Туршилтын үзвэрийн дараа найруулагч Зак Креггер өөрийн шинэ бүтээл болох “Resident Evil” киноны хошин өнгө аясыг багасгахаар шийджээ.
Найруулагч Зак Креггер “Hollywood Reporter” сэтгүүлд өгсөн ярилцлагадаа туршилтын үзвэрийн үеэр үзэгчдийн өгсөн санал хүсэлт дээр үндэслэн киноны засварт өөрчлөлт оруулснаа хуваалцжээ. Түүний хэлснээр, үзэгчид киног таашаасан ч хэтэрхий хошин тал руугаа байна гэж үзсэн тул тэрээр инээдмийн хэсгүүдийг аль болох хасчээ.
Ийнхүү засвар хийсний дараа үзэгчид киног илүү сонирхолтой хүлээж авсан бөгөөд найруулагч өөрөө ч бүтээлдээ илүү сэтгэл ханамжтай болсон байна. Аймшгийн төрлийн кинонд бага зэргийн хошин мэдрэмж байх нь зүйтэй хэдий ч хассан хэсгүүдийнхээ аль нэгийг нь ч үгүйлээгүй гэдгээ тэрээр онцоллоо.
Зак Креггер “Resident Evil” цувралын шүтэн бишрэгчид өөр өөр хүлээлттэй байдгийг хүлээн зөвшөөрсөн юм. Тэрээр тоглоомын явцын мэдрэмжийг кинонд буулгахыг зорьсон бөгөөд шүтэн бишрэгчдийн бүхий л давхаргын хүсэл сонирхолд нийцүүлэх гэхээсээ илүүтэйгээр өөрийн чадах хамгийн шилдэг хувилбарыг бүтээхийг эрхэмлэсэн байна.

Thanks to Barbarian and Weapons, we know that filmmaker Zach Cregger loves to walk the line between genuine horror and freaky absurdity. Just picture Aunt Gladys clumsily racing away from a pack of children bewitched by her own sinister spell—you don’t know whether to scream, laugh, or do both—and you’ll get what we mean. But the director and co-writer recently revealed that his latest film, Resident Evil, may have drifted too far into the humor column early in its process.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Cregger reflected back on the edits he made after getting feedback from Resident Evil‘s test screenings.
“I learned that people really liked the movie, but they thought it was too funny,” Cregger told THR.
“So over the course of my testing, I stripped out as much of the jokes as possible. I then found that not only did the audience enjoy the movie more, but I also liked the movie a lot more. A little bit of humor goes a long way in a horror movie, and there’s not a single joke I took out of this movie that I miss. So that perspective was really helpful.”
We get it. Resident Evil is based on a video game more known for yucks than yuks. And Cregger had existing fans of the franchise in mind while he was making his feature version—to a point.
“There are different kinds of Resident Evil fans,” he explained. He mentioned “fans like me who love the experience of playing the games and think there’s never been a movie that has represented what it feels like to play ResidentEvil,” but also “fans of the games who specifically love the lore and the characters and the nitty-gritty details of the backstory.”
He understands that second type of fan, but his film is very much in that first category. “I have to make the best version of this movie that I’m capable of making and devote myself entirely to it. I cannot be worried about whether I am pleasing enough of every spectrum of fandom.”
We respect that. But also… we’d love to see Resident Evil: The Comedy Cut. Maybe Cregger will include some of those excised jokes on the home release?
