The metropolitan metro does not cease to excite the minds of domestic filmmakers, inspiring the creation of new paintings. This can be confirmed by the new domestic horror "Diggers" (front-end actors: Roman Evdokimov and Anna Vasilyeva). In Russia, the premiere of the film took place in early August 2016.
Reference Russian trash
By the definition of Russian film critics, “Diggers” is a typical representative of the horror genre in atypical Russian realities with a set of shortcomings, but at the same time with an original and unpredictable final twist that includes a bad idea. Still, Russian filmmakers are slowly mastering a somewhat unusual genre of the national film industry, trying their best to make the viewer really scared while watching.
The horror "Diggers", the actors and whose roles after the premiere screening got a lot of fans, was created by debut director Tikhon Kornev in tandem with the creative duet of scriptwriters Alexei Karaulov and Evgeny Kolyadintsev. The debut cannot be called a failure, despite the fact that its rating is low - IMDb: 4.20. The authors, with an enviable ingenuity, removed the reference Russian trash. That is how the actors “Diggers” positioned themselves in the shooting.
Leading actors
During the casting for the main roles, the authors watched 200 candidates. In the movie "Diggers", the actors and roles were selected each other with the direct participation of the director. In order for the viewer to believe in history, Tikhon Kornev basically did not recruit well-known artists. Therefore, film critics noted the selection of little-known artists who look great in the surroundings of a nightmare.
Anna Vasilyeva, the performer of the main role of Dasha, deserved special praise from the experts. The Russian actress combined in the image of her heroine the features of Ellen Ripley from the Alien series and Angela from Reportage. The girl is a professional stuntman, gained fame after turning into Masha "Umka" in the television movie "Gamers".
The role of the male protagonist, Artyom, was played by the charismatic Roman Evdokimov. Graduate of VTU named after Shchepkina has ten projects on her account, of which the majority of the television series, for example: “There Never Happens”, “Healing” and “Secret to the Whole World”.
In the entourage of a nightmare
Not bad coped with the role of cosplayer Dina, who imagined herself the heroine of the shooter, actress-debutante Maria Shchekaturova. Thanks to her efforts, the initial shots of the horror are documented. The actress, being in the image and make-up, went to St. Petersburg to the "Starkon" festival, where she filmed an action happening around herself on a GoPro camera. It is safe to say that together with the director the actors shot the “Diggers” tape. This has become a very interesting solution.
Russian theater and film actor Yevgeny Koryakovsky was one of the experienced performers on the set of the horror. He began his career with theatrical stages, now his filmography includes more than 25 multi-genre films. Esenin and Primadonna stand out among them.
Frightening traits
Actors of the film "Diggers", embodying the director’s idea, created eccentric and even frightening characters that are inherent in the horror movie genre.
A native of China, the talented vocalist Ding Fang, created a unique character that the viewer will surely remember for the fiery swearing speech made in Chinese. The actor has been actively acting in films since 2010 (“Crew”, “Everything Started in Harbin”), is a member of the Guild of Actors of Russia.
Andrei Levin, formerly known as a dubbing actor, played the role of Digger. His filmography includes about 20 works (The Battalion, Cop Wars, The Young Guard), but his voice speaks more than 70 heroes of foreign paintings in the national box office (Tron. Uprising, Penguins of Madagascar, People in Black -3 "," Jennifer's Body ").
Kirill Kobzarev embodied Leo on the screen. The performer actively starred in domestic feature films and TV shows: “Streets of Broken Lights”, “Best Enemies”, “Alien Nest”, “Battalion”, “Trap”, “Last Battle”. Horror "Diggers" actors proposed to devote to the memory of Kobzarev, as a 35-year-old artist died in an accident in 2015 before the premiere of the tape.
A nightmare underground
The film "Diggers", the actors and roles of which are the undoubted advantage of the tape, has other strengths - an exciting plot, an impressive visual series, as well as the sincere creators of the horror creators for their offspring and genre in general. It is noticeable that for authors the film is not just another step in the career ladder and a “tick” in a creative resume. The picture compares favorably with previous domestic experiments in the style of “nightmares underground” like “Phobos” and “Trackman”. The work is worth recommending for viewing, if only because of the fact that you learn what new legend was presented by the Moscow metro director Kornev.
