What are the highlights of Murder at the Royal Hotel compared with other suspense films of the same kind?

This name sounds terrible, but at first glance it is funny and surprising. Can I change my name to comedy?

The murder of the Royal Hotel can be said to be my most surprising new film recently. After subverting the ordinary horror film, the director of "The House in the Woods" made the usual serious suspense film full of jokes this time. The whole movie is full of God's unfolding, reversal and subversion, which is really restrained and crazy.

Don't want spoilers, talk about the structure (there are spoilers later)

In the first 20 minutes, the film basically introduced all the protagonists except the hidden characters, and then began a beautiful narrative style with the title of room number.

Four tenants, four rooms, everyone has his own abacus, so first connect the two short knives, and then continue to fight the survival of the fittest.

The first half is such a turning point. Everyone's own story will introduce a part of the truth, and then they will be madly involved in another event, so everything is actually related, which makes the structure of the first two-thirds of the film very interesting.

Brother hammer is here

Back 1/3, Brother Hammer is coming. This is the supernatural development of the film. Although the appearance of Brother Hammer himself will converge, the original structural intention of the film will come to an end temporarily, and then it will become the time for Brother Hammer to show himself.

This passage reminds me of Mandy. However, Brother Hammer's roar was not as serious as Nicolas Cage's. Instead, he twisted his waist, legs, arms, breasts and abdominal muscles.

Supergods spread out to cover up loopholes.

For the sake of one god after another, this film will undoubtedly sacrifice something, such as the rationality of some plots or the coincidence of time.

For example, the biggest confusion is that the black singer smashed the fake priest and ran out, and then saw the time when the detective was killed. In another story line, the stunned priest wakes up, talks with the handsome guy at the front desk for a long time, then runs to find the key, and then slowly walks over to find the secret of the hotel.

These two times, obviously a long and a short, do not match.

Of course, in addition, the plot killing of some characters is also very stupid. For example, the detective knocked out Damei and was killed instantly, regardless of the result. For example, the younger brother at the front desk who just showed his marksmanship went straight to get the villain. Hey, people are in the same boat as those who want to kill you. Don't you just kill people because they are beautiful? Deserve to be stabbed to death.

As for whether it is politically correct for black people to live to the end, I won't delve into it.

In a word, the movie is very happy, and there are loopholes in logic, which does not affect us being such a happy emotional contagion. What to do when you are most nervous, singing, being held hostage by bad people, singing, nothing can't be solved by singing. If so, let's have another paragraph.

Actually, it's not bad to change the title of the film to El Royal. The hotel where everyone plays roulette together is so happy. Who wouldn't want to do it again?

Just next time, do you want to live in California or Nevada, or do you want to stand in the middle and dance like Brother Hammer?

How do you feel after reading it? Can you share it with me?
