Compared with "Travel to Busan", the film is simpler, and it is a horror film that is willing to be naive. Everything in it runs under the framework of established standards. Although the ending is a bit hasty, it still has a textbook-like layout. In addition to pure horror stimulation, the film also covers the probing of human nature
.
In order to create the feeling of a "game", compared with the previous Korean horror films, "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum" puts all its skills on creating sensory stimulation, completely abandoning the in-depth "grudges" of the previous Korean horror films. To show, to portray the relationship between people is also the end. This approach makes the film a bit boring, but it magnifies the "horror" further
.
The rhythm of the whole movie is very general, about two-thirds of the time is very boring, and too much pen and ink is used to explain the background. There is not even a plot, and the horror scenes are concentrated in the last 30 minutes, causing every second to be a climax, and people can't breathe. Even so, in just 30 minutes, the film can be easily named in the history of horror films, and it has become the object of learning and reference for many horror films
.
The special feature of the film is that more than 95% of the shots of the film are handed over to the actors for shooting. At most, 20 cameras can capture images in all directions without blind spots, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in it. The relationship between the role and the role of the camera is quite pure, the redundant content is eliminated, and the space itself becomes one of the roles. No additional sound effects are added to the film, only simultaneous recording is used, which may make the film look refined and slightly less refined, but it is also more realistic because of this.
.
Compared with past pseudo-documentary horror movies, the biggest feature of this film is the large number of cameras and perspectives. With the “live broadcast” setting, it provides viewers with a desktop perspective that can be split screen and slow-motion playback. Basically all the techniques of pseudo-documentary have been used. Under the circumstance that the quality of the film itself is guaranteed to a certain extent, the film used the gimmick of the subject matter and the methods of predecessors to achieve its phenomenal level at an appropriate moment.
