The film's premiere received excellent reviews, and word-of-mouth marketing was put on the agenda by the crew and Warner Bros. that night.
Early the next morning, from print media to Internet websites, there was a chorus of applause for The Mountain Has Eyes.
"After Scream, The Hills Have Eyes is Wes Craven's best horror film!"
It's a pity that it's not a series of movies, otherwise under the influence of Martin, it would have been called the best in the series again and again.
In this regard, Craven can only be used to make a fuss.
Variety, Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, and the Los Angeles Times, among others, all gave positive reviews.
Rotten Tomatoes opened the day after the premiere, with a fresh rating of 78%.
In the ratings included on the MTC website, media people gave the film an average of 68 points.
This is a horror movie!
Not only does it have a stellar reputation in the media, it is also a top-of-the-range choice.
The praise mainly focused on the combination of horror and action, as well as the performance of the male protagonist Martin.
"With one man, one dog and one bat, Martin Davis fully demonstrates the rage a husband and father can unleash when in extreme pain!"
Some media wrote: "Martin Davis is crazier than a murderer in the second half of the film, but he is heartwarming. Shouldn't a real man be like him?"
There were also humorous comments from gossip newspapers like "American Hearing": "American movie fans and travelers are tortured by all kinds of perverts and tremble all day long. This time Martin Davis stood up and gave a wonderful performance to the film. Everyone let out a bad breath, and normal people finally stood up in horror and murder movies, instead of being so stupid that they drive people crazy!"
Kenneth Turan from the Los Angeles Times was extremely positive about Martin's acting skills.
"The young Martin Davis perfectly performed the process of how a good person transforms into an angry person. He transformed that kind of person under extreme pain and sorrow into angry and revengeful emotions. He expressed it vividly, and then his revenge became natural. The twisted expressions and bloody massacres did not cause any discomfort, but made people couldn’t help but cheer.”
"A father rescuing his children from a devil's cave, that's pretty much it. Martin Davis gave a classic interpretation."
There were mostly positive voices in the media.
There are constant positive reviews on film websites such as IMDB on the Internet.
"Martin is so cool. The father he plays is so brave. I wish my father could be like him."
"Facts have proved that you should not mess with a father who has courage, courage, strategy and skill."
"In order to save the child, no amount of perverted murderers will be enough for Martin to kill!"
"This is a horror movie, but Martin uses his twisted acting skills to tell everyone what family love and warmth are."
The outsourcing company that undertook viral marketing took on a new job, building reputation for "The Mountain Has Eyes" on the Internet.
Martin went to visit the cast of "Pretty Woman" the next day, constantly exposing new gossip.
Some gossip newspapers and websites even published articles confidently stating that Martin would propose to Anne soon, and even the plans for the proposal were revealed.
The decryption website, which has been renamed "The Mountain Has Eyes", released a video showing the audience at the premiere cheering crazily for Martin.
It's easy to think that the movie must be very exciting to make fans so excited.
A video was also posted on many websites and entertainment blogs, which was said to be shot by a fan. Hundreds of viewers were clamoring to buy repeated tickets to watch "The Mountain Has Eyes."
All of this was delivered to the North American public through media channels extending in all directions.
Because the film has a quality foundation, Warner Bros. will market it like this, otherwise it will suffer backlash after it is released.
After the premiere, Martin was not idle. As the first weekend of February came, he and Annie appeared at the Super Bowl together.
This scheming man would take the initiative to kiss Annie whenever the game was suspended or otherwise interrupted.
They also frequently perform wet kisses, showing their affection and at the same time giving them a sense of presence.
Before the intermission, Annie felt her lips were burning and she said politely: "Martin, you are too enthusiastic today."
Martin looked at Anne affectionately: "I want everyone to know how deep my love for you is!"
Anne ignored her lips and took the initiative to kiss Martin, and the two appeared on the TV screen again.
During the intermission, in addition to traditional performances, there are also important advertising moments. Since the success of "Independence Day" in 1997 with Super Bowl advertising, Super Bowl advertising has become a repertoire of Hollywood movies.
Martin saw ads for two movies he was associated with, "The Hills Have Eyes" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
The latter would allow Angelina Jolie to turn around and thus lead to "Wanted."
If one's own appeal is not enough, it is inevitable to take advantage of the situation.
By the last quarter of the game, Annie's lips were not burning, but painful and a little swollen.
Martin felt sorry for Anne and did not kiss her again in the last section.
The main reason is that there are too many scenes in the front, so the director probably won’t give more shots.
In fact, in the third quarter of the game, the director in the studio was scolding: "These shameless couple, are they coming to watch the game? Or are they here to take advantage of our cameras? Don't give them any cameras! Don't give them any!"
This is the consensus of everyone in the studio. That's so shameless for Hollywood stars!
There was a close-up shot, and they could see clearly that the woman's mouth was swollen from being kissed, and she even took the initiative to move closer.
What's so good about Martin Davis? Anne Hathaway doesn't even have the face.
After the Super Bowl, Martin sent Annie back to Los Angeles and followed the crew on non-stop promotions, mainly to New York and Chicago, participating in local radio, television and road shows.
In addition, Warner Bros. announced that "The Mountain Has Eyes" will participate in this year's Saturn Awards and Teen Choice Awards.
The latter was founded in 1999, and its influence among young people is gradually increasing.
The Mountain Has Eyes will be nominated for Best Horror Scene in a Movie.
When Martin returned to Los Angeles, the film was just one day away from its full release.
Alexander Aja specially made an appointment with him and Craven to go to the nightclub to relax.
The three of them got rid of the paparazzi and entered the strip club they frequented through the back door. After selecting suitable dancers, they went to the VIP room on the second floor.
Because the tip was enough, the three dancers went to do the cleaning.
When the car lights illuminated the faces of the three of them, Martin and the others were particularly clear-headed and their thinking was particularly active.
Ajia stuffed the tip, washed her face with the car light, and said, "I can finally relax a little."
Martin pointed his middle finger at him: "What are you afraid of? In the worst case, I will go back to France to shoot woodpeckers."
Ajia asked: "Will you be the leading actor for me?"
Craven said: "Martin has a lot of experience. He danced with the Queen of the Sacred Valley in Zombie Gigolo."
"Yes, I have seen it." Ajia was curious: "You guys..."
Martin interrupted directly: "Please, I am a professional actor with good character. Acting is acting."
"Now that he has Anne, he doesn't care about that anymore." Ajia stuffed another tip, her face washed clean by the headlights. “We have competitors, also in the horror thriller genre,” he said.
Martin has already seen the film schedule: "Are you talking about "The Evil Dead" released by Curtain Pictures? Man, don't be afraid, we have Craven on hand!"
Craven responded: "The key is this weekend, next weekend will be Valentine's Day."
Martin stuffed a tip and said before being washed away: "Will Smith's "Rivals" will be released by then."
Ajia asked: "The genres are very different, and the audiences are different, right?"
Martin wanted to speak, but before he could finish his words, he was pressed up by the washing machine, turning into a gurgling voice.
After washing his face, he added: "Now Will Smith is killing men, women, old and young."
Craven was blocked by the headlights and couldn't speak.
Ajia finished washing her face and said, "The box office in the first week is very important."
Craven spat out the headlights: "North America accounts for more than a third of the box office."
Martin said: "Warner Bros.'s distribution capabilities cannot be matched by Screenplay."
The movie will be released in full tomorrow, and the three of them left before ten o'clock. This time, not only Martin, but also Ajia and Craven didn't take anyone with them.
Bruce drove the car and waited at the back door while Martin got in the car and they headed back to North Hollywood.
Martin said: "I asked you to go up but you didn't go up."
Bruce looked very professional: "I want to protect your retreat." He turned to ask: "The scandal that you are going to propose to Anne is very popular in the media, but Anne didn't ask you?"
"A person of my caliber will definitely be serious once he proposes." Martin said it as if it were true: "Don't you think Antonio lives a very chic life?"
Bruce got straight to the point: "If you want to be a scumbag, just say it. You don't have to drag the fat landlord with you."
Martin thought for a while: "We'll talk about it after a while."
Bruce asked: "She took the initiative to confess her love to you. What if I force you to express your love? Are you going to be a scumbag?"
"No, I am definitely not a scumbag." Martin said categorically: "If you don't take the initiative, you won't make a commitment...so you can't take the initiative to break up."
Bruce thought that this bastard in the passenger seat would be thrown into hell and Satan wouldn't accept it: "What do you want to do?"
Martin thought carefully: "Old Bu, as a good man, it is reasonable and reasonable to test the woman's love."
Bruce said, "Don't call me that if you do bad things."
Martin sighed: "Jin and Jin's sister..."
Bruce chose to compromise.
The so-called test will definitely have to wait, after all, the film is about to be officially released.
At 4 p.m. on Thursday, the advance screening of "The Mountain Has Eyes" was released in advance in 3,280 theaters in North America.
In Martin's blog and fan group, die-hards led by Rachel have called on those who support Martin to watch it sometimes, and there are many responders.
Fans, even if they have no food to eat and live on the streets, they still have to buy tickets and support.
Passersby audiences were influenced by the publicity and marketing and also chose this film.
Of the two films that were released on a large scale this week, most people chose "The Mountain Has Eyes" first.
The advance box office is as high as 4.25 million US dollars!
Nearly double the $2.28 million of "The Evil Dead".
The following Friday, "The Mountain Has Eyes" unsurprisingly won the box office title on its opening day, with a box office of US$10.51 million.
Three days after its first weekend, the film topped the North American box office chart with $34.15 million!
The second-largest company has less than $20 million.
