The film "Shabby": reviews, description, subject and reviews

In the 21st century, the film industry offers the audience a lot of film entertainment that is somehow based on fear. As they say, if there is demand, then there will be proposals. It is clear that the purpose of any "horror" is to call the fright, fear and shock of the beholder. Used for this variety of methods, ranging from the evocative images and ending with a clean atmospheric voltage. The horror film "Shabby" reviews moviegoers refer to the golden middle: it is enough for both the first and second.

Reality of the horror film "Shabby"

The reality of the slasher "Shabby" (the experts' reviews have classified the project as this sub-genre) is the existence of a lawless inhuman experience. And how else can you designate a murder like yourself for the sake of sadistic, sophisticated entertainment? The main antagonist of the film - Kurt Baker, is perceived as not a man. According to the idea of the authors, its very existence is initially territorially rendered beyond the boundaries of a social hostel, therefore it appears to the borderline social order and human consciousness. The film "Shabby", whose plot does not differ in originality, does not require a variety of plot-plot constructions. The creators simply frighten the beholder with the pain of the victims and the bloody scenes, but the oppressive atmosphere of danger is more impressive, in which unfortunate victims fall one by one.

Plot. Almost without spoilers

"Erased" (2007) reviews of experts recommend watching until the end, because it is at the culmination of the time will come to understand the root causes of what is happening. And the action begins with the fact that in the suburban house of the sheriff of the city Pat Baker (Tony Dup), there is a celebration of the birthday of the girl Sarah. Her younger brother, eight-year-old Kurt, wishing to attract attention, behaves extremely disgusting. Mother scolded the boy and sent her to her room. The holiday was over, and the tired woman went to check her disobedient offspring. As soon as she got up into the room to her son, the child hammered her to death with a baseball bat. His crime was recorded on a video camera. The provincial town of Smith-Haven, Washington State was shocked by the behavior of a small sociopath.

13 years have passed ...

Thirteen years pass, Kurt (Aaron Blakely) escapes from the rehabilitation center and, getting a clown mask, goes to his hometown. On this very day, his sister Sarah (Alain Dashil) with a small group of friends goes on a campaign in the woods surrounding the city. The sheriff is torn between fulfilling his duty, defending the inhabitants of the city and paternal feelings for a son suffering from a dissociative personality disorder . In the meantime, the number of victims continues to grow, and the terrible secret about the past of the boy will very soon come out on public display. This is a brief description of the plot line of the film "Stertoi" (2007). About the film was much said, but the introduction of the story of the mystery, explaining the actions of a maniac, was called justified.

Fear for yourself

After a detailed analysis of the picture "Shabby" reviews of the audience and critics noted a curious fact. In the movie there are character-victims and character-villain, they are static. But there is also the opposition - this is the real world of the average person in the street and the present personified evil in the negative character, trapped in the dark. Therefore, the peculiarity of the perception of the "Stray" tape ("Frayed", 2007) was that the heroes-victims on the screen are extremely close in spirit to the beholder, to some extent psychologically related. This belief is not formulated explicitly, it is hidden deep in the subconscious, but its presence makes the viewer forget about the game in which the creative union of the directors plays with him and fully experience the real, animal fear and almost physiological disgust for everything that is happening on the screen .

Deconstruction of values

Thus, the "wiped out" (the reviews in the majority confirm this fact) is not just a slasher about murders, it is also an attempt of the authors to analyze the problems of the society in which these crimes occur, to outline a separate audiovisual model of the world, which is based on the deconstruction of human values. The creators managed to capture the spectators' attention in a provocative way and immerse them in their author's semantic space. This "hook" occurs at the points of maximum attractiveness, that is, emotional rejection or attractiveness. By the way, we add that the effect of emotional rejection in the film prevails and does not give the viewer the slightest respite from the spectacular but uncompromisingly brutal scenes.

Film-training for nerves

"Shabby" (2007) - a horror film that looks like looking at all sorts of troubles, is a kind of training for the nerves of the viewer, because it contains at least some psychological depth. It can not be attributed to the production of the horror film industry, which is saturated to the brim with scenes of unjustified violence. Such films simply suppress the psyche of the audience and even dull the instinct of self-preservation. But in this slasher, all episodes are justified by the format of the subgenre. The spectator, sublimating the abominable, disgusting and terrible, comprehends and rejects him. Excellent therapeutic effect. Moreover, the picture does not really claim the status of a work of art in its high sense.

For the skeptics

Many film fans, after watching the movie "Wiped", immediately assume that this is a real clone of the cult "Halloween", shot by John Carpenter in 1978. There, too, the main hero-psycho, having escaped from a special clinic, where he spent a long fifteen years, in a mask committed killings out of revenge. But "Erased" is different in that, thanks to the simple tracking of the camera and the almost monotonous sound of music, the viewer has an inexplicable alarm. As if the energy of a psychopath really materializes, and the horrors that are inside each of us are the most terrible in the world. The movie "Shabby", of course, can not be put on the same level as "Halloween," and the worst movie in the history of cinema is hard to call, but fans of the genre to recommend for viewing, no doubt worth it.
