简介:Out of the fifties 'B' Science-Fiction monster movies, this easily ranks as the best. It's most notable as the film that ALIEN is an unaccredited remake of, thus giving it a certain historical significance. The intriguing plot is about the rescue of the only marooned survivor (Col. Carruthers) of an ill-fated expedition to Mars. The authorities, pig-headed as usual, falsely assume that he murdered his fellow crew members, so that he'd have more provisions to survive; hence he is being brought back to Earth to face court-martial for murder. (There is also a somewhat interesting plot reversal here Most movies of this nature usually begin with the ship leaving Earth, enroute to its otherworld destination, while, in this case, the story is believed finished, and begins as the characters take-off from the other planet, returning to Earth). As the rescue ship is leaving Mars, a lurking, ominous shadow is seen in the lower compartment. (A frightening, atmospheric moment, accomplished through sheer economy and simplicity). Carruthers insists of his innocence to his fellow captors, claiming that his original crew mates were slaughtered by a hostile, unseen presence on the desolute red planet, but three-guesses as to their reaction to his unusual plea. Naturally, he can't prove it, and 50's space authorities were not very alien conscience at the time. (As a side-thought, unseen menace may remind you of that highly original BLAIR WITCH). As everyone sacks out, a hapless supporting charactor whose name is at the bottom of the casting list (guess what will happen to him) hears something in the lower compartment. Despite your futile don't go down there, you jerk! pleas, he does just that, and is appropriately killed (more like thoroughly obliterated) by the shadowy figure with insatiable blood lust on its mind. In the victim's case, dereliction of duty and sheer cowardliness would have been the wise decision. The scene is actually well-directed (for a change) and develops much suspense, as the entire film surprisingly does. The crew finally catches on that they have an unwanted ship crasher on board, and try every possible means at their disposal to eliminate it, but the unknown creature seems to copping an anti-death attitude. Proving to be an even more clever, worthy adversary, 'IT!' also hides out in the ventilation shafts of the ship (now that should ring a bell). Cahn's forceful direction generates considerable tension as the malevolent stowaway works its way up from one level of the confined ship to the next, eventually leaving the remaining characters trapped at the top. The movie's suspense is blunt and right to the point IT!' has to kill them or starve, hence they have to kill IT! or die. Nothing like those no two ways about it choices. Rent it, or check for it on cable if you wish to know the outcome. For a low-budget quickie, IT! is quite impressive and memorable. The dreaded sense of claustrophobic tension, rendering the characters' helpless entrapment, is highly effective. This is a production in which the limited budget and small sets actually work in favor of the plot's scary ambience. The black white photography (Yes, it's one of those!) helps to enhance its dark, creepy mood, and the sense of apprehension is quite high. (Modern day color freaks never seem to take that into consideration). The plot is also somewhat cynically ironic If the creature hadn't stowed away on the ship, Carruthers would have most likely been found guilty of the charges against him. The intelligent script (see what I mean about rareity) was penned by noted Science-Fiction author Jerome Bixby (remember Twilight Zone's It's a Good Life) The picture's taut editing eliminates any extraneous dross. (ALIEN tended to drag in its first hour with its sophomoric dialogue, and why did it have to include that stupid and ultimately counter-productive sub-plot of Ash being a robot, and further dragging the story down to another big bad conspiracy cliche UNNECESSARY!!!) Director Cahn astutely keeps the rubber-suited monster off-screen and in the shadows through-out most of the proceedings, keeping your paranoid imagination on constant alert. Unfortunately, perhaps at the studio's commercial insistance, it is a little over-revealed at the climax, but I haven't claimed this to be the perfect masterpiece. The performances, though nothing award-winning, are nevertheless cool enough so that one becomes sincerely concerned as to their fates. Not many movies in recent times ever come close to achieving that. They can be over-produced from here to eternity, and usually only succeed in being gloriously annoying. This film's story is not really totally original (what is), for it is based on A.E. Van Vogt's VOYAGE OF THE SPACE BEAGLE. All ALIEN fanatics should track down an old used copy to see where the initial influence came from. As long as you're not craving another CGI wind-ding, you may find it worthwhile. Just don't expect the women to be Ripley precursors. This was still the sock-knitting fifties, sad to say.

简介:《干花》这部风格强烈的「艺术黑帮片」制作于任侠电影黄金时代的开端,以强烈反差的黑白摄影及武满彻诡异的配乐,带领观众梦游石原慎太郎原著的「仁义」地下世界。 作为松竹新浪潮的一员,篠田正浩则是自觉地离开片厂,走上独立制作的道路。篠田的《乾花》有趣的地方,可能是见到本是文艺小生的池部良,如何开始转型成为一位「任侠」。虽然在这部电影中,他还是一个典型的石原慎太郎太阳族小说的迷惘主人翁,但走上罪犯的道路后,他很快就成为「昭和残侠」的一员。日本的黑帮片,可能是把罪犯神话化的极致了。 《干花》,这部筱田正浩的新浪潮时期的作品,改编自石原慎太郎的原著。这部小说和另外一部石原慎太郎作品《太阳的季节》的出现,给新浪潮中重要一类电影立下了“太阳族电影”的名字。这部冷酷迷人的电影所展现出来的虚无主义情绪似乎比大岛洼的成名作《残酷青春物语》还要强烈得多,技术也更高超得多。 除了以自身阴郁的黑白摄影对原著进行的视觉呈现所散发出的独特气息,它仍残留着石原慎太郎太阳族电影——文学作品的印记。不过在此番中,通常发生在小说男主人公身上的反叛与虚无情绪被转移到了另一位神秘、迷人、疯狂、麻木、空洞、绝望的年轻女孩身上,而男主角却几乎成了黑色电影的经典形象——一个没有希望和生存目的的孤独杀手,迫不得已不得不继续在这条充满陷阱的路上走下去。男女主人公,刚欲建立起来的感情联系在这个危险和绝望的世界中迅速被自身的惰性和冷酷的外部世界撕裂了,还来不及清醒地确认自身的存在与悲剧感。 筱田正浩所采取的绝不是一种类型片的拍法,他的这部审视战后日本社会心理形态的作品,有着强大而深沉的批评力量。它是内敛的、阴郁的、冷酷的、无声尖叫的、像夜本身一样富于沉重的压迫感的。筱田正浩对人在一种极端主义的处境中性与爱的歧化的、隐性的表现,有一种独特的眼光和品位,他的作品既有政治和社会眼光的深度,并且似乎总是无法剥离的,又有人性基本层面上的批判视野的力度,他不像典型的桃色片电影导演那样官能化地聚焦于身体摹写的原欲自身,也绝不是一位禁欲风格的社会学或人类学纪录者,他擅长改编文学作品的才能使它成为一位将社会立意的内在主题寄寓在美不胜收的视觉语言和具有诱惑力的文学叙事上的美学拓建设者;他的作品的形式与思想结合的完美总是让人久久陷于震憾。
