In the third week of October, 2010, "Smart: Ghost Record 2" debuted strongly, locking in the upcoming Thanksgiving and Halloween schedules, looking forward to continuing the glory of the previous work; at the same time, including "Buried alive" Four independent works of art have been screened in the art theaters one after another. The market that has quieted down after the summer holiday is finally showing signs of recovery due to the arrival of the year-end holiday.

But beyond everyone's expectations, in the midnight battle, it was actually "buried alive" to seize the opportunity!

The particularity of the midnight show is destined that only a certain group of fans will go to the cinema to watch it in the first time. As a horror movie, the previous work has accumulated an excellent reputation, and many audiences are right. The sequel expresses great expectations. However, going out to watch the movie at midnight and then going home in the middle of the night is definitely an act of challenging courage, and only a very small part of the audience will do so.

Therefore, the midnight performance of "Smart: Ghost Record 2" can only be described as mediocre and lacklustre.

In comparison, the “buried alive” screenings held in eleven theaters successfully ignited the audience’s enthusiasm. According to incomplete statistics, all three theaters sold out, and the average of the eleven theaters sold out. Attendance rate has also reached 60%.

Incredible! Absolutely incredible! This is true for any movie! What's more, without the appeal of the director, nor the appeal of the top big-name actors, or even any publicity, the film can achieve such a result, it is even more jaw-dropping!

From box office receipts at midnight to instant online discussion, "Buried Alive" is the leading work of "Smart: Ghost Record 2" that was released. The miracle came out and completely detonated the topic! The work "Buried alive" was further pushed to the forefront!

"The crew of'Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5'watched'Buried Alive' as a group, and they are full of praise!"

"Len Li-Hall appeared in surprise, and interacted with fans after watching the movie."

"It's hard to get a ticket for the midnight show.'Buried alive' writes the miracle of the dark horse."

"Van Diesel: This is an excellent film, waiting for more audiences to discover its charm."

"Paul Walker: This is my favorite movie this year, without a doubt."

"The photo wall, Facebook, and the Yahoo community, "Buried Alive" fully compromised the social network, they are hot!"

"The biggest surprise of 2010!'Buried alive' staged a dark horse counterattack, making a strong debut in the awards season!"

...

For two days on Friday and Saturday, the news about "Buried alive" was buzzing and endless. It seemed that the news about this work was endless and there was no end in sight, even the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" crew about the transfer of divisions. In Rio de Janeiro’s latest official report, the “buried alive” information was also mentioned. Although it was just a casual mention, the effect of dissemination was not trivial.

Although, with the advancing of time, "Smart: Ghost Record 2" gradually regained the initiative in its hands. After all, it is a full-scale release of more than 3,000 theaters. The audience flow is naturally not of the same level. There is only one this week. When a new film is released, there is no competition at all.

However, the "buried alive" news has not been completely submerged, and it is still mixed in with perseverance, and even because of the type of horror and suspense, it has been compared with "Smart: Ghost Record 2" by many lively media likes. It is believed that these two works of the same type are likely to usher in more intense competition in the next Halloween schedule.

Unconsciously, even "Smart: Ghost Record 2" has become a "buried alive" propaganda medium, which is really dumbfounding.

During the vigorous propaganda war, film critics also came out to join in the fun and add firewood.

Although at the Toronto Film Festival, "Buried alive" ushered in a lot of praise, even if there are some criticisms, it still can't stop the film's win-win reputation among film critics and audiences; but Toronto is only Toronto, compared to that film. For a land known for its friendliness and politeness, people still care more about North American media reviews.

Karina-Longworth of "USA Today" gave a super high rating of 91 points, "Unexpected turn, ups and downs of drama, rhythm without urine, and an atmosphere of horror... All the audience's expectations for a thriller and suspense movie can be found in the film "Buried Alive". Of course, there is also an unexpected surprise: Lanly Hall."

Rene-Rodriguez (Rene-Rodriguez) in the "Chicago Tribune" published comments without hesitation in his praise, "This work dedicated to the thrill, excitement, suspense, fear, let all other thriller movies this year. It looks like inferior plastic; and the excellent performance by Lan Li-Hall makes his peers look like children playing in the mud on the beach.” An evaluation of 88 points for one For horror movies, it's really rare.

"The success of this film is not only because it successfully created enough drama in a narrow limited space, but also because the director's accurate grasp of the atmosphere and light successfully created a terrifying nightmare, and more because Hall dedicated one of the top ten outstanding performances this year." This is from Bill-Goodykoontz (Bill-Goodykoontz) published in the "New York Post" comment, he also gave 80 Eight points affirmation.

Rick-Moore of the "San Francisco Chronicle" scored eighty points, with a succinct comment, "Just when you thought he had nowhere to escape, he attacked again and took your breath away!"

"Interestingly, we usually go to the cinema to seek enjoyment, but the director Rodriguez-Cortez concocted a terrifying, horrifying, terrifying, and frightening movie. Everyone who walks into the cinema The audience was tortured and almost survived. This may not be a journey of enjoyment, but it is undoubtedly a magical and wonderful film journey. More importantly, Lanly-Hall’s dedication The wonderful performance, he is the kind of actor who'acts better than the movie', and it is truly enjoyable."

This is from Shawn-Levy's film review published in "Empire" magazine. He gave a high score of ninety points and gave the film enough praise from a different perspective.

Praise, praise, or praise, the unanimous voice of praise from the authoritative mainstream media is consistent with Toronto, once again making people clearly feel the unstoppable power of this thriller film; however, the first batch of comments this time also ushered in In order to disagree with disagreements, apart from criticism, there is also neutrality.

Although Ann-Hornaday of the "Washington Post" gave praise, but the score was only 70 points. In the comments, she said, "A well-made, perfectly executed thriller film, for For Renly Hall, it is undoubtedly a blockbuster debut. Is this a pleasant ninety minutes? No, but for genre movies, it is undoubtedly a success and chilling. But now, I am going to leave. ."

The witty humor in the words can be seen. She is not too cold with thriller movies. Even if it is praise, the score is still not high. Probably the reason is here.

Amy-Nicholson (Amy-Nicholson) scored 65 points, "You have to remind yourself all the time, breathe."

This is a comment published in the "Times" weekly magazine. There is no doubt about its authority. At the same time, you can see the overall mentality of the mainstream media——

They are always more demanding on thriller horror films. In the entire long history of Oscars, only four horror films have won the best picture nomination, and the last horror film nominated for the final Oscar competition was eleven years ago. The sixth sense of the supernatural", even for Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining", the media review only has 61 points.

Now, the same is true for "Buried alive". The film critics of the "Washington Post" and "Times" have given positive feedback, but the scores are not high. Obviously, they are all looking forward to more things, at least not the fear and fear of "surprise".

Naturally, critical negative comments are also inevitable in any thriller movie-"Buried alive" is no exception.

"Variety" magazine and "Hollywood Reporter" are listed as the most important industry professional magazines in Hollywood. Their opinions are undoubtedly crucial. At the Toronto Film Festival before, the "Hollywood Reporter" did not hesitate to "bury alive". "Send a word of praise, but "Variety Show" has a completely different attitude.

In the comments, Stedphen-Holden stated, “In this cheap and crude movie, just as the actor Paul was in desperate situation, a poisonous snake rushed into the pine box that trapped him. This undoubtedly pushes the terrible plot of the movie and the drama of the dog blood to the extreme. Only relying on this moment, the movie can be included in the ranks of the most boring horror script in history."

A mere 30 points, this is the second 30 points after "Voice of the Village" in Toronto's film reviews, and is listed as the lowest score of "Buried Alive" so far.

Obviously, Steven is not alone. Wesley-Morris of The Boston Post also expressed similar views. The evaluation of fifty points is not much better~www.novelhall.com~Buried alive' It's...a better movie than Twilight, but it still can't hide its stupidity and blood. "

In addition, Mary-Gronvall is also a strong supporter of the opposition on the "New Yorker", "This is a movie about ordinary people, society, and the country. The work is both thrilling. It has the advantages of stimulating and stimulating, but unfortunately, the director’s self-righteousness and arrogance in the last few minutes ruined all the efforts of the entire film. Such an ending is not only pretentious, but also extremely stupid."

Mary also only gave fifty points, and the words will turn her eyes quite a bit of hatred for iron and steel.

Support, neutral, oppose; praise, pertinence, and criticism. "Buried alive" aroused the enthusiasm of film critics, and the heated discussions appeared in major media. This is undoubtedly a rare treatment for a film that is screened. It is written by 29 professional media. Commented——

In contrast, the number of reviews for the other three works of art that were screened this week did not add up to 20, while the number of reviews for the first batch of "Smart: Ghost Record 2" was 23.

After the explosion, the counterattack was completed once again, and the popularity of "buried alive" is really unstoppable!
