Which monster movie is a shadow of your childhood?
As an important branch of the disaster thriller, films featuring ferocious beasts were all the rage in the 1980s and 1990s, giving birth to classic movies such as "The Scourge of the Python", "Killing Crocodile Pond", "Deep Sea Shark", "Jurassic Park" and so on.
The ferocious beasts of great white sharks, crocodiles, giant pythons, dinosaurs meet all the expectations of the audience for giant phobia.
In addition to the actual creatures, there are many fictional alien monsters that have also left a deep impression on the film and television, the most representative of which is the 1979 "Alien", the closed spaceship, the mysterious alien to kill the human race, the advanced shape design can be called a work of art.
"Strange Shape" is more boldly set in the deserted Antarctic continent, and the alien monsters and protagonists who can eat humans and then replace the victims stage a "battle royale".
The number of alien insects in "Galaxy Squad" is so large that it makes people's scalps tingle, and the fight scenes with the human army are extremely bloody and cruel, and the footage of the insect leader sucking human brains frightens many young audiences.
Whether it is film special effects or storylines, Hollywood films with mature industrial systems have become the benchmark of their global counterparts, and "American blockbusters" have become the box office guarantee that theaters flock to.
In 1997, James Cameron's Titanic set a global box office record of $1.843 billion, making it truly the first commercial blockbuster.
In addition to Jack's melancholy love story, the scene of the sinking of the giant ship in "Titanic" is another technological innovation of the film special effects industrial revolution.
The combination of physical models and computer stunts has made the film picture more realistic, and disaster films about the theme of shipwrecks have become market darlings. Chinese audiences have once again refreshed their understanding of American blockbusters.
In 1998, there was a phenomenon-level monster film "Godzilla", adapted from the Japanese work of the same name "Godzilla" amplified the audience's giant phobia, and the mountain-like Godzilla caused damage to the building and brought a huge shock to the audience.
Although Godzilla was not ideal at the box office that year, it did not prevent it from becoming the benchmark and topic of monster movies in 1998.
In the same year that Godzilla gained public attention, little was known about a disaster film depicting the Trolls of the Deep. The director throws a pair of mercenaries armed to the teeth onto a giant ship full of stumps and severed arms, only to be attacked by unknown sea monsters.
The victim was suddenly captured by the monster in the toilet, splashing blood all over the wall, which frightened many people.
After being digested by the monster, the spit out corpses are all over the cabin, coupled with the screams of the background dubbing, which is very visually impactful.
The sudden appearance of the giant octopus monster at the end of the film is still impressive to this day.
Because the consultation was not developed at that time, most people saw this film in CCTV6, and many people praised this film as a shadow of their childhood, and it is conceivable how big the scale of the movie played by CCTV6 at that time was.
At the end of the film, the protagonist and others fled to the island and found another giant monster, but this foreshadowing was 23 years.
Nonsense, let the fork bring you this monster movie that brings the audience childhood nightmares and depicts the deep-sea giants "ExtremeLy Deep Cold".
A speedboat speeds across the stormy Pacific Ocean. The male protagonist and two friends are entrusted by a mysterious gang to send them to a small island, and through a simple dialogue, the male protagonist knows that this gang is not a good person.
When the electrician overhauled the equipment, he found that the gang had placed a large number of heavy weapons on their ships, and even military-grade torpedoes.
Knowing that his robbery was discovered, the leader of the gang was just about to kill the electrician, but fortunately, the male protagonist threatened the gang members, and the two sides temporarily eased the tension.
Due to the bad weather, the speedboat's radar failed, but it suddenly crashed into a rescue ship that was adrift at sea.
Just as everyone was worried about the damage to the speedboat, they accidentally found a huge cruise ship not far away. The male protagonist proposes to go to the cruise ship to find parts that can be repaired, and the gang leader also informs everyone that the cruise ship is his target.
But when everyone boarded the cruise ship, they found that the ship was empty, leaving only the ground in chaos.
Just when everyone thought they were stepping on a ghost ship, they accidentally heard all kinds of strange noises, the members of the criminal gang disappeared one after another, and the leader suspected that it was the male protagonist who did it, just when the two sides were fighting again, they accidentally found the owner, the captain, and the heroine.
After the ship's owner narrated, it was learned that the cruise ship was attacked by a deep-sea monster that sucked the human body's water dry like a leech.
As the crowd prepares to flee the cruise ship, they discover that the creatures possess great intelligence, and they are banished like prey by monsters to hunt one area after another.
After investigation, the male protagonist also learns about the shipowner's conspiracy. It turned out that the owner of the ship owed a huge debt, this time he hired a criminal gang to rob the cruise ship, in order to defraud a huge amount of insurance money to make a windfall, learned that his plan was exposed, the ship owner killed several male protagonists.
The electrician and the man found that even if the speedboat was repaired, the amount of oil could not last more than a few minutes, but fortunately they found that there was a small island not far from them.
After experiencing a large number of casualties, only the male and female protagonists, the electrician 3 survived, but did not want the parts to fall in the middle of the repair speedboat, the male protagonist once again ventured back to the cruise ship and saw the true face of lushan of the sea monster.
The man who escaped from the mouth of the sea monster took the heroine on a motorboat and sailed to the island not far away.
The owner of the boat jumped on the speedboat, but did not want the man to set the course of the speedboat to hit the cruise ship, in a huge explosion, the cruise ship, the owner, and the sea monster were all blown to pieces.
The three protagonists who fled to the island thought there would be no more monsters, but suddenly found that in the jungle of the island, a giant was swimming and roaring, and it was obvious that the matter was not over.
"Extreme Cold" is good because it is mixed with horror thriller, adventure action, comedic humor and many other elements.
Several monster-eating scenes are gradual, one after the other, the mercenaries who are spit out by the tentacles and corroded into skeletons, and the entire cabin is covered with human corpses.
At the beginning of the film, the bridge section of the monster appearance is not directly shown to the audience, but the sword of the protagonist and the mercenary is used, and the two story lines of the giant cruise ship are crossed, and the cruise ship is attacked by the monster and sets off the first small climax of the whole film.
Unlike other monster horror films, where the characters are unarmed and ordinary, Extreme Cold cleverly sets the main characters as highly armed, armed mercenaries, which undoubtedly increases dramatic conflict and increases the movie's watchability.
In the film, why the mercenary carries so many heavy weapons has always been a puzzle that plagues the audience, and it also has a reasonable explanation for the progress of the story.
Compared with similar films that blindly increase the depressive atmosphere, "ExtremeLy Cold" is not a comedic baggage to regulate the audience's emotions, such as the robber leader who is ready to shoot himself when he is eaten by a sea monster, but finds that the clip without ammunition in the gun is full of black humor.
Speaking of which, Fork forks have to talk about Stephen Sommers, the director of "ExtremeLy Cold".
It was because of "ExtremeLy Cold" that the dude received public attention and launched a famous adventure blockbuster "The Mummy" a year later.
In addition to two Mummies, Stephen Sommers has directed two action films, Van Helsing, and Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra, both of which are well-regarded commercial masterpieces.
The reason why "ExtremeLy Cold" makes the audience remember is largely because of the suspense left at the end of the film, the protagonist and his party fled to the island but found that the island has been a huge monster in the jungle, coupled with the monster's huge roar, indicating that the protagonist's danger is still not over.
Many fans are looking forward to the end of "ExtremeLy Cold", and this knot is 23 years. Various rumors about the sequel to "ExtremeLy Cold" have been the focus of speculation.
As one of the many fans looking forward to the sequel to Extreme Cold. After many network verifications, fork fork here found three more reliable statements:
Statement 1:
Through data query, "Extreme Deep Cold" had a budget of $45 million at the time, but the actual box office was only $11.2 million, and for commercial films that made success or failure at the box office, "Extreme Deep Cold" was undoubtedly a loss-making deal.
Publisher Bo Wei Film Company naturally threw this "money-losing" renewal plan into the corner.
Statement 2:
In addition to the fiasco at the box office, the contemporaneous competitors of "ExtremeLy Cold" are simply gods, immortals, fights, fights.
In the same year, the same type of monster movie "Godzilla", has been enshrined in the war film "Saving Private Ryan", the disaster blockbuster "Heaven and Earth Collision", no matter who compares with whom, "Extreme Deep Cold" can not get cheap.
Even though the quality of "ExtremeLy Cold" is not low, he is not half cheap compared to these competitors.
Coupled with the fact that 1997's Titanic and Jurassic Park raised the audience's attention to a new level, "Extreme Cold" was buried in many Hollywood blockbusters.
Statement 3:
It cannot be seen from the destructive traces of the monster swimming in the jungle at the end of the film, this monster should be a slender body similar to a giant python, and in the 2017 release of "Kong: Skull Island", a slender snake-like creature also appeared.
The same monster movie, coupled with the fact that both films are set on a desert island in the South Pacific, undoubtedly hints at the connection between the two films.
However, this statement is all wishful thinking of netizens, first of all, the copyright of "ExtremeLy Cold" is in Bowei Film Company, and the copyright of "King Kong: Skull Island" is in Universal and Legendary Pictures.
Originally it was the work of two companies, fork fork did not find several companies in "Extreme Deep Cold" have cooperation projects, coupled with the "Extreme Deep Cold" IP can only be regarded as applause, can not be regarded as a seat, there is no value of development, this statement does not hold.
The so-called sequel to "ExtremeLy Deep Cold" is "Kong: Skull Island" is not reliable, but some netizens with big brains have listed "Alien Awakening", "Extreme Deep Cold" and "King Kong Skull Island" as the pre-positive sequel, which is also a round of everyone's obsession.
