Hello everyone, today bring you a fantasy adventure movie "Goosebumps". Although the Douban score was only 6.2 points, it barely reached the passing line. But it's a very interesting popcorn movie. It is a horror comedy film produced by Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment Co., Ltd., and is based on the best-selling phenomenon series of novels of the same name by the famous American suspense master R.L. Stein. His starring role is Jack Blake, who has starred in the fantasy adventure movie "King Kong" in 2005 and "Gulliver's Travels", and has also voiced Ah Bao in the Kung Fu Panda movie, starred in many wonderful works, and is a powerful actor.
The production cost of the entire film is 58 million US dollars, and the box office is only 150 million US dollars, which can be said to be very average. Although the production cost is not as good as Hollywood blockbusters, and the word of mouth is not very good, I personally think this film is still full of watching, very suitable for popcorn movies. I believe that many horror novel lovers are very familiar with the name R.L. Stein, he is a famous American thriller writer, his goosebumps series of books, has become a childhood shadow of many people. From evil puppets, to furious blood monsters, to flying vampires, and vicious ghouls. The various monsters of American myth and legend are gathered together, which makes people have to admire the author's brain hole, and it is no wonder that R.L. Stan can be called a super suspense master. And his goosebumps series is the largest selling children's series in history, with a total of 450 million copies sold worldwide, and some even call him Stephen King of children's literature. His work was named the best-selling author by USA Today for three consecutive years, and even Stephen King was behind him. Not only is the series of books very best-selling, but even the remake into a TV series is also very hot, and the ratings have occupied the first place for four consecutive years, and we are talking about his remake of the same name movie today.
The biggest feature of this movie is that it brings together all the monsters in the "Goosebumps" series of books, which is a eye-catching change compared to the fact that each monster in the original book is an independent story, and even the author himself appears in the film. Let's talk about the story setting of the whole movie: the monster created by the author is not just a virtual character in the book, but becomes a reality, a monster that can exist in the real world. So the author locked every book, and as long as the book wasn't opened, the world was safe. But if it is opened, the monster will jump out of the book and come to the real world to harm the human world and endanger people's safety. Of course, horror movies like this generally require a few dead people to start the plot, otherwise they don't have to watch. These people are Zach sitting in the neighbor's house and his friend Pranpu, and the two of them break into the author's home for some reason, and the result is to successfully release the monster in the book.
The first monster to be released, is also a very classic one in the sitting book, a very classic one, that is, the snow monster that has gone on a rampage. Although this snow monster is very stupid. He also likes to eat candy, but monsters are monsters, and the destructive power is still very amazing. After the monster escapes, the author's daughter Hannah, sees the released monster and knows that something is wrong, and immediately chases it out with the book, while Zach and Chapp, who know that they have done something bad, also immediately chase them out. Although he experienced a fierce battle of wits and courage, he still did not receive the monster in the book, and in the end, the author was reliable and arrived in time to take the monster back.
I thought that the story would come to an end at this point, but I didn't think that there were more exciting and exciting things waiting for them, it turned out that after the snow monster was released, there was another monster that was released at the same time, this monster was not a stupid and cute snow monster, but a sinister and cunning doll, although it was very small, it didn't look like a threat, but it was the biggest boss of the whole movie, and it was also the most classic villain in the original work. Resentful that the doll had been locked in the book for so long, it decided to take revenge on all humans, not only burning the book, but also releasing all the monsters and starting to wreak havoc in the town. Next is that the protagonists began to save the town in danger, and the plot behind them will not be explained in detail one by one, suspected of spoilers, interested friends can go to see for themselves.
The most impressive thing here is a group of dwarf porcelain dolls, these seemingly harmless little things, but there are a lot of tricks, making the protagonists fart, and the process of the protagonist and these little guys fighting is also a very wonderful point to watch. Several storey-high giant mantises, vampire predators werewolves, ghouls in the cemetery, these are also very exciting to watch.
Although the definition of this film is a horror film, I personally feel that it is not, but a fantasy adventure film full of fantasy colors. Although the monsters are all very scary monsters in American mythology, they do not show how terrible they are in this movie, but bring a sense of comedy. At the same time, it also shows what kind of actions everyone will do in the face of the things they least want to face, and how the protagonists will untie the happy knot step by step. Although it is a horror comedy, it can give people a sense of healing.
By the end of the story, it is not over, and the invisible boy who once appeared in the play has laid a deep foreshadowing, which can be said to pave the way for the next step. Although many characters have not returned in the second part, the actors who played the author are still there, but the actors who play the main roles are still there. The villain is also there, and he has also joined a surprising role, that is, the little fat man in "Joker Returns". The second part is set on Halloween, which is very much in line with the bizarre plot of goosebumps. Overall, although the rating of this movie is not high, it is a popcorn movie that is very suitable for the whole family to watch together, and without further ado, I am ready to go back to the three brushes now.
