Recently, there is a strange movie that exploded.
The first weekend of the release was airborne in North America, second only to "American Civil War".
Moreover, this achievement was achieved under the R classification.
Because of the excessive bloody and violent scenes, it was also rated as a "third-class film" when it was released in Hong Kong.
Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness of 84%, which is an entertainment film with a good reputation.
Not long after the film was launched, Uncle Yu came to talk to you about this fierce film.
Bloodthirsty Ballet
Abigail
The main creative team of this film is quite eye-catching.
The heroine is 15-year-old Alyssa Weir.
The people are small and big, and they are full of aura.
Two years ago, he rose to prominence with "Matilda the Musical".
Since then, he has gradually become a new generation of child stars in Hollywood.
One of the leading actors, Melissa Barrera.
The high-value heroine is responsible.
The previous "Scream 5 &6" were all impressive.
and Dan Stevens, the "big cousin" of "Downton Abbey".
This time, he combed his big back and wore a pair of glasses, and he was still handsome and charming.
In addition, "Uncle Fried Chicken" Giancarro Esposito is also here.
This time, he still plays the role of a mysterious boss.
After "Breaking Bad", every time I watched him, I felt that he must not be a good person.
It is worth mentioning that there is also Angus Claude in the cast.
He previously impressed everyone in "Excitement".
Unfortunately, he passed away last year.
Therefore, this film has also become his screen posthumous work.
In addition, there is a big star cameo easter egg at the end.
Uncle Yu won't spoil it here.
The two directors of this film: Matt Bettinelli-Orping and Taylor Gillette.
The two have collaborated on many popular thriller horror films.
Such as "Deadly Videotape", "Scream 5 &6" and so on.
Scream 6
But they're not just stuck in the old ways.
Instead, he is good at subverting genres and telling seemingly clichéd stories to surprise.
It's like the previous "Are You Ready".
At first glance, I just thought it was the story of a girl who met an evil family.
Unexpectedly, the plot took a turn and finally went beyond everyone's expectations.
The same is true for this "Bloodthirsty Ballet".
In the beginning, various characters appeared one after another.
Their goal was to kidnap a 12-year-old girl.
After the girl finished practicing the ballet, she was taken away by them halfway.
The gang of criminals took the girl to a mansion.
They didn't know who the girl was or what she was going to do.
I was just told to keep an eye on her in this house.
After 24 hours, you will be able to get a ransom of 50 million.
In the eyes of these six kidnappers with special skills, this is naturally an easy thing to do.
So, they began to think of their own pastimes to spend the 24 hours.
Some drink, some sleep, and some wander around.
Until midnight, something strange happened.
Someone heard screaming coming from the basement.
The following is a high-energy warning!
Follow the sound and find that it is another drunk teammate, thinking that he is playing a prank again.
As a result, walk in slowly and touch it lightly.
Teammates' heads.
Rolled to the ground.
With a scream, everyone woke up.
Only then did you realize that something was not quite right here.
How did a teammate die?
Who killed him?
Is the murderer one of them?
There were so many suspicions that the whole team was going to fall apart.
It was at this moment that something even stranger happened.
All doors and windows were shut.
They have become turtles in an urn.
They wanted to question the kidnapped girl.
Unexpectedly, there were incredible changes in her body.
I saw her easily break free from the handcuffs.
Then his face changed drastically, revealing a mouth full of fangs and claws.
It turns out that the little girl who seems to be harmless to humans and animals is the most dangerous existence.
Several fierce criminals have become her prey.
The biggest surprise in this film is the reversal of the plot.
At first, I thought it was a crime movie, but I didn't expect the plot to take a sharp turn for the worse.
The kidnapped little girl turned out to be a vampire who had lived for 300 years.
The so-called kidnapping was actually planned by her.
All she wants is to torture and eat her prey in this house.
Suddenly, the movie turns into a fantasy horror film against vampires.
"Bloodthirsty Ballet" also doesn't follow the same path as other vampire themes.
Although it is a horror movie, it is not brainless horror.
On the contrary, there are quite a few interesting gags in between.
For example, when everyone saw the little girl transform for the first time, they all expressed disbelief.
Some people started asking about vampires.
As a result, the strong man said, "They don't exist."
Again, someone asked what types of vampires there were.
As a result, vampire-themed works such as "Night Interview with Vampire", "True Love Like Blood" and "Twilight" were pulled out one by one and became models.
Finally, someone got to the point.
"How do you kill a vampire?"
Another immediately replied that they were afraid of the sun.
But.
It's three o'clock in the middle of the night.
It was mentioned that vampires were afraid of garlic.
The other immediately went to the kitchen to find it.
As a result, the criminals, who did not distinguish between grains, brought onions.
These jokes are just appetizers.
The real hard dish has to be the hunt of vampires.
It can be said that the display of vampire hunting in the film can be called the largest scale in recent years.
The most striking thing is the endless amount of plasma.
Once transformed, his face was covered in blood.
As if she was afraid that people would not know that she had just bitten someone and sucked blood.
Small-scale ones can be found everywhere.
I saw the little girl leap and press on the strong man.
He snatched the chain of the cross from the other person's hand, used it as a knife, and stabbed it in the chest over and over again.
After a while, blood splattered and soaked the clothes.
Add more, it's a vampire biting the neck.
Tearing off the skin and flesh is terrifying.
Then take advantage of the bleeding and suck hard.
The scale is the most violent, and it can be called a vampire who dies by seeing the light.
Unlike previous vampire movies, Sunlight, while deadly, also has a slow process of burning to death.
And in this film, it exploded directly on the spot.
There was no superfluous reaction, the sun shone and blood rained.
The process of transforming vampires is also quite heavy.
He vomited blood on the spot, as if he was about to vomit up the human blood in his body.
The eldest cousin is in the film, and there is a nearly 20-second blood-vomiting plot.
The amount of blood is huge, and it directly set a record for the longest blood vomiting in film history.
All in all, the "plasma" in the crew doesn't seem to need money.
Bucket by bucket filled, bucket by bucket fried.
The logistics cleaning is estimated to be in tears.
It can be said that this film is a hodgepodge.
Thankfully, this hybrid isn't embarrassing.
From crime to horror, from escape rooms to outwitting vampires.
From kidnapping the little girl, to being hunted by the little girl, and finally becoming a girl helping girl to join forces to kill the evil man.
Truth be told, almost every reversal of "Bloodthirsty Ballet" is a surprise.
The art style is a bit messy, but it's also really entertaining.
Such a mixture of genres is precisely one of the highlights of this film.
In this way, it gives new ideas to horror films, comedies and other themes that are difficult to innovate.
In fact, the methods used in "Bloodthirsty Ballet" can be traced in film history.
This is the case with Quentin's "Deus Ex Dawn," which he wrote as a screenwriter back then.
It was originally a road crime movie.
Later, it became the Great Zombie Escape.
The style of painting is unreasonable, but it is really cool to watch.
And the plot of the little girl turning from an innocent to a villain also seems familiar.
For example, "Orphan Resentment".
The beginning of warmth, but the end of horror.
seems to be an ignorant and naïve child, but he is the boss behind the scenes who controls everything.
Similarly, the sense of comedy brought by subversive genre can also be seen in "Cabin in the Woods".
Originally, I just thought it was another cliché horror movie.
But with the emergence of various horror elements, as well as plots such as scientific experiments and the destruction of evil spirits, this makes people feel wrong.
It turns the horror routines of the past on its head and makes a hodgepodge.
Not only is it cool to watch, but it also refreshes everyone's understanding of horror movies.
"Blood-Eating Ballet" also gives people a similar sense of brain hole.
Whether it is the mixture of painting styles or the subversion of genres, it makes everyone have a little more freshness to the declining horror theme.
There is horror and thriller, action and fantasy.
There is a comedic effect, and there is also a warm landing point.
What's more, all these materials are cleverly blended together, and there is no strong sense of separation.
It's a relaxing and entertaining meal.
