Set in an unspecified French village, the locals are shocked when a group of girls skinny dipping in the nearby lake (all very tastefully done I hasten to add) are killed by a group of zombiefied Nazi soldiers, that spring up out of the waters and drag them down to their demise.
A couple of detectives are brought in to try and solve the mysterious murders, only to end up as the zombies next victims. It turns out that during the war, the French resistance ambushed and killed a squad of German soldiers and dumped the bodies into the nearby lake, but failed to take notice of any of the local superstitions (never a wise move). Although, seeing as this film appears to be set in the early 80's, why it's taken so long for them to emerge and start killing people is a bit of a mystery, but there you go.
Not-with-standing, the villagers quickly organise a lynch mob to take down the zombie menace, only to end up being decimated by the undead soldiers, who's 'convincing' zombie make-up basically consists of green paint, which doesn't even cover the whole of the actors faces and keeps washing off in the lake.
There's also a bizarre sub plot about one of the zombies visiting his former daughter, who strangely still looks all of 12 despite the fact she should be in her 40's if she was born near the end of the war, but then since when did logic ever come into these films? Such as why do their uniforms still look almost new despite being underwater for 40 years, or how come the skinny dipping girls are only knee deep in the water when viewed from the lakeside, yet appear to be swimming in 12 feet of it from the underwater shots?
Bad acting, naff zombie make-up (the aforementioned green face paint), painfully obvious underwater shots filmed in a swimming pool, not to mention the plot inconsistencies bigger than the aforementioned lake itself. Low budget doesn't even begin to describe this film, which quite unbelievably was directed by respected Eurohorror director Jean Rollin, albeit under the pseudo name J A Laser.
That's not to say the film isn't without merit. I bust a gut laughing at the thoroughly ridiculous scenes of the zombies attacking the naked young girls, and the equally ridiculous slapstick battle with the angry villagers. Utterly hilarious, grab the six pack and the popcorn and have a blast!
即使说出真相是一件痛苦的事，但仍然应该勇于面对，只有这样才能真正前行。看似两条完全不相干的情感线其实说的是同一个理念
阿莫多瓦的导演技术当然可以，但佩妮洛普发现孩子搞错后，不找医院解决不好理解，查出同产期婴儿做下生物鉴定很难吗？对孩子有了感情可以理解，可自己亲生的在外，好吗？
看完后想了半天，又翻了好几篇影评，也还是没想明白单亲妈妈的A故事和西班牙内战的B故事有什么联系......
这次有点气力不够 影像就好像一直在撑着继续
阿莫多瓦从不让人失望，奇情高手！佩妮洛普克鲁兹是如何冻龄的？毫无填充和去皱感却毫不松弛？！
片子里仅有"活着"的女人会身着红装，阿莫多瓦之红依然这么讲究。
NYFF59第九部。同时谈一个男朋友一个女朋友，也真是人生理想了...差一个来撩我的妹子。
依旧是很阿莫多瓦的一部电影。但实在是让我意想不到的是他居然在其中安排了Les的情节着实让我猝不及防。
罗素兄弟老家Cinematheque免费首映，谢谢，但我更应该呆在家里看Solaris。整个片子看下来我实在是坐立不安，当你打开手机就能看到当下战争的实时动态，你很难冷静的看完这几个中情局哈佛帮的老同学派雇佣兵全世界大搞破坏到最后却要惊呼：How can you kill a little girl? 在这个Gun violence频频出现的夏天，这难道就是观众最希望看到的电影？而且罗素兄弟你们确定小女孩儿和高斯林这条线没什么伦理问题？我估计喜欢打游戏的人会很喜欢这种电影。总体来说，我不推荐。
看的时候希望两个妈不要越过线。看完又觉得不得不越。话说au pair角色有存在意义嘛。
对阿莫多瓦编故事的能力又佩服了一点，这样一个抱错孩子的故事多么容易写成发现抱错了，惊慌失措去医院说理？结果人家根本就不是这样的走向。
故事非常狗血，几乎每一步都能被观众猜中。但女主前男友回来时找女主时，本以为会是求复合展开一家三口的美好畅想，女主自此陷入男与女、理智与情感的抉择困境时，导演没有把狗血进行到底，而是把格局扩大，将乱葬岗的部分延伸，多少还是有些强行的感觉。阿莫多瓦的电影看的还是太少了。
还是那个阿莫多瓦，还是那个太擅长刻画女人的阿莫多瓦，drama的剧情就是有阿莫多瓦的味道。但电影的元素堆叠过多，关于西班牙的历史迷失与找寻的那一段剧情，和平行母亲那一段有些割裂了。
Chris Evans在剧中的小胡子造型让我觉得他之后可以分别出演斯大林、周树人以及希特勒。
「母亲」本身确实可以作为奇情与历史的锚点，但全片看下来总觉得稍微欠点，也许关于Janis（及所有出现的个体母亲）与历史的联系、对历史的关切的部分再多些会更好？或者这个抱错的故事跟乱葬岗（留下的女性们）有什么隐喻上的联系，是我没看出来吗？近几年看阿莫多瓦就像在看家装和时装catalogue，每个场景里吸引眼球的色彩和单品有点太多了，一个镜头出来眼睛疯狂乱瞟，在某种意义上也让人很难静心看「电影」作为一个整体，至少分了六成注意力专门看production design。
高斯林居然还敢去曼谷，你忘记自己上一次在那儿差点没被维他亚·潘斯林加姆打成猪头了吗？
冲刺全放在了前半部分，结构叙事都很喜欢，后半部分却跑不动了。全剧只有Janis抱住Ana的镜头是我深刻体味到她母性光环的瞬间。短发的Ana一直让我想起阿黛尔的生活…
只可惜一些过于明显的剧情问题，导致《灰影人》难以获得五星赞誉。这些问题例如，美队的角色给电影带来了一些轻松幽默的元素，但跟其他角色的严肃格格不入；在恶劣的战斗环境中会时不时插入一些喜剧，这种半吊子，导致让观众在面对严肃的情节时无法认真对待。
