Eli Rose, who is very popular in the circle, can act, write, direct, and looks good, and could have become a generation of mainstream stars.
A still from Quentin's "Inglourious Basterds".
But this gentleman is just a horror movie's "poison only".
After graduating with honors from New York University's film department, he began to mix in various horror film crews, large and small.
group actors, stand-ins and assistants, it can be said that the secrets behind horror movies have been explored from all angles.
When introducing Eli Rose's new film "Thanksgiving" a few days ago, I mentioned his famous work "Human Skin Inn" series.
Today, let's take a good look -
Human Skin Inn
Hostel
I have to admit that human beings have a kind of primal pleasure when they peep at violence.
Therefore, the "slasher film" (slasher film) that sells blood plasma has never lacked audiences.
This enduring genre in American horror films, in the early years, used the haunting "killer" as a template for the industry.
For example, Jason wearing a baseball mask in "Friday the 13th", Freddy with steel claws in his hand in "Ghost Street", and Miles holding a kitchen knife in "Moonlight Panic".
All are iconic products of that era.
After a period of "aesthetic" fatigue, the campus and youth elements were mixed in again.
Fresh blood such as "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" once again gave the "hack and slash movie" a seductive vitality.
The human skin inn series may be a little less famous, but the excitement is definitely not far behind.
片名"Hostel"也被译作杀人欲室,总共三部成曲。
The last one is a little dog-tailed mink, so don't mention it.
The plots of the first two parts are roughly similar, the only difference is that the second part changes the protagonist from a male to an eye-catching beauty.
Which one is recommended first, you don't need to say more about the evil king~
The three heroines are from the United States, they are art college students, and they used their vacation to study in Rome, which has a strong heritage.
The rich second-generation Beth (Lauren German) is the most mature and stable one of them.
The beautiful Whitney (Beyo Phillips) is amorous by nature.
And the unattractive Lorna (Heather Matarazzo) is shy and shy.
In a body photo class full of Italian unrestrained style, a glamorous model named Erik (Vera Jordanova) catches the attention of the girls.
Unexpectedly, after class, she took the initiative to talk to the girls.
Without much thought, Beth informed the other party of her plans to travel to the Czech Republic.
When Eric learned about it, he showed a strange smile at their backs.
Sure enough, on the train to Prague, the protagonist and his party "encountered" Eric again.
She casually helped the girls get rid of the harassment of the gangsters, and also gained the trust and favor of the girls.
After that, Erik volunteered to be a free tour guide for the three girls, and promised to take them to a spa town in Slovenia -
It's a much more romantic and comfortable place than Prague.
Beth, who was unfamiliar with the place, had to follow Erik's advice and go with her to an old inn.
After receiving their passports, the front desk of the hotel also showed a knowing smile.
Soon, a huge conspiracy emerged.
As soon as I turned around, the front desk uploaded the photos of the girls to the Internet and marked the price.
On the other side, all kinds of rich people began to compete for each other like auctions.
It turns out that this is a mysterious underground organization that specializes in capturing lonely tourists for the world's rich to kill and vent.
And this hotel, along with the model Aric, is one of the "bait" of the organization.
On the night the girls check in, the killing game kicks in.
Lorna, who is desperately eager for love due to low self-esteem, is the first to be set.
She was a female noblewoman who won the bid.
She hung poor Lorna upside down and let the blood spill on her body like an evil ritual of "rejuvenation".
Next is the amorous Whitney, who is also tricked because of her character.
In the end, even the steady Beth was not spared and fell under the temptation of Eric.
Of course, the so-called "hack and kill movie" is not only for the killing of the protagonists, but also for the counter-killing.
Which of the three heroines can fight their way out and escape?
The three "Human Skin Inn" are not very related, and you can choose the order of viewing at will.
The only common denominator is the exaggerated and aesthetic "plasma" bombardment.
Each piece has a plasma dosage of more than 1200 catties, which is not a joke~
The director, who has been studying horror films for many years, has successfully integrated and upgraded many classic elements, coupled with the bad taste of Quentin. That's why there is such a unique new era of slasher film.
