is a lunatic who kills for no reason, a mentally ill child with a broken childhood, and an evil spirit at another, and his origins are always changing.
The truth is, "Moonlight New Panic" pays homage to this chaos: In "Moonlight New Panic", Miles is a patient who has been imprisoned for life by , and we even close to seeing his true face . It seems that the new series seems to be trying to "realize" Miles; but by the end of "Moonlight Panic: The Killing", Miles suddenly becomes some kind of metaphysical evil spirit, he seems to be dead and resurrected, and The more he died, the more brave he became... At this time, Miles suddenly changed from the crazy murderer in "Moonlight Panic" to the supernatural style murderer in "Moonlight Panic" 4, 5, and 6.
However, Moonlight Panic: Endgame has decided to finally come to a conclusion. Through the unfortunate incident at the beginning, it explains Miles' evil origin on the one hand, and on the other hand, secretly affirms Lori's strength-whether you are the murderer or the survivor in the murder case, after the murder case is over, you have to endure it infinitely A silent judgment from the eyes of others. They may see you as a monster that annihilates conscience, and they may see you as a lucky one who got away with it. These prejudices and prejudices rob you of your right to speak, ignore your wishes, and flatten you into a matter of course. Stereotype of the ear. So, just like McMyers who everyone shouted to kill... What if... his crime of killing his sister... was just an unfortunate accident?
's populist justice without trial, and the inescapable murderer's nightmare
's populist justice without trial has been criticized once in "Moonlight Panic: Killing": the villagers caught in the atmosphere of crazy killing, hard Innocent lives were forced to death. And this state of collective ignorance, regardless of justice and killing first, could not even kill Miles for sure, but instead created opportunities for Miles to break through. And in "Moonlight Panic: The End", the movie discusses the concept of "others are hell" in more depth.
Why Haddonfield Town can never get rid of the nightmare of Miles? Maybe it's not that Miles is too evil, the evil may be this "simple folk" town. The rigid concepts and discrimination of the villagers in the small towns will brew even greater evil in the daily emotional blackmail and cynicism due to tragedies caused by misfortune or accidents. Maybe Miles didn't stay here, but he couldn't escape the spiritual prison jointly constructed by the villagers. Miles has become pure malice in the mouths of the villagers, but they may have forgotten or deliberately ignored it. They created the demon Miles themselves. The current life is just Miles' belated revenge.
But Lori took a different path. She didn't let violence and resentment swallow her soul - she chose to close her life and became Miles's most tortured victim. In "Moonlight Panic: The End", Lori seems to have relived the tragedy of 40 years ago. She watched another tragedy and slowly evolved into the tragedy she had experienced, and the new evil was also caused by Born here. This time she can't sit in the city for another 40 years, and Lori must act now to prevent a new nightmare from being born again.
"Moonlight Panic: Endgame" is not a remake of "Moonlight Panic", it is different from the example of "STAR WARS: The Force Awakens" morphing remake "Star Wars: The First Light", more appropriately , "Moonlight Panic: The End" is a serious "review" of "Moonlight Panic" to see if this tragedy 40 years ago will reappear in today's space and time. The answer is of course yes, and the arrangement of "Moonlight Panic: The End" is more convincing, because now the villagers are creating new demons every day, and bullying has spread to the invisible online community, we must bear it all the time Other people's visible and invisible "death of laughter" and messages on the flames - we will never even recognizeKnow who these unreasonable critics are.
"Moonlight Panic: The End" gives a "new definition" to horror movies, Miles and Lori's ultimate battle!
"Moonlight Panic: Endgame" redefined horror cinema, but while it pointed out the question, it didn't tell us the answer. It seems that no one can escape this invisible hell of verbal criticism. Although you are legally proven innocent, you may still be sentenced to death by the justice of the villagers... So how do we get out of this predicament? Of course, Luo Li couldn't answer. Her answer in "Moonlight" was to transfer herself to become a steel lady and completely cut off the relationship with outsiders. But it can be seen from her poor mother-daughter relationship that this kind of negative life escape does not end well.
"Moonlight Panic: The End" a bit tricky to avoid this big problem, only telling you what to do if you make the wrong choice, but not how to do it right. In ordinary movies, this kind of trickery is almost doomed to the failure of the movie, but "Moonlight Panic: The End" is different. It has a tricky choice-it makes Lori and Miles have the ultimate showdown, No matter who wins, this battle will end with only one person standing.
That's also the good thing about the Moonlight Panic: Every episode has a bloody climactic killing spree, and this one remains traditional. Moreover, the killing is of great significance, because the two greatest protagonists of the series, the murderer and the victim, the demon and the saint, are going to fight the ultimate battle. Miles and Lori are getting old... they are really old (there is a description of their physical weakness in the movie), and this time, regardless of the superiority, Death is going to play one. And "Moonlight Panic: The End" solidly fulfilled the resentment of fans of the series for decades. This time, no one ran away, no one was careless, and both sides took their old lives to fight - and this time it really The separation is higher and lower.
