Antebellum ( Vietnamese title : Trap of Terrifying Reality ) is one of the most prominent theatrical films released this week and has received a lot of attention from the audience because they hope that this will be a movie. quality horror, unlike many other B and C demonic movies that have been shown for nearly 4 months. Come on, let's see WebTech360 film produced by the creators of the horror superhero Get out and Us to see if the film will meet our expectations.

Plot: Veronica is a social activist fighting for people of color in America . For some reason, when she opened her eyes, she found herself on a civil war plantation, not in the modern era in which she lived. Here the blacks were mistreated by the whites as cowardly slaves. What will Veronica have to do to get out of the above adversity?

WebTech360 affirms that Antebellum is not a horror movie. This is definitely a psychological movie and it causes fear to viewers by exposing the human cruelty of treating others, mainly because of the racist ideology too harsh. The word "horror" appearing in the Vietnamese title of the film will probably be more suitable for people of color in the US , but for Vietnamese audiences, when watching the film, it will be relatively haunted and scary. low because of cultural and ideological differences.

Although the film incorporates some blinding details such as ghosts and spells, in fact these details do not cause any fear for the audience, even when watching until the end of the movie, viewers will feel like. Seeing these details is bullshit and frightening. So, Antebellum is really not as scary as how the movie is promoted and can be seen by all of us without having to scream or cover our eyes.

As for the film's plot, the Terrifying Reality Trap has a relatively slow, slow, and growing beginning and sometimes seems to be off-topic. Until the end of 2/3 of the movie, viewers begin to imagine what the movie wants to tell, then the rhythm of the movie becomes much faster and more attractive. Unfortunately, the end of the film brings a lot of controversy (at least WebTech360 thinks so) because the feeling of the main character is quite cruel as well as the color of " selfie " is a bit too much, it is difficult to bring agreement. sympathy and sympathy in viewers.

The racist factor that Antebellum portrayed is extremely clear, I even think the movie does better than Get Out or Us . I have heard a lot about this issue in American society , but watching the Terrifying Reality Trap can feel the terror in this thought, even during the civil war and even in the modern era like The current. The film's greatest success has been to critique this status quo and bring it to the screen sensitively but subtly.

Besides, Antebellum also highlighted feminism and contradictions in American politics . So, when watching movies, the more time you will feel a bit boring by many lines and bold actions the United States in the film. In addition, the image of the heroine riding across the waves of people fighting each other may make you feel confused, but it is easy to think that these are just images that she imagined herself.

The Real Trap 's weaknesses, apart from the ludicrous details added to make the film more dangerous, there are many absurdities that the movie ignores. It is hard to believe that a park outside the door of visitors is very crowded, but it is impossible to detect a group of people living, burning fire, eating or shooting inside. Not to mention the inspection of the authorities or the perceptions of the people brought here.

After all, the biggest obsession that the movie brings to the audience is that the level of kidnapping in the film has reached the top level. Although the motivations and methods are not explained too clearly, after watching, the audience will feel a little shiver if such an organization exists in real life. The lesson after watching this movie is that before getting on the technology vehicles, please carefully check the number plate and vehicle characteristics. WebTech360 found that the movie plot is relatively simple but not attractive enough, so a 6.5 / 10 mark for this part.

Photos: I was extremely impressed with Antebellum 's one-shot scenewhere the movie, combined with slo-motion technique, gave viewers extremely artistic and beautiful footage. The film color and images selected in the Horror Reality Trap are full of metaphor, reflecting the vision and careful calculation of the production crew. The action in the movie is a bit difficult to follow, partly because the way the film color is chosen in these scenes is quite dark and the rest is due to the relatively branched film rhythm. Overall, the visual part of the movie is doing quite well, so we should score 7/10 .

Sound : WebTech360 is quite fond of the sound of Antebellum because the film uses very suitable symphonic music to contribute to creating attractive and dangerous plot details. Unfortunately, the plot of the Real Trap is not deep enough, so the music can not bring anything that can make a strong impression on viewers. So, I will grade this part 7/10 too, guys.

Acting: We are quite familiar with Kiersey Clemons - who will play Iris West in the movie The Flash (2021), but for Antebellum her role is quite fuzzy and does not show much. The female lead of the movie by Janelle Monáe performed quite well and excelled in about 4/5 of the time of the film, unfortunately at the end of her image was built a little too much, so she lost points in the eyes of the audience. The other characters are acting at a full shoulder level, but the voice is extremely captivating. WebTech360 marks the acting part 7/10 too .

Assessment scale:

IMDB: 6.5 / 10 (89 reviews)

Metascore: 54/100

Rotten Tomatoes: 37/100 ( Rotten Tomatoes )

In a nutshell ,  Antebellum - The Traps of Terrifying Reality is a rather haunting psychological film for black audiences in the US , but in Vietnam , the film is quite foreign and there are still many irrational points that make the film. lengthy and less beautiful. Those who love the above-mentioned movie genre and patiently watch 2/3 of the movie time will feel that this movie that has not reached this horror level is also quite worth watching. Do not set too high expectations for the movie, lest you disappoint you a lot.

And you, how do you rate this movie?
