Watching movies that feel like you can suffocate, the first horror movie, watching can make people's adrenaline rise, beat faster, feel fear. The most brilliant horror film is a psychological horror film, the props of the film are very simple, the plot suspense is continuous, constantly creating conflicts, guiding the audience step by step, and finally reaching the climax of fear.
The 2010 Lionsgate Films film Buried Alive is one such film.
"Buried Alive", just listening to the name, I feel very scary. The film is set in Iraq, where a Contractor Paul of the United States is kidnapped in Iraq, and when he wakes up, he lies in a coffin and is thrown underground in an unknown place in Iraq...
Everyone knows what it feels like to suffocate, the air is thin, breathless, scratching with your hands, headaches, scratching with your hands in vain, and finally gradually losing consciousness... Paul certainly knew that his life, with little time left, he had to save himself in a limited amount of time.
Paul had a lighter, a knife, a cell phone, and, scarily, it was running out of battery.
If the people on the ground can't find Paul, then he will die; if Paul's mobile phone battery runs out, then he will lose contact with the outside world, and he will die; the coffin is dark, and Paul is lying in a small space, as if he is waiting to die...
From beginning to end, this film is controlling your emotions, making your emotions fluctuate with the fate of the protagonist, and as time goes by, hope slowly disappears like the oxygen in the coffin, making people feel a sense of oppression.
Paul first called the man who had hired him, who was also the one who had buried him alive. The man said he was not a terrorist, that someone had hired him to do so. Paul said, I am not a member of the military, the military hired me to rebuild the country for you, and the other side said coldly, who wants you to rebuild, you destroyed the country.
War is the culprit, it has created many humanitarian disasters, let innocent people die, but the funny thing is that some people are glorifying the war, thinking that the disasters created by the war will gradually disappear with the end of the war.
Paul called his mother, whose father had died, who was Alzheimer's and could not remember having a son. Paul called his wife and friends again, and the wives and friends actively helped Paul, and they reacted to the media and expanded their influence. Under pressure from the media, the military finally took action and set up a rescue team.
It seems that everything is developing in a good way, but the vast sea of people, it is difficult to find someone, not to mention the people buried in the ground, at this time, the indifference of bureaucracy is revealed, each department is prevaricating, shirking responsibility from each other, the rescue team seems to be busy, but it is doing useless work, and with the passage of time, the audience also sees that it is difficult for Paul to be rescued.
Ordinary people are so small in front of interest groups, and interest groups will not use a lot of resources for an obscure ordinary person.
At the end of the film, the members of the rescue team are shouting loudly, and a light shines down, and the audience thinks that Paul has been rescued, but the film is over. It was an open-ended ending, and perhaps the director didn't want to disappoint the audience, but the audience knew that Paul wasn't rescued.
After watching this movie, I feel very depressed, netizens said that the coffin in the movie is like a black hole, then our life, why not a black hole.
From the beginning of our birth, life has entered the countdown, as we grow up, you will find that the world is very cold, people and people, seemingly very close, but the distance of the heart is far away.
Everyone is looking for a way out, running blindly, and sometimes, knowing that there is no hope, they will try to hold on.
Technology deepens people's loneliness, and everyone is a lonely planet.
Some horror movies, watching, make people feel terrible, this is an ordinary horror movie, some horror movies, let people in the horror, but also cause thinking, such horror movies are more worthy of recommendation.
