      late

      I think that most of the film reviews were written more than ten years ago. I only watched it tonight. How can I say it is a very strange horror film. After watching it, I still think about the hero's father who died a long time ago. The back is empty but the "perfect puppet" that has been manipulated all the time! No one in this family can escape this curse, including those who talk a lot about this curse, only the old grandma who is not in good spirits is fine, because no one will believe...

      I have already heard of Wen Ziren's old movie "Dead Silence". I have seen director Wen's "Hidden" series and "Conjuring" series before. The combination of Chinese and Western horror techniques is extremely brilliant, Chinese style, more precisely, Hong Kong style ghosts. Horror movies generally pay attention to one thing and one thing. If there is a ghost, there must be a ghost exorcist. Therefore, the Hong Kong-style ghost movie was born Wu Ma, Lin Zhengying and other ghost...

      The second time I saw it, it was even more terrifying

      When I was in college, I watched this movie because of a classmate's recommendation. I have always watched domestic zombie movies and ghost movies. This horror movie is like a spring breeze. I have never felt the horror atmosphere really surround me. The movie has contact with the master Wen Ziren, which is too awesome. After getting married, I watched Dead Silence again with my pregnant wife. The horror is really timeless. Watch it again, the same atmosphere. The puppet dolls in the movie...

      I'm just thinking about it, I can't write a short review until I post this, don't click in to see it.

      3.5 stars, there are too few good ghost movies.

      When my father appeared on the stage, he felt a little strange when he saw his face, but he didn't think much about it. Before the ending, he had guessed that his father had already died, and his stepmother was a bad person (I watched a lot of Chinese horror movies, and I guessed that the stepmother was a bad person, there is no ghost, everything is She directed and acted in order to inherit their family's fortune)

      It's good that...
