The Best Entertainment Era

Perhaps it was affected by the terrifying atmosphere at the premiere. As soon as the film screening started, there was an inexplicable tension in the theater. The air seemed to freeze, as if a bomb would explode at any time.

This kind of traditional American horror film, in the hands of Guillermo del Toro, a somewhat alternative Mexican director, still has all the changes, especially the freaks, which are even more perverted and crazy.

In the early days of Guillermo del Toro, filming was crazy.

Of course, the structure and plot of the whole film do not deviate from the pattern of traditional American blood plasma massacre horror films.

As a producer, Ronan will not let Guillermo del Toro shoot and produce according to the director's ideas.

So, to some extent, Fatal Turns is also very traditional.

The beginning of the film is a deadly American middle-school youth demonstrating how to die in an inaccessible place.

The whole story is simple and clear, so that people can understand it at a glance.

Chris received an urgent interview assignment, and he had to arrive in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA within three hours. The supposedly smooth itinerary was disrupted by a traffic accident, a vehicle carrying chemicals overturned, causing a traffic jam on the highway.

In desperation, Chris chose a sparsely populated path.

On the other hand, five friends including Jesse, Carly, Scott, Evan and France drove to the mountains for camping. Unexpectedly, the car had a strange puncture halfway, and while waiting for rescue, the car was hit by Chris who was in distress again.

Everyone went to the neighborhood to ask for help, but they didn't expect to fall into the traps set by the perverted and deformed people...

As a result, the deformed people staged an ogre on the tip of their tongues.

The focus of this kind of horror film, that is, the horror, is naturally the process of massacre, but if the blood plasma and massacre scenes are repeated, it is easy to bring aesthetic fatigue, so as early as when the script was created, everyone's death method was deliberately paid attention to. Clear distinctions are made for added excitement.

The way of killing is different, so the way of eating is naturally different, some are eaten raw, some are fried, some are sliced ​​meat, and so on.

In this regard, director Guillermo del Toro gave full play to the imagination of an alternative director.

For example, a female character witnessed a freak killing several of her friends,

One of them was cut alive, made into raw slices, rolled in a frying pan, and eaten. The man was still alive when he ate, watching the ogre rinse his flesh...

The screams kept ringing out in the theater. I don't know if these people were scared in their minds or scared in their stomachs.

The United States has the most dramatic population of humans in the world, and no other country has so many potential food raw materials. In order to get this natural gift, the ogres cut with knives, hacked with axes, tore with their hands, and pulled with their teeth, not letting go of any delicious food.

This film will show the story of the ogre and the people behind the delicacy...

The plot of this film is compact, and the atmosphere is tense enough. From the beginning to the end, people's heart and stomach have been kept in a state of high tension.

People with weak stomachs are not suitable for watching this movie. The ogre on the tip of the tongue will make people spit it out.

But this is a traditional American horror film, and it is also the most popular type of horror film in North America in the past two decades.

Madness and dismemberment often appear in American horror movies.

Bloody dismemberment, violent fighting, perhaps this is a definition and summary of horror by old Americans.

Often in order to achieve a terrifying effect, the screen is filled with blood red and rust, dirty and old trucks, torture chambers far away from people, plus a few perverted murderers with ugly appearance and evil heart, this is the horror of old beauty, brought to the audience What's more is always just the visual stimulation and fear, not the psychological fear after watching.

Fatal Turn did not break out of these traditional settings.

Or Guillermo del Toro thought about jumping out, but was restricted by the producer Ronan.

Because this is not a pioneering film of the experimental genre, but a commercial horror film with a mature operating model.

Therefore, the routines in the film are in line with Lao Mei's consistent appreciation of horror films.

For example, a person who is deformed externally must be deformed internally.

For example, when dealing with a murderer, it is better to kill than escape, and he must be killed by any means at any time.

Look at traditional American horror films, the villains of the films are all good-looking enough to scare a cow to death.

In fact, if you analyze it carefully, the associated negative effects of the deformed appearance almost include the distortion of the mind.

In the face of these murderous monsters, as long as they escape, the subsequent plots are basically defeated one by one in the pursuit.

Like those who fought back, they survived.

These are all routines.

Perhaps, the only thing this film lacks is the erotic element, and the large-scale male and female scenes are a little less.

At the end of the film, the applause was very enthusiastic, and it seemed that the audience was quite satisfied with the film.

Ronan also specifically shook hands with Guillermo del Toro: Well done, a masterpiece of horror movies.

Such a film, not to mention how profitable it can be, but with proper publicity, it can always bring in a certain amount of profit, and then the sequels will continue to be filmed.

The applause lasted for two minutes, which was far worse than the premiere of The Bourne, but after all, it was just a horror movie.

Ronan did not participate in the subsequent press conference and other activities, and directly left the Capstone Theater and returned to Beverly Hills.

At the premiere, all kinds of statistics are in progress, especially the comments and ratings of the audience.

Most horror film lovers have a good evaluation of Fatal Turn.

Easy to understand, fascinating, bloody, weird, sudden sound and scene effects, all of these can be vividly reflected in this film!

A good movie, worth watching!

Excellent highway freak genre film with excellent action scenes!

I like horror and bloody movies like this.

Heavy taste, I like it!

As long as this type of film can please the horror film fan group, it is basically considered a success.

Passerby viewers rarely go to watch this type of horror film, after all, it is fundamentally different from horror films such as The Sixth Sense.

This kind of film is killing and bloody, and the audience is actually just trying to have fun.

Less than an hour after the premiere, the audience survey of the premiere from Cinema reached Ronan.

In a sample survey of 102 general audiences, Fatal Turns received an average score of B.

These are straight ratings from horror fans.

Just after midnight, the word-of-mouth ban on Rotten Tomatoes of Fatal Turns was lifted, and the critics' evaluations were unexpectedly messy. Rotten Tomatoes was marked as rotten, with a freshness of 43%, and the average score of film critics was 4.2.

At the same time, IMDB also lifted the ban on related ratings because the number of rating users reached the minimum limit, and the audience scored an average of 6.8 points.

For a horror film of plasma massacre, generally speaking, the reputation is not bad.

This type of film naturally has a low reputation, and even masterpieces such as Chain Saw do not have high ratings.

The media and film critics basically view such horror films with colored glasses.

In any case, Fatal Turns is much better than the quality of House of the Dead, which relies entirely on hype to attract people.

After all, Guillermo del Toro is not the famous king of bad movies like Uwe Ball.

After the premiere, this American-style horror film began to be fully released in North America, with 2,355 opening theaters, which is enough to ensure the coverage of Fatal Turns in the North American market.

The ingenious premiere of the film also attracted a lot of attention, especially the media reports, which effectively promoted the spread of the film.

Fatal Turns earned $7.35 million on its first day of release in North America, showing a good momentum.

This also makes the theater feel that the screen resources invested are worth the money.

On the second day of Saturday, Fatal Turn still maintained a good attendance rate, and the box office of 7.53 million US dollars also means that at least the first weekend can have a relatively stable box office trend.

In its three-day opening weekend, the film took in $20.1 million in North America.

In terms of box office revenue alone, Fatal Turns has been a success.

The filming and production of the sequel is inevitable.

In addition, even after three days of screenings on weekends, the audience's word-of-mouth of Fatal Turn is not bad, and the IMDB score has remained at around 6.5 points.

According to the forecast from Cinema, the North American box office of the film will eventually reach around 50 million US dollars.

Although compared to the public production cost of 20 million US dollars, such a box office result can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but for Ronan and Shahai Entertainment, Fatal Turn has achieved great success.

The settlement of the investment with Abu Dhabi will have to wait until the film is released overseas. Considering the speed at which horror films are released overseas, the full payment will have to wait until the end of this year or even the middle of next year at the earliest.

Ronan is not in a hurry to settle the settlement with the investors in Abu Dhabi. If they are willing to continue investing in Shahai Entertainment's film project, he welcomes them with his hands up. If they plan to withdraw their investment, then they should settle according to the prevailing rules of the contract and Hollywood.

Sandsea Entertainment does not lack new film projects. Ronan welcomes every foreign investor, especially overseas investors.

Those sequel projects, of course, are not in the ranks of accepting external investment, such as Human Purge 3 and Reaper 2, which are basically completed with the internal funds of Relativity Entertainment.

Sequel projects are less risky, more profitable, and there are successful models that can be applied, making filming and production relatively easier.

Ronan is also gradually letting go of this part. For example, the later Human Purge 3 will be completely handed over to George Clint to operate.

As long as the sequel project does not make any major innovations and changes, it will generally have a relatively long lifespan.

Innovation is the natural enemy of the usual success formula for sequel projects.

Ronan does not encourage innovation, but innovation must be moderate.
