The Greatest Showman - Chapter 282

[Two hundred and seventy-nine film reviews are online]

In 2010, in the third week of October, “Smart: Ghost Story 2” made a strong debut, locking in the upcoming Thanksgiving and Halloween schedules, looking forward to continuing the glory of the previous work; at the same time, including “Buried Alive”, Four independent works of art have been screened in art theaters one after another. The market that has been quiet after the summer vacation has finally shown signs of recovery due to the arrival of the year-end holiday.

But contrary to everyone’s expectations, in the mid-night competition, it was actually “Buried Alive” that took the lead!

The particularity of the midnight show is destined that only a specific group of fans will go to the cinema to watch it at the first time. As a horror movie, “Smart: Ghost Recording 2” has accumulated an excellent reputation for its predecessors, and many audiences are very concerned about it. The sequel expresses great anticipation, but going out to watch the movie at 12 midnight and then coming home in the middle of the night is definitely an act of courage that only a very small percentage of the audience does.

Therefore, the midnight performance of “Smart: Ghost Story 2” can only be described as mediocre and lackluster.

In comparison, “Buried Alive”, which was held in eleven theaters, successfully detonated the enthusiasm of the audience. According to incomplete statistics, tickets for three theaters were sold out, and the average of eleven theaters was sold out. The attendance rate also reached 60%.

Incredible!

Absolutely incredible!

This is true for any movie!

What’s more, without the appeal of the director, the appeal of the top big-name actors, or even any publicity, it is even more astounding that the film can achieve such a result!

From midnight box office revenue to instant online discussion, “Buried Alive” is an all-in-one show that’s ahead of “Smart: Ghost Recording 2”, a miracle that completely detonated the topic!

Further push the work of “Buried Alive” to the forefront!

Friday and Saturday, two full days,

The news about “Buried Alive” is buzzing, and it seems that there is no end to the news about this work. Even in the latest official report of the “Fast and Furious 5” crew about their move to Rio de Janeiro, “Buried Alive” “The information was also mentioned, although it was only a casual mention, but the dissemination effect was not trivial.

Although, with the advancement of time, “Smart: Ghost Story 2” gradually regained control of the initiative. After all, it is a comprehensive release of more than 3,000 theaters, and the audience traffic is naturally not the same class. There is only one this week. When a new movie is released, there is no competition at all.

However, the news of “Buried Alive” has not been completely submerged, and it is still interspersed with it. Even because of the type of thriller and suspense, many media who like to watch the lively have used it to compare it with “Smart: Ghost Record 2”. It is believed that these two works of the same type are likely to usher in more intense competition in the next Halloween schedule.

Unconsciously, even “Smart: Ghost Story 2” has become a propaganda medium for “Buried Alive”, which is really dumbfounding.

During the vigorous publicity campaign, film critics also came out to join in the fun one after another, adding fuel to the fire.

Although it is said that “Buried Alive” has received a lot of praise at the Toronto Film Festival, even if there are some criticisms, it still cannot stop the film’s win-win reputation among film critics and audiences; but Toronto is only Toronto, compared to that film. In a land known for its friendliness and politeness, people still care more about North American media reviews.

Karina-Longworth of USA TODAY gave it a 91 out of 100, “Unexpected twists, dramatic drama, rhythm-free rhythm, terrifying atmosphere… Everything audiences have come to expect from a thriller and suspense movie can be found in ‘Buried Alive’. And of course, there’s a surprise: Renly Hall.”

Rene-Rodriguez A review published by the Chicago Tribune was not stingy with its own praise, “The horror, excitement, suspense, and chills that this work delivers makes every other thriller this year look like shoddy plastic; and Renly- Hall’s excellent performance makes his peers look like children playing in the mud on the beach.” Eighty-eight points is too rare for a thriller movie.

“The success of this film is not only because of the sufficient drama in a cramped and limited space, but also because the director’s accurate grasp of atmosphere and light has successfully created a terrifying nightmare, but also because Hall gave one of the ten best performances of the year.” This is from Bill-Goodykoontz’s comment in the New York Post, who also gave eighty Eight points for sure.

Rick-Moore of the San Francisco Chronicle gave it an 80, with a succinct comment, “Just when you thought he had nowhere to go, he strikes again and takes your breath away!”

“It’s funny how we usually go to the cinema for enjoyment, but director Rodrigo Cortez concocted a frightening, thrilling, terrifying, terrifying film that makes everyone who walks into a movie The audience was tortured and survived. It may not have been a journey of enjoyment, but it was, without a doubt, a magical and wonderful cinematic journey. More importantly, Renly Hall gave Brilliant performance, he’s the kind of ‘better than the movie’ type of actor who really enjoys it.”

This is from Shawn-Levy’s review in Empire magazine , he gave a high score of 90, giving the movie enough praise from a different angle.

Praise, praise, praise, the unanimous praise of the authoritative mainstream media, consistent with Toronto, once again let people clearly feel the unstoppable force of this thriller; however, this time the first batch of reviews also ushered in In addition to criticism, there is also neutrality.

The Washington Post’s Ann-Hornaday, despite her praise, gave her a score of only 70. In her review, she said, “A well-crafted, flawlessly executed thriller, a great Undoubtedly a blockbuster debut for Renly Hall. Was it an enjoyable ninety minutes? No, but for a genre film, it was an unquestionably successful, chilling success. But now, I’m ready to leave .”

The humor in the words can make people see that she is not too fond of the thriller movie, even if it is praised, the score is still not high, probably this is the reason.

Amy-Nicholson scored sixty-five points, “You have to remind yourself all the time, breathe.”

This is a comment published in “Time” magazine, there is no doubt about its authority, and at the same time It can also give a glimpse of the overall mentality of the mainstream media –

they have always been more harsh on horror movies, and in the entire long history of the Oscars, only four horror movies have won the best picture nomination, and the last one was nominated for the Oscar. Horror movies were already the “Sixth Sense of Spirituality” eleven years ago, and even Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” received only 61 points in a comprehensive media review.

Now, the same is true for “Buried Alive,” which received positive feedback from critics in The Washington Post and Time magazine, but received poor scores.

Obviously, they are all looking forward to more, at least not “suddenly” fear and fear.

Naturally, critical negative reviews are inevitable in any slasher horror movie – Buried Alive is no exception.

“Variety” magazine and “The Hollywood Reporter” are listed as the most important industry professional magazines in Hollywood. Their opinions are undoubtedly crucial. Before the Toronto Film Festival, the “Hollywood Reporter” did not hesitate to call “Buried Alive” “Sent words of praise, but “Variety” has a completely different attitude.

In his review, Stedphen-Holden said, “In this cheap and rudimentary film, just as the hero Paul is already in a desperate situation, a poisonous snake rushes into the pine box that traps him. This undoubtedly pushes the movie’s bad plot and bloody drama to the extreme. Just relying on this moment, the movie can be shortlisted for the most boring horror script in history.” Just

thirty points, this is after “Village Voice” After Toronto’s review, the second thirty, tied for “Buried Alive”‘s lowest score to date.

Apparently, Stephen is not alone, Wesley-Morris of The Boston Post expressed a similar sentiment, and a fifty-point rating is not much better, UU read www.sonicmtl.com” ‘Buried Alive’ is a

. “Shang is also a strong supporter of the opposition.” This is a film about ordinary people, society, and even the country. The work has the advantages of both thrilling and exciting, but unfortunately, the director’s film in the last few minutes of Self-righteous and arrogant, but ruined all the efforts of the entire movie, this ending is not only artificial, but also extremely stupid.”

Mary only gave fifty points, and the words will be quite a bit of hatred. Not steel.

Support, neutral, oppose; praise, pertinent, criticize.

“Buried Alive” has aroused the enthusiasm of film critics, and the lively discussions have appeared in major media. This is undoubtedly a rare treatment for a screened work. It is written by 29 professional media. commented –

In contrast, the other three art works screened this week did not add up to 20 film reviews, while the first batch of film reviews for “Smart: Ghost Story 2” was 23.

After the explosion, the complete explosion of the counterattack has been completed once again, and the popularity of “buried alive” is really unstoppable!
