On the surface, the scary tricks of "Latent 2" are also eternal. The female ghost floats, the lights go out, the piano plays automatically, the stroller walks around, the door opens and closes on its own, and there are ghosts that can only be seen in the photos and mirrors. The most exciting part of this movie is that it is not killed. The unbelief "rationality" is foolish, making the audience scolding stupid while rushing, and everyone is open-minded, with above-average intelligence, neither insulting nor underestimating the audience's IQ, constructing a detective game that fairly challenges IQ . This is in the same line as the interactive suspense technique of "Chain Saw". It is amazing to be shocked, but in the situation where the mystery is completely explained, the audience can get more satisfaction when they come up with the truth on their own. "Chain Saw" is like solving geometric problems, repeated calculations, and one-time puzzle solving at the end. The film is like a Spring Festival lantern riddle, with large and small puzzle faces interlaced, and the intellectual fun is even better. Various small details of the film are supporting it. It is not the special effects that restrict the scary horror film, but the imagination. The life-and-death confrontation in the third act is particularly exciting, with fierce ghosts demanding their lives, parallel rescues, traveling between the two worlds, traveling against time, just like "Inception", "Back to the Future" and "The Exorcist" are in the same heat, nervously buckled Apart from the people, he shakes away a lot of foreshadowing burdens, so that people can admire the extraordinary clue weaving and wonderful scene scheduling while there is no time to breathe. In the end, a detective game that crossed the yin and yang realms came to an end, but the battle between humans and ghosts seemed to have just begun. As the film's opening emphasized, this is just Chapter 2.
From the opening prelude to the plot line at the end, each scene is filled with a strong sense of horror, and the level of shock is more dense than that of "Calling the Soul"; this episode will "The Shining" to return to the soul, and it is like his earlier. The topic of the hit movie "Calling the Souls" is like playing exorcism, and there is no lack of "Ghosts"-style black humor and horror. Even the childhood of the wronged soul in the play also bears the shadow of Hitchcock's "Scary".
