The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 1016: Slaughterhouse

Every year, the summer file is the most suitable time to show commercial movies, and the audience is also used to watching those well-produced commercial productions in the summer file.

Compared with last year's Hollywood movie year, this year's North American summer schedule is a bit crowded. Relativity Entertainment alone has released films such as The Hulk, Transformers, Kung Fu Panda, and Cars. And Teddy Bear and so on.

There are also many big productions from other companies, such as Sony Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man 3 and Surf Penguin, Warner Bros.' cooperation with Shahai Entertainment's Dark Knight, Paramount Pictures' Mission: Impossible 3 and, Warner Bros.' Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Ocean's Thirteen, Twentieth Century Fox's Pharaohs and Gods, 10,000 BCE and The Simpsons, New Line Cinema Rush Hour 3, Universal Pictures' Craftsman 2 and My Big Fat Gay Wedding…

This summer file is not usually crowded, and there are quite a few movies that will sell well at the box office in Ronan's memory alone.

It is impossible for Relativity Entertainment to release more films in such a dense summer schedule. Low-investment films such as District 9 are simply released in April.

Hollywood doesn't have a very clear idea of ​​the spring release, but if it works well, excellent films can also explode in April with a good market effect.

Compared with several other medium and large-scale productions, the production cost of The Ninth District is only 30 million U.S. dollars, and the promotional expenses are also not very high. Moreover, due to the relationship between the science fiction genre, the production of the film is far from excellent, and even a bit rough , Facing the competition of those first-line big productions, there may be unexpected situations.

The goals of first-line commercial productions are all set in summer, and there are no very competitive films in April. Among them, the truly competitive ones are sandwiched between Relativity Entertainment's Human Skin Inn 2 and The Ninth District. Rear Window was released in the middle of the film.

Produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures, the film stars Shia LaBeouf, godson Spielberg has recommended to Ronan several times.

There is only one film released on a large scale in the same period as The Ninth District, New Line Films' Deceitful Killing Bureau.

Although the film is joined by the veteran actor Anthony Hopkins and the new generation of actor Ryan Gosling, the niche genre of court suspense subjects is inherently insufficient in competitiveness.

The degree of attention that Deceitful Killing Bureau has attracted on the Internet is not even comparable to Human Skin Inn 2.

The cult horror flick hit theaters first weekend in April.

two years ago,

The Inn of Human Skin directed by Eli Roth, nicknamed Big Bear, was quickly welcomed by quite a few horror film lovers after it was pushed into theaters by Embassy Pictures.

Eli Roth, in the words of the Embassy Pictures publicity, shocked the entire Hollywood film industry with an almost completely blood-soaked The Human Skin Inn, which became one of the best films of the year.

Hmm... The Internet Propaganda Department of the Embassy Pictures, under the guidance of Ronan's precepts and deeds, has gained the essence of the Shock Department.

However, the film itself did cause quite a stir.

A hunting ground with the theme of sadism, three second-hand American girls carrying backpacks to travel are sold here and become prey. The only thing waiting for them is death. As for how to die, it depends on the customer Likes become...

This has always been a favorite scene for some American horror movie audiences.

In a considerable number of American movies, the most typical characteristic of American young people is that they are ignorant and brainless. They are willing to try new things, join in wherever there is excitement, and they are too self-righteous-young people are full of curiosity, which is understandable. The bad thing is that they are too easy to trust others, as long as they take advantage of what they like, there will be no one who will not be hooked.

When the first film was released that year, it took away 20 million US dollars at the box office in North America in the first weekend, becoming a typical horror film with a small but big picture.

Two years later, Eli Roth is back with a sequel, The Inn of Human Skin 2, adding a bloody twist to the horrific story that once shocked countless people.

The unprecedented success of Human Skin Inn can be said to be the main reason why this sequel can be produced, but at the same time, it also brings unimaginable huge pressure to the sequel, because no matter what the sequel is made, it will inevitably be taken out for comparison fate.

Fortunately, Eli Roth is doing well.

This type of film, as a safe way, is to advance steadily according to the established success model.

Then, add a little new element appropriately.

So the sequel is still essentially a journey to the death of an American idiot youth.

The difference is that the protagonists of the second part, that is, the second-handed dead, have all become women, and they are beautiful and sexy female characters.

The woman at the center of the vortex of danger or terror has become almost a favorite of fans of the genre, and has eventually evolved into a set formula.

Therefore, the sequel specially sets the gender of the victim this time. The girls who travel to Europe are definitely more likely to be violated than the boys in the first episode of the story. This is also a change that enhances the feeling for the audience.

The sequel tells the story of three American girls who decided to take a self-guided tour on weekends in order to alleviate the troubles brought about by their academic pressure.

These dead girls on the journey once again fell into the hell of a European town and entered the human slaughterhouse.

In happy America, tens of thousands of people die at gunpoint every year, and no less than this number are stabbed to death by knives or other sharp blades.

Put in a movie, this becomes mediocre performance.

Therefore, some perverts in Europe dismissed this: Yankee, I have no imagination!

In this reopened human skin inn, Eli Ross, as a Yankee, will use the hands of Europeans to show his slaughterhouse imagination skills-not to mention amputated limbs, torture, bloodletting, and disembowelling , stomach breaking and other means, the focus of this time's hands-on work is on one hundred and eight kinds of torture tools, chains, saws, hammers, knives, stabs, drills, axes, forks, clamps, hooks...

Long ones, short ones, straight ones, curved ones, electric ones, manual ones, ones with great destructive power and less trauma, the improved and upgraded slaughter hell is full of heart-rending cries.

The characters of weak women who are arbitrarily slaughtered seem to be more able to release the desire to kill. Hollywood horror films that have always tested the audience's tolerance for bloody shocks will not let go of the butcher's knife even in the face of slender and weak women.

The few killing clips interspersed in the film made many movie fans climax after another.

Use a knife and fork to cut off a piece of leg meat and put it directly on the dinner plate to eat, and those who were not killed were sold as specials for the second time, all of which impacted the audience's visual tolerance.

Naked violence, constantly refurbished torture methods, scattered limbs, distorted body tissues... The more intense taste of massacre is put on the cinema table!

Exotic customs, plasma surges, massacres and black shop turmoil, on the first weekend of April 2007, under the banner of scaring bloodthirsty die-hard horror fans, the newly opened Human Skin Inn exhausted the audience All the torture methods that can be imagined to make life worse than death, the most brutal and crazy killings, all the way forward bravely.

The plasma accumulated for two years must be sprayed thoroughly!

There is no need to be veiled and subtle. The key to selling Slaughterhouse is audiovisual stimulation.

Hearts and lungs are dug out, livers and brains are smeared, flesh and blood are flying, limbs and arms are broken, while the plot and the previous work are coherently blended into a complete story, Human Skin Inn 2 unscrupulously stimulates the audience's blood endurance from both body and mind!

Perhaps, in the eyes of many professionals, this film, which is not only violent but also pornographic, is not a real movie at all.

But this can't stop the enthusiasm of fans of genre films, the more disgusting and cruel they are, the more they like it.

These are directly reflected in the box office of Human Skin Inn 2.

In the first weekend of its opening in North America, this typical plasma horror film won 21.25 million US dollars in nearly 3,000 theaters in North America.

Compared with the production cost of 6 million US dollars, it is fully worthy of the praise of the box office.

Of course, the word-of-mouth of the film was a mess, and all kinds of ratings were appallingly low.

However, Human Skin Inn 2 has won the support and recognition of the target audience in the market segment. The generosity of these people and the checks in their pockets are enough to support the film's box office and even offline revenue.

Human Skin Inn 2 won the box office chart on the opening weekend. Driven by targeted publicity and marketing, the subsequent box office trend not only did not collapse, but was relatively stable.

In its second weekend, Paramount Pictures' Rear Window stole the box office title from The Inn of Human Skin 2 with an opening score of $22.21 million.

But the latter's box office revenue of US$9.98 million the following weekend also pushed the total box office in North America to US$36.57 million.

Due to the limited overall investment, Human Skin Inn 2, like the first one, will bring an astonishing return on investment ratio to Relativity Entertainment.

Hollywood horror films have long had a tradition of making big gains with small gains. According to the statistics of Relativity Entertainment, horror films have the highest return on investment among all commercial genres in Hollywood. Before that, 5 out of the 10 films with the highest returns in Hollywood history This is a horror movie.

Of course, a high rate of return does not mean high profits.

Otherwise, Hollywood wouldn't be crazy about investing in big productions that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

District Ninth will have interviews in the following week, and Relativity Entertainment also expects this low-budget sci-fi film to become a hit.

Because of the relationship between Area 51, this sci-fi film has attracted much attention. Countless people who have been influenced by Area 51 conspiracy theories are waiting for this film to be released.

From the end of the 1940s to the present, it has been rumored that there is Area 51 in the United States, which is responsible for dealing with alien affairs. Although this news has never been officially recognized by the United States, it has spread more and more widely. I believe that Area 51 exists. There are not so many people.
