Speaking of horror films, people’s first impression is of a screen full of blood, or strangely shaped inhuman figures, in short, how scary they come. But there are always people who can do something different, making horror movies not only horrible, but also refreshing and refreshing! Among movies like
, the horror movie that impressed me the most was the horror film "Cry on the Island" starring Nicole Kidman, which was released in 2001. This movie ranks No. 5 in the Douban Horror Movie Ranking, with Douban’s current rating of 8.1. Let's talk about the reasons why such a movie is so attractive.
"Small Island Cry" is set in a very old villa, which makes the whole movie a horror movie similar to a confined space. The overall picture style of "Small Island" has a strong medieval retro style. Although it is a horror movie, many of the pictures in the movie are as beautiful as oil paintings.
This makes "Small Island Cry" completely different from other horror films. Not only is there no bloody scene in the whole film, and there is no money-free blood plasma of the usual horror films, it can also shoot the pictures so beautifully, which can be said to be unique.
not only innovates in the style of the painting, but also shows the master's handwork in the advancement of the plot. As mentioned earlier, there are no terrifying scenes in the film, but we are always worried when watching the film, which shows that the film’s horror atmosphere is created very well. The creation of the
horror atmosphere does not rely on the props in the usual horror movies, but all rely on the plot.
This is due to the fact that every plot of the film is always talkative and halting, giving the audience suspense. For example, when Nicole Kidman saw the three servants, the camera was given to a dumb woman, and the picture was a little frozen at this time. It is doubtful;
For another example, Nicole Kidman’s daughter mentioned seeing the boy Victor in the house, but did not show up until the end of the film. Nicole Kidman’s husband’s return suddenly left. Go, the look of the maid Betty is not a flash of hesitant expression, which gives the audience suspense, and leads us down.
Of course, this movie has a reversal that ordinary horror movies do not have, and it can be called the biggest highlight. The mystery was finally revealed, and it really made people amazing. It turns out that horror movies can still be shot like this!
Nicole Kidman plays the role of the mother of two children in the film, the wife of a soldier who fought with Germany during World War II. She has a grumpy temper and tells her children the same to the servants and cannot be rebelled. The whole movie is about the story after Nicole Kidman invited three servants to take care of the house. In the
room, weird events often occur, there are weird crying sounds, and my daughter often says that there are other weird people in the room, the curtains of the whole room are missing, and so on.
Until Nicole Kidman dismissed the three servants, this was when the daughter took her son and the two ran away looking for her father. He accidentally found the tombstones of the three servants, and discovered that they were all ghosts.
so far, there is no big difference from the usual horror movies. Unexpectedly, at the end of the film, when Nicole Kidman was looking for the child, she saw the psychic wizard talking with the child, and seeing the current owner of the house, she remembered that she had already died. The departure of
caused her to fall into a state of schizophrenia. She killed two children by mistake and committed suicide. After suicide, she woke up and found no abnormalities, thinking that she and the children were still alive.
Under certain conditions, humans and ghosts have an intersection, which is the source of all supernatural phenomena. This reversal ending immediately raised the film to a high level. I never expected such a big surprise when I first watched this film.
Of course, in the film we can still see Nicole Kidman when she was young, she was so beautiful at that time, even from today's point of view, contemporary Hollywood actress is still well-deserved!
What's more, Nicole Kidman's performance in the film is very good, especially the love for the two children, let us believe that the mother should be like this! Isn't this a big surprise!
so many factors add together, so that "small"Island Cry" became a standout horror film, subverting people's perception of horror films, which is why it impressed me the most.
