[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to the film

Bridget moynahan (who plays public enemy I-Robot and recruit) and her boyfriend's two children go to the African forest to play, but when they get off for a walk, they find a lion coveting 30 yards away, and their guide turns out to be the lion's dinner. The three men had to hide in the car and wait for help, and a journey of killing people and animals began immediately. ...

This is a thrilling disaster film with one climax after another. Tom, the hero, wanted to give his family a dream trip to Africa, but this trip turned into a nightmare of fighting with lions.

Tom originally planned a family of four to travel to the African forest, and took this opportunity to cultivate the affection between his new wife Amy and their two children. But just before leaving, Tom received a temporary official business, and his wife Amy had to take her eldest daughter Jessica (14 years old) and her son David (10 years old) first. The three of them like to drive under the guidance of African forest guides. And bad luck suddenly came at this moment. A lion has been waiting to spy on them 30 meters away, and another lioness has blocked the gate not far away, ready to wait for an opportunity to act. The poor guide became the target of the lion first, and was torn in half by the lion's mouth, and a journey of killing people and animals began immediately. Who will be the next prey? Where is the chance to escape?

This family of four went through a series of baptism of death during this dangerous trip to Africa. They struggled to find the last chance of life in the drought, in the struggle with the African indigenous Jedi, in the life-and-death test of the hunter dying in the lion's mouth, and in the flame of the explosion of the ambulance. ...

[Edit this paragraph] Movie highlights

1, the theme of killing animals leads the way, and truly feel the fierceness of animals in the forests of South Africa.

The theme of "The Scare of the Lion's Mouth" has taken the lead-because the animal theme of fighting between man and beast has always been deeply loved by the audience. I believe this film will definitely catch a ride with the beast and win the audience's favor. The most attractive thing about the film is that two of the three people who fought with the lion in the car were weak women. The battle between beauty and beast is full of dramatic tension and suspense. At the same time, the film has a documentary and tragic style. The film retains the more primitive fear and horror of human beings to wild animals, and can better understand the dizziness and suffocating despair of death in the endless African virgin forest.

2, surprisingly winning animal stars beat people's eyes

Drawing on Hitchcock's technique, the film created and maintained a high degree of tension and gripping suspense within more than 80 minutes of the film's broadcast. It is particularly worth mentioning that the natural scenery in Africa is extremely beautiful, which complements the cruel killing of the film, allowing the audience to see a disaster thriller featuring lions, which can be described as surprise and excitement.

The film's beast protagonist "Lion" is also a professional actor from Hollywood! Their wonderful performance in the film is really remarkable, which once again makes the audience understand the power of "animal fierceness".

The film is also a touching drama, and the family relationship between the two generations is thought-provoking.

The Scare of the Lion's Mouth is not only an action film with horror characteristics, but also a drama film around family. In the forest, it is a killing war between man and beast, and the film uses a lot of lions to create a tense plot; But in the car, it was an emotional drama between a stepmother and two children. They want to survive in this closed small space, not only against the hungry lions outside, but also against the new relationship between the two generations.

4, excellent creative team, American first-line actress desperately performed.

Darrell James Roodt, the director, made persistent efforts to release the film after being shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with Beautiful Never Forgotten in 2005. He is confident that this film will become an impressive horror film, just like Jaws, which will make everyone experience a thrilling journey of light and shadow. Bridget moynahan, the heroine, is now a hot A-list actress in Hollywood. She has an unforgettable special temperament of combining rigidity with softness. This time, she gave a desperate performance, which filled the tenacious side of the young stepmother with passion. Among her many films, China audiences are most familiar with the sci-fi blockbuster Robot I introduced by China Film last year. Her representative works include "The Recruit" and "The King of Soldiers". Carly schroeder, the eldest daughter, is also a famous child star in Hollywood.

[Edit this paragraph] Behind the scenes story

The film was shot in South Africa, but all the actors and behind-the-scenes staff came from the United States. Even the lion, the key protagonist of the film, is also a "professional migrant worker" in Hollywood. The five lions in this battle were all trained at birth. Elizabeth Maimeilan, the chief lion trainer, said, "I brought two lions, two lionesses and a little lion. I shaved off his mane and let him play the role of a lioness in the play. " We take the lions home to sleep every night and take them to the movie location in the morning. It can be said that our lion grew up on the set and is very familiar with film making. "

Mai Meilan even said with a smile that this film requires these lion stars to attack cars, roar loudly and scare amazing people ... It is simply asking lions to be themselves: "It is the unshirkable responsibility of lions to attack humans, look at them and kill creatures!" Of course they can handle it. "However, Bridget, who worked with them, was afraid:" We knew that these lions had received special training in California, and they were actually safe, but I was still surprised when I saw them pacing outside the car. "

Carly schroeder, the actress who plays Bridget's boyfriend's daughter, shouted: "After the lion jumped on the roof, I felt its toes scratching at the hood, and then it suddenly jumped down. I have been screaming, not acting, but stunned. Later, the lion kept staring at me. Bridget put her hand over my mouth and the photographer stopped me from screaming. It turned out that they found the big lion.

In addition to the full devotion of the actors, the film is also controlled by director Lute's old partner photographer Michael Brierley, who uses four or five cameras every day to capture every wonderful moment of fighting between man and beast. In addition, the film crew also used computer special effects to add suspense and shock to many scenes during post-production. As Carly, who plays the eldest daughter, said, The Scare of the Lion's Mouth is simply a great entertainment blockbuster! The whole family will be very happy to see it! "
