Plot and reviews of the movie "The itinerary is built" (2016)

Released on the eve of the Day of Laughter horror film "Route built" - this is a competent domestic genre project, in no way inferior to the Western horror category "B", directed by someone like Jason Bloom.

At a good level

The new horror of Oleg Asadulin is not the debut work of the director in the mystical genre. On his account there are quite successful television films "The Ship" and "Closed School". The director has experience of successful cooperation with leading Russian movie stars: Victoria Isakova, Andrey Merzlikin and Vladimir Menchov, which is an exceptional quality mark in the modern film industry today. Therefore, from his new offspring in advance expected high quality - and in general, as the reviews of the film "Route is built," the producer did not drop the brand. Producers of the tape, correctly estimating the growth in popularity and popularity in the Russian Federation of the genre "mysticism and thriller", approved a rather high (for domestic cinema) budget of 1,000,000 rubles. And they did not fail, the genre project won a loyal and wide audience, which is a guarantee of the recoupment of their investments. According to IMDb rating of the tape is low - 4.60, but the indicator of its expectations is impressive -73%. Reviews of the movie "The route is built," produced by domestic film critics, mostly positive.

Horror about the value of the family

Naturally, when mentioning "bad machines", first of all, the tape of the genre's true admirer comes to the mind of the genre, which is considered by right the classics - "Christina" by John Carpenter and "Maximal acceleration", staged by Stephen King. However, the "Itinerary built" reviews about the film are defined as a movie of a slightly different plan. In it, of course, there are steering wheel and pedals that do not obey the driver, pushing themselves, but, in general, this story is not about the tricks of otherworldly entities, not about the spirit-obsessed car, but about people. All the rest of the devilry only deepens and widens the crack in the relationship between Olga and Andrew, the married couple, which inevitably dragged the family into a bottomless abyss.

For all the features of the genre

Still, Asadulina's picture is full of mystical horror, all the main genre components in it are in place and implemented quite confidently, as the leading domestic filmmakers declare, leaving feedback on the film "The Route is Built." Heroes suffer from obsessive hallucinations, a frightening tapping is periodically heard in the trunk, a country road leads in circles through the forest wilderness - in principle nothing innovative, something that the fans of the genre have not seen before. Of course, we saw, but not with domestic performers who "do not swim", but play brightly and strongly and not on Russian material. Therefore, in a particular case, the spectators are triggered by the effect of "our, my dear".

Plot. Carefully spoilers

The plot of the film "Route built" is relatively secondary. The main characters are the married couple Andrey (Pavel Chinarev) and Olya (Svetlana Ustinova). They have been married for more than seven years, have a daughter, but their marriage can not be called happy. The excessive emotionality and hysteria of Olga exhausted Andrei, and he found solace in the arms of another woman. The deception opened, Olga seemed to forgive the traitor, but she had a sediment in her heart. In an attempt to reanimate the relationship, the heroes leave for a joint vacation, but first they go to Yaroslavl to leave their daughter for the grandmother. Before the trip, Andrei manages to buy a used car in good condition for a ridiculous price. The fact is that the car has a dark past. His former owner killed his wife, dismembered the corpse and hid it in the trunk of the ill-fated car. Because of this, her spirit settled in the car and was pretty wild. The crime was solved, the culprit was taken into custody, the deceased's body was buried, the car was washed and put up for sale. But the vindictive ghost remained in it. He will not leave the new owners alone.

Not without a creative

It's no secret that modern horror stories can be classified according to the approach of the creators to the process of atmospheric injection. Some inflate the voltage to the limit, the second actively use the screamers, "bu-effects." Reviews of the movie "The Route is Built" refers the project to the second category, but any frightening surprises in the tape are realized fairly competently, at times more professionally than in some foreign third-rate horror. Bu-moments in the horror of Oleg Asadulin appear with enviable constancy, so the viewer does not have time to prepare or relax.

The development of the plot action is rather frisky, although more often only one location is used - the space of the car. The undoubted advantage of horror is the creativity of the evil entity, which manifests itself in a very diverse way. From annoying creaking and tapping, the ghost passes to the game with the car stereo and navigator, and then switches to manipulating consciousness and objects - in general, the spirit brings a lot of horror to the characters.

Advantages of horror

The actors of the film "The Route is Built", by the recognition of the audience, are one of the merits of the tape. They convincingly played the roles of their characters. Andrew in the performance of Pavel Chinarev - a tough, stubborn, secretive and stupid man. Olga, in which Svetlana Ustinova was reincarnated - hysterical, without measure, an irritable woman. They are at least not the prettiest couple, the spouses are close to the final rupture, too many claims and grievances have accumulated. It is difficult to empathize with such characters, but whatever the parents, the unhappy child of meeting with a fierce ghost did not deserve. For horror attention to the personal problems of the characters is not typical, but it clearly ennobles the film. Script writer Ivan Kapitonov and director Oleg Asadulin intentionally play the dynamics of relations of their heroes, which in the enclosed space of the car are heated very quickly. In the peak moments of heat, when the chaos of nightmarish events does not stop, the heroes give up their nerves, and the connection with reality becomes more and more thin, and they literally fly off the reels. The creative duet of the main actors is very convincing here.

disadvantages

All of the above does not mean that the film is perfect. Dialogues are oversaturated with "literary", not typical of contemporaries, occasionally jumping annoying bloopers in the behavior of heroes, and the final part is buried in blood streams and demonstrations of swarming worms. In addition, the third part of the audience after the views, according to the comments left, did not understand what the movie "Route built" ended with.

The creators of the game risked putting the culmination on its head, issuing an unpredictable twist. The idea deserves praise, but its implementation is lame. The final feint of the spirit as a whole is useless and meaningless for a scenario where it would be simpler to routinely ditch all the characters, leaving a reserve for the sequel - the continuation of the film "The Route is Built." A full film by the standards of the domestic horror genre is one of the best at the moment, therefore its second part, most likely, was also commercially successful.
