Review: With creativity , John A. Russo I first met in terms of literature is still quite long . It was a book , which included two of his stories , ” Night of the Living Dead” and “Midnight” . On the first was a classic textbook symbolic statement by George A. Romero , but the second screen version of the writer himself , inviting viewers to the Court considered in the current text of a horror movie.

Definitely a movie I had in mind . I remember quite well the print edition , so I was bored into unwittingly interest as a writer – director shows a particular scene on the way he wrote . Besides, I must say that the ending is converted to the delight of all familiar with the book , because early -reaching action very closely follows the literary basis , we can say , word for word , gesture gesture. That’s interesting , but predictable , therefore, apparently John A. Russo and wished to reshape the final, thinking about the future with respect to its viewers opus , knowing in advance the final chapter of his book.

In my view, the apogee of completion screen still basically twofold . Judge for yourself , all the early ( and the book , too) based on humanized evil in a world where light does not necessarily put up over darkness , even more obviously defeats , because he is meek and antagonist destructive. He ( and the laws of his people personifying ) exhibited very believable , they are too unprepared for the collision , their cult is not strength , when minions of evil , on the contrary , hardened in their brutal cruelty killer nurtured in total unscrupulousness perverse Satanism. Generally originally Rousseau creates an extremely naturalistic story about the demons of chaos in the family group of Satanists , and surly about the whole cruel world where there are still good people , but they have no support in the physical ability to fight, they just something else and airy, it is only faith , but her nothing. In the clash between unscrupulous killers with the most presumptuous diapers and pounded faith in fear of knocking the heart, in the movie would be the main physics , metaphysics perebaryvaya easily . Probably similar course Ruthless copyright views to his characters without assistance impossible , but only in a contemplative manner empathize, and they were seen and memorized book . And the film has a similar course of events in full , Rousseau does not give a helping hand to their goodies , he puts them in constant complex dangerous situations without making concessions . He worked truthfully honest (not every writer can boast of this , right? ) , I’m most like his style of writing and directing this . His negative characters are not stupid , as we usually presents a screen or page book to victims seeped into loopholes , no – they are cunning , cruel and cohesion . And therefore , more plausible than the world than natural ruthlessness , the degree of audience empathy heroes increases with each passing minute.
