Perhaps because of the horror atmosphere at the premiere, as soon as the movie was released, an inexplicable tension appeared in the theater, and the air seemed to start to stagnate, as if a bomb would explode at any time.

This traditional American horror film is still all the changes in the hands of Gilmo del Toro, a somewhat alternative Mexican director, and especially in the deformed link, which is even more perverted and crazy.

In the early days, Gilmo del Toro was crazy about filming.

Of course, the structure and plot of the entire film do not transcend traditional American plasma torture horror films.

As a producer, Ronan would not let Gilmo del Toro shoot and produce according to the director's ideas.

So, to some extent, "The Deadly Bend" is also very traditional.

The beginning of the film is the American middle school youth who are trying to die. The demonstration of how to die in a place where people are rarely visited.

The whole story is simple and clear, and it is clear at a glance.

Chris received an urgent interview mission, and he had to arrive in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA within 3 hours. The trip that was supposed to be smooth was disrupted by a traffic accident. A vehicle carrying chemicals overturned, causing a traffic jam on the highway.

In desperation, Chris chose a sparsely populated path to march.

On the other hand, five friends including Jesse, Carly, Scott, Evan and Frans drove to the mountains to camp and play. Unexpectedly, the car exploded in tires halfway, and while waiting for rescue, the car was hit by Chris who was in danger.

Everyone went to the nearby area for help, but they did not expect to walk into many traps set by the perverted and deformed person...

So, the deformed people staged an ogre on the tip of their tongues.

The focus of this horror film, that is, the horror lies in it, is naturally the process of torture and killing, but if the plasma and torture scenes are repeated, it is easy to cause aesthetic fatigue. Therefore, as early as the script was created, we made a clear distinction between everyone's way of death to increase stimulation.

The ways of killing people are different, and the ways of eating are naturally different. There are raw foods, fried foods, shabu-shabu slices, etc.

In this regard, director Guilmo del Toro fully utilizes the imagination of an alternative director.

For example, a female character witnessed a deformed person killing several of her friends. One of them was cut alive and made into a scattered animal. She rolled it in a pan and ate it. When she was eating, the man was still alive and watched the ogres scatter their own meat...

The screams kept ringing in the theater. I wonder if these people were afraid of their minds or their stomachs.

The United States has the most dramatic humans in the world, and no country has such potential food raw materials. In order to get this gift of nature, the ogres cut their swords, axes, tear their hands, and teeth, and do not miss any delicious food.

This film will show the story of ogres and people behind the deliciousness...

The plot of this film is compact and the atmosphere is tense enough. From beginning to end, people's heart and stomach are always in a very nervous state.

People with bad stomachs are not suitable for watching this movie. Ogres on the tip of their tongues will make people vomit.

But this is the traditional American horror film, and it is also the most popular horror film genre in North America in the past 20 years.

Madman, dismembered, often appears in American horror movies.

Bloody dismemberment and violent fights may be a summary of the definition of horror by the Americans.

Often to achieve terrifying effects, the screen is filled with blood red and rust, dirty and worn trucks, and torture rooms that are far away from the crowd. A few perverted murderers with ugly appearance and evil hearts are the horror of the United States. What they bring to the audience is always visual stimulation and fear, not psychological fear after watching.

"The Deadly Behind" does not break out of these traditional settings.

Or in other words, Gilmo del Toro thought about jumping out, but was limited by the producer Ronan.

Because this is not a pioneering film for shooting experimental types, but a commercial horror movie with a mature operating model.

Therefore, the routines in the film are very consistent with the Americans' consistent appreciation of horror films.

For example, people with external deformities must have internal deformities.

For example, when dealing with a murderer, it is better to kill him than to escape. You must use any means to kill him at any time.

Look at traditional American horror movies, the villain protagonists in the movie are all scary enough.

In fact, if you analyze it carefully, the negative effects of appearance deformity are almost all mental distortions. If you are fine, you will still go as far as you want.

Faced with these murderous monsters, whenever they escape, the subsequent plots are basically defeated one by one during the pursuit.

Like those who fought back, they could survive.

These are routines.

Perhaps, the only thing this film lacks is the erotic elements, with a little less male and female scenes on a large scale.

At the end of the film, the applause rang very enthusiastically, and it seemed that the audience was quite satisfied with the film.

Ronan also shook hands with Guilmo del Toro: "It's done well, a horror film masterpiece."

Such a film can not only be profitable, but it can always bring a certain profit with appropriate publicity, and then let the sequel continue to be filmed continuously.

The applause lasted for two minutes, far from the premiere of "The Legend of the Spy", but this was just a horror movie after all.

Ronan did not attend the subsequent press conferences and other activities, and left the Chiefs Stone Theater and returned to Beverly Hills.

At the premiere, various statistics are in progress, especially for the comments and ratings of the live audience.

Most horror movie fans have good reviews about "The Deadly Behind".

"Simple and easy to understand, fascinating, bloody, weird, sudden sounds and scene effects can be fully reflected in this film!"

"A good movie, worth watching!"

"A very exciting highway deformed murderer type film, with excellent action scenes!"

"I like this kind of thriller and bloody movie."

“Heavy taste, I like it!”

This type of film can be considered successful as long as it can be liked by horror fans.

Passers-by rarely watch this type of horror movie. After all, this is essentially different from horror movies like "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural".

This kind of film is killing and bloody, and the audience is just trying to enjoy it.

It was only an hour after the premiere ended, and the audience survey from cinema sore was reported to Ronan.

In a sample survey of 102 ordinary audiences, "The Deadly Bend" received an average rating of "b".

These are all direct ratings from horror movie fans.

Just after the early morning, the reputation of Rotten Tomatoes in "The Deadly Bend" was lifted. The critics' reviews were not expected to be miserable. Rotten Tomatoes were marked as rotten, with 43% freshness, and the average score of the critics was 4.2 points.

At the same time, imdb also unlocked the relevant ratings because the number of rating users reached the minimum limit, and the average score of the audience was 6.8 points.

For a plasma horror movie, the reputation is pretty good in general.

This type of film has a natural reputation, and even the masterpieces such as "Saw" are actually not high in various ratings.

Media and film critics basically wear tinted glasses to look at these horror movies.

Anyway, "The Deadly Behind" is much more quality than "House of Death", which relies entirely on hype to attract people.

After all, Guilmo del Toro is not the famous king of bad movies like Uvi Ball.

After the premiere, this American horror film began to be fully released in North America, with 2,355 painting theaters, which is enough to ensure the coverage of "The Deadly Behind" in the North American market.

The unique premiere of the film also attracted a large number of attention, especially media reports, which effectively promoted the dissemination of the film.

"The Deadly Behind" won $7.35 million on its first day of its release in North America, showing good momentum.

This also makes the theater feel that the screen resources invested in are worth the money.

On the second day of Saturday, "The Deadly Behind" still maintained a good attendance rate, and the box office of $7.53 million also represents at least a relatively stable box office trend in the first weekend.

Three days after its first weekend, the film won $20.1 million in North America.

In terms of box office revenue alone, "The Deadly Behind" has been successful.

The shooting and production of the sequel is inevitable.

In addition, even after three days of screening on the weekend, the audience's reputation of "The Deadly Bend" is not bad, and the imdb's rating has always remained at around 6.5 points.

According to the forecast from cinema Sore, the film's North American box office will eventually land around $50 million.

Although such a box office result can only be considered fairly good compared to the public production cost of $20 million, for Ronan and Shahai Entertainment, "The Deadly Behind" has achieved great success.

For investment settlement with Abu Dhabi, you have to wait until the film is released overseas. In terms of the speed of the horror film overseas, the complete collection will be at the fastest time until the end of this year or even mid-next year.

Ronan is not in a hurry to settle with investors in Abu Dhabi. If they are willing to continue investing in Shahai Entertainment's film projects, he welcomes them. If he is preparing to withdraw his investment, he will settle according to the contract and Hollywood's common rules.

Shahai Entertainment is not short of new film projects, and Ronan welcomes every foreign investor, especially overseas investor.

Of course, those sequel projects are not among the ranks of foreign investments. For example, "Human Purge 3" and "Death Comes 2" are basically completed and produced by internal funds of Relativity Entertainment.

The sequel project has less risk and higher profits, and has a successful model to apply, making shooting and production relatively easier.

Ronan is gradually letting go of this area, for example, the subsequent "Human Purge 3" will be completely left to George Clint to operate.

As long as you don’t make any major innovations or changes in the sequel project, it will generally have a relatively long life span.

Innovation is the natural enemy of the sequel project's usual success mode.
