How to evaluate the high-profile domestic horror film "Evil" shot with only 70,000 yuan?
Compared with many foreign high-quality horror films that have earned enough box office and word of mouth in recent years, such as The Clown Comes Back to Soul and Happy Death Day, the development of domestic horror films seems to be in a backwater. At this time, the cost of a film is only 70 thousand, of which 20 thousand is a small-cost domestic horror film "Evil", which is used to treat the hero's waist injury, but it has aroused waves of ripples
20 15, Ma Kai, who has been wandering in Hengdian for many years, wants to play. He persuaded his friend to spend 50,000 yuan to make a documentary horror film similar to Ghost Story with him. This is the post-shooting cycle of Evil, 18 days. Three cameras, six staff members and actors are all looking for help from friends he met in Hengdian. In this case, Ma Kai is finished. He admitted that "he didn't expect much from this film", but he went to the first Youth Film Festival to try his luck. Unexpectedly, the film won the "Best Art Exploration Award" in one fell swoop. After that, it was sent to Cannes for exhibition, which also received rave reviews.
Unlike many films that only please critics and have a general reputation among the audience, The Evil of China almost became the biggest hot spot in the first film festival. In the fifth screening of the film, the audience lined up to buy tickets, and even "scalpers" appeared. Many viewers said that they were "scared", and even northwest men were scared and shouted at the cinema.
The continuous fermentation of word of mouth has also attracted the attention of the industry. After the first Youth Film Festival, Tencent Pictures bought the copyright of this film. Because the shooting cost of the film is only 70 thousand yuan, it is inevitable that some parts appear rough. Tencent Pictures also invested in makeup and post-production of some scenes. The remake will officially land on the cinema line on April 4 to meet the audience.
Such a good reputation, what did "evil" say? The film probably tells the story of two college students, Ding Xin and Liu Mengmeng, filming a documentary about rural customs as their graduation works, so they followed the famous local "goddess" Wang Po and her husband to a remote home to film the process of avoiding evil spirits, but strange and horrible things happened one after another. Combined with rural customs in China, this may be the biggest feature of China's evil. The story of the film is directly based on the customs of Linyi, Shandong Province, which invisibly increases the sense of substitution of many viewers.
And "low cost" has also become a double-edged sword for this film, making it a film with obvious advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, because the budget is not enough, the film has no money to make sound effects, so Evil in China has almost no "scary sound effects" abused by many horror films. Only by laying a good foundation for details can we win. This helpless move has achieved miraculous results and created a real sense of terror. At the same time, the whole film was shot with a hand-held camera, which restored "fortune-telling", "dancing gods" and many customs that really existed in rural areas of China to the audience in the form of documentary, making people immersive.
However, the low cost also limits the overall texture of the film. Many shots still look rough, and some unprofessional actors push too hard, which may cause people to play. The swing of the movie may make some viewers dizzy.
This is a movie that is rough enough and lively enough. Low cost lost part of the impression, but it didn't polish the sincerity of director Ma Kai. Maybe we can really expect Evil to regain the reputation of domestic horror films.
