斯蒂芬·金又一部小说将拍成电影：著名编剧Akiva Goldsman将执导新的《凶火》电影版，讲述一对通过实验获得超能力的夫妻生下一个能遭纵火焰的女儿，政府派出特工绑架小姑娘，试图让她成为武器…父女情很感人。1984年曾有一版电影，德鲁·巴里摩尔演那个小女孩，相当厉害。但那版被斯蒂芬·金称为“自己小说最烂的改编之一，故事倒是忠于原作，但太乏味了，就像酒店自助餐厅的马铃薯泥。”
美国加州某大学，佐伊·麦康奈尔（奥利维亚·王尔德 Olivia Wilde 饰）和恋人兼合作者弗兰克·沃顿（马克·杜普拉斯 Mark Duplass 饰）正在进行一项复生项目，在新人艾娃摄像机的记录下，他们以及团队成员克莱、尼克即将迎来项目的里程碑时刻。历经艰辛，他们的实验终于获得成功，一条早已死亡的狗成功复生。可就在此时，他们的研究内容被校方和资助公司获知，数年来辛勤的研究成果和数据全部被资助方收走。不甘心失败的佐伊和弗兰克等人趁着夜晚再度闯入实验室，谁知期间发生意外，佐伊不幸触电身亡。 悲痛万分的弗兰克抢救无效，这是他突然冒出将尚未确定副作用的血清注入佐伊的身体中……
Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart. Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory? n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in. What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts. On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired. One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places. Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
