Next week is Halloween (October 31).
Toxic friends asked Sir to recommend the right tablets.
The requirements are both "to make the girlfriend scream and throw herself into my arms" and "warm and funny and cute".
It's really hard for you to serve.
Sir thought about it for half a day, only this series is suitable for you.
Hotel Transylvania 1 and 2
Sir, I'll tell you.
The first "Elf Hostel" was released in 2012.
"Variety" magazine once commented that this film is "suitable for all people over the age of 10 to watch, scary, and warm and funny.".
The "horror" is that all the protagonists in the film are familiar monsters - vampires, Frankensteins, and werewolves.
However, you probably never thought that these monsters can be so "cute".
Seriously, is this a werewolf or a "wolf dog"?
The Elven Hostel is named after Transylvania, the birthplace of the legend of count Dracula the vampire.
But the character image has nothing to do with the ancient vampire, not a dime.
In previous movies, vampires were either spooky and bloodthirsty.
The most famous vampire in the history of cinema, "Northferatu" (Northferatu)
Either handsome and noble.
The most famous vampire in the hearts of the girls (The Vampire Diaries)
In this film, Dracula becomes a long-faced single father who loves to nag.
He raised his daughter Mephis alone.
Not only has he never sucked human blood.
Even fear of humans.
After the transformation, it is just a small furry bat, which poses no threat to humans.
Director Geundy Tartagovsky once expressed great disdain for the vampires in "Twilight", who only talk about love.
So he borrowed Dracula's mouth in the film and blackened "Twilight".
That's how humans play us, which is an exaggeration.
In order to protect her daughter, Dracula built a castle far away from humans, called the "Scream Hostel".
Every year, other monster friends are invited to celebrate their daughter's birthday.
But Mephis, a 118-year-old vampire girl, longs for freedom.
At the birthday party, she meets Jonathan, a human teenager who accidentally breaks in, and the two fall in love at first sight.
Dracula had to do whatever it took to stop the two from interacting.
The film's jokes focus on Dracula and his monster friends.
These monsters are completely different from our impressions, they love to take saunas, love to party, noisy, noisy, and mess around.
The werewolves became superhumaniacs, tossed to bloodshots every day by the number of wolf children on two soccer teams.
The mummy is an excited, big-ass fat guy.
Frankenstein, the Frankenstein, has also become a warm-hearted uncle, and various parts of his body are often wrong.
He also has a Latin accent, the visual bride (far left) of Sophia Vegala in Modern Family.
There are also skeletons whose bodies are crossed by other people's hands and will be shy to hit people.
In addition, the waiter in the castle actually wants to steal the obscene zombie of the plastic female model.
Director Geendi explains his whimsical ideas this way:
I didn't want to make any physical comedy, but I wanted to make a character comedy. All comedic elements must be emitted from the character's internal personality, not superficial.
As for the theme of the film, the combination of "conservative father + rebellious daughter" is also depicted in a funny way.
In order to dispel the idea that his daughter wanted to go outside to see, the father asked the zombies to pretend to be fierce humans to scare their daughters.
But in the end, in order to help her daughter recover her boyfriend, she did not hesitate to turn herself into a bat and chase the plane with smoke.
In the end, he also realized that "letting go" can make his daughter happier.
I believe that the most famous line in this film can make everyone's heart move.
I always thought the worst-case scenario would be if you left me.
In fact, what makes me most sad is that you are not happy.
When the film was released in the United States on Halloween in 2012, it broke the September box office record in North American film history and eventually won $358 million at the global box office for $85 million.
Three years later, on Halloween, October 27, Elf Hostel 2 is back.
The new story is set seven years after the first part.
Dracula accepted the human son-in-law, and the Scream Hostel began to open to humans.
At the same time, Dracula welcomed a little grandson of human and vampire hybrids.
In order to unleash his grandson's vampire potential, Dracula did everything in his power.
But the daughter wanted to move with her grandson.
At this time, Dracula's father Vlad also made a surprise visit.
Unable to accept his granddaughter's love for humans, the stodgy Vlad decided to destroy the inn in a fit of rage.
To deal with the relationship with her grandson, daughter and father at the same time, Dracula began to be overwhelmed.
Judging from the preview released now, "Selling Cute" is not worse than the previous work.
The brilliant characters in the previous concentration continue to perform their respective duties.
The werewolf becomes a "wolf dog" terrier that never tires.
Dracula himself learned to pretend to be pitiful.
The newly added little grandson is a master of selling cuteness.
Even Dracula,the most intimidating looking dad, is super good at telling "cold jokes."
He said the mummy was a lump of "talking toilet paper."
The voice of this character is Mel Brooks, a leading figure in the American comedy world.
The nearly 90-year-old has won Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and Tony Awards for his many self-written and self-directed comedies.
The New Frankenstein, nominated for an Oscar adaptation in 1974, was his work.
Director Geendi is his fan.
This time, "Elf Hostel 2" was produced by Sony over two years.
Unlike the previous game, the writing team of this sequel also included Adam Sandler, who voiced Dracula in the film.
As an actor who has acted in at least 50 comedies, I believe that adding funny passages to the play should be easy for him.
In addition, the place where the story takes place is not limited to the castle in the first part, and many new scenes have been added.
Examples include outdoor lakes, vampire camps.
In order to ensure the "horror and comedy" style of the film, the animators used the classic horror film "Friday 13th" and the haunted house scene in "Ghost Cry" as a reference when creating these scenes.
With a newly developed system, Genndy Blur, these scenes are colorful and less terrifying.

It is said that the animation effects alone took 105 special effects artists to complete in 10 months.
Now, in its first week of release in North America on September 25, the film easily won the weekend box office with a score of $47.5 million, and broke the record for the opening of North American film history in September held by the previous film.
Word-of-mouth is also improved compared to the previous game.
The Hollywood Reporter:
The film is more attentive in terms of characters and story than before (although all of them have developed into pranks), and the return of director Gehendi Tartagovsky has ensured an upgrade in the quality of the film.
ABC commented:
If you don't have much prejudice against Adam Sandler and his work, I think even the most mean critics would agree that the film is extremely ornamental.
In an article in the "There is Drama" column of the surging news, the author HaDaba also rated "Elf Hostel 2" as a better animation than "Mind Task Force" this year.
Because the grandfather took care of the third generation instead of the second generation, it is a new change in American society today. therefore:
Its family fun is really up to date. Not only does it have the inspirational, warm and funny that are common in Hollywood animated feature films, but it also cares about the changes in real society.
So, if you're looking for a movie this Halloween that both "scares" you and makes you laugh.
Sir thinks Elf Hostel 2 is a good choice.
