Netflix 原創恐怖美劇《黑暗夏日》(Black Summer)甫上線就受到不少活屍迷關注。由於故事設定在病毒爆發初時,因此也讓觀眾相比另一部背景設定相似的代表性影集《陰屍路》(The Walking Dead),誰優誰劣在網路上出現激烈辯論。以下就來看看國外網友們如何評價兩部作品。
網友 Steve Freeman 認為《黑暗夏日》就像是沒有好故事、好演技、好攝影、好的角色發展和好佈景的《陰屍路》,「我現在只看到第二集,希望能有個廣告,並支持著活屍把他們全殺了。」
The new series Black Summer on Netflix is just like The Walking Dead without the great story, acting, cinematography, character development and scenery. I’m only in episode 2 and I’m wishing for a commercial break and rooting for the zombies to kill them all. #blacksummer

另一名網友 Sulav Khatiwada 則是嘗試看了一集《黑暗夏日》就放棄了。他表示,有人說這部劇會是下一個《陰屍路》,但他認為差得遠了。
Black Summer released today on Netflix. Watched the first episode and i gave up. They said it's going to takeover walking dead. It's not even close. #PoorMansWalkingDead.

不過也有網友持相反意見。Adam III 認為《黑暗夏日》比起《陰屍路》要更為恐怖。原因是更加的真實,劇本感沒有這麼重,呈現出人類在末日時的真實反應。
Man if you're looking for a new good realistic zombie apocalypse show 'Black Summer' on Netflix.

I like it more than 'The Walking Dead.' It's more real. Feels less scripted and more how people would actually react in an apocalypse.
And it's actually scary.
此外,也有不少人比較了《陰屍路》和《黑暗夏日》的活屍。相比《陰屍路》,《黑暗夏日》的活死人的確跑得非常的快,讓網友幽默表示,如果活在《黑暗夏日》世界中,絕對需要更多的彈藥。更用橄欖球名將比爾羅曼諾夫斯基(Bill Romanowski)來比喻。
If the Zombie Apocalypse is gonna be Like Black Summer instead of The Walking Dead.. I need more Ammo..

Zombies runnin after niggas like they Bill Romanowski
目前《黑暗夏日》爛番茄指數為 50%,IMDb評分僅 6.5,相比《陰屍路》首季評價其實遜色不少。
雖然《黑暗夏日》改編自《殭屍國度》(Z Nation)同名前傳漫畫,但整體風格差距甚大,就連女主角潔米金(Jaime King)當初接洽演出時都不知道這件事。
雖然評價普普,但《黑暗夏日》製作團隊已有規劃多季的計畫,就等 Netflix 點頭同意續訂了。(comicbook)
