AT bold, from HBO Max, darkness is everything. This is the limit that separates the life and death of the characters. The moment when the most disturbing mysteries are revealed and the boundary with the most terrifying moments in history becomes clear. Also, this is when the scary creatures that inhabit the forest surrounding the city attack. As if that weren’t enough, this is also the moment when the greatest horrors show up in the most unexpected faces.
Is this place out of time and reality? A deliberate project with a terrifying purpose? The series beats all possible scenarios, but focuses on one moment. Whatever happens, happens in the dark, in the gloom. And this is emphasized precisely by the use of the night resource as the focus of action.
The production surprised with its ability to use horror movie codes to create something completely new. Based on the idea of an inexplicable city from which it is impossible to escape, the plot also explores primal horror. From the terrifying forest that surrounds the population to the use of natural elements to make it clear that danger is everywhere. bold manages to build a scenario in eternal transformationwhich also demonstrates the script’s ability to tell an unpredictable story.
But, unlike other similar stories, there is no explicit definition of terror in it, which turned out to be the greatest success of the plot. The series progresses little by little amid disparate data that creates an increasingly horrifying scenario. However, it does not do so in the usual ways of the genre. On the contrary, the production takes a long time to create an atmosphere that maintains a sense of urgency.
Of course, this is not the first time that horror has used such a point of view. But this is the first time that the rarefied atmosphere, which becomes more violent and cruel as night falls, has such an effect. Cause? Three central plot points that they use shadows as a special idea to emphasize the drama or power of the story..
Open the doors to a sinister story
AT bold, hiding a number of monstrous creatures. But they don’t just hide in the dark. In addition, they force the villagers to decide what they must do in order to survive. As soon as night falls, both this place and its surroundings become a space of hidden danger. It is also the source of all sorts of questions.
Why does the power grid work if there is no conductive material inside the cables, voids in houses and on the streets? What makes some residents turn into real monsters after dark? darkness in bold It’s not just a way to create tension.
This allows you to recreate eerie settings that support the story. In the shadows, it’s much clearer that the city is holding on to some inexplicable phenomenon.. So furious, brutal and total that he is able to change the way we perceive time and space.
The answers hide in the dark
Is this a supernatural event? In other productions, the use of darkness often allows an element of the inexplicable to emerge. But in bold, strange and unique goes to another level. While some characters are trying to figure out why electrical appliances work in impossible conditions, others are faced with neighbors who have turned into terrifying creatures. Anxiety does not appear in the shadows, as is often the case in traditional horror films, but in the dark.
Much more as the series moves towards puzzles that also include gloom as the physical boundary of something terrifying. AT bold everything has certain limits. The city determines – or what happens in it – how far in the forest or along the paths surrounding it, its inhabitants can go.
Darkness does the same. And again, characters must deal with the possibility that shadows are not just the absence of light. At the same time, how the phenomenon that occurs in the city is manifested. Without sunlight, monsters roam the streets. At the same time, manifestations of the terrifying take on a different aspect.
boldan argument based on the invisible
Much of the success bold it comes from everything the plot hints at but never shows. Even though he was outspoken and, on many occasions, confusing in his violence. Despite the display of blood, disembowelled bodies and traces of roaming creatures, the script carefully guards its secrets. What produces something like this? What maintains the quality of the whirlwind of a strange place depicting bold?
As night falls, any trace of normality disappears in the series. Little by little, the series uses the play of dawn and daylight to suggest a certain rhythm in the midst of apparently chaotic events. Even to suggest that this could be caused by the circumstance.
Basically the season finale. bold makes it clear that not everything that happens in the city is accidental. Apart from the obvious fact that the twilight allows mysterious creatures to hide, darkness is a mysterious mechanism. One that could become the closest perception of the center of those horrors that the plot of an interesting production keeps in itself.
