      Horror fans can ignore

      First of all, it should be emphasized that this is only a small-budget film, not a real "documentary". If it's a real record, it's really scary, but unfortunately it's just a movie made in the form of a "record".

      After watching this film, I just feel that the life of Westerners is too comfortable, and such a plot can be scared half to death. A lot of the plot in the film is something we have heard since childhood or seen in countless Japanese horror films. So, if you love horror...

      Fear, an unstoppable movie dream


      I fell in love with movies, "Ghost Ship" and "The Grudge",

      as well as "Ghost in the Office", "Mountain Village Old Corpse"...

      But since the real horror was submerged in blood,

      I have no interest in opening any of them. A movie featuring ghosts.

      The movie "Smart", I watched it three times,

      once because of something, and once because I really couldn't watch it anymore,

      it was the 18th night,

      fear, fear that I haven't felt...

      From the point of view that it managed to waste an hour and a half of your time, this movie is really scary.

      It is said that the film with a production fee of 11,000 US dollars has already won nearly 110 million US dollars at the global box office. However, I quite believe that these people were fooled into the theater by Paramount's movie promotion! ......

      Because I sat in front of the computer and watched the whole movie for 1 hour and 26 minutes, and felt that 1 hour and 25 minutes were wasted. Only the last minute at the end made you feel like watching a ghost movie. .....Assuming you...

      The new wave of fake documentaries. . If 1999's "Blair Witch" pioneered, then this film can be said to have achieved word-of-mouth! Regarding good and bad, I remain neutral~~ After all, the results and shooting techniques are very unique!...

      Too stupid. When you wake up in the middle of the night to find a ghost, you can't turn on the big lights and turn on the camera's light. If you are afraid of ghosts, you will even open the door to sleep. Opening the door twice is also called terror? Throughout the whole film, I heard the heroine keep calling and calling, she has to go upstairs and downstairs for a while, please come to please, it's...

    Movie plot

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film is the directorial debut of Oren Paley.
    On how to capture some noise and movement outside the bedroom, the actor Michael Slott provided a lot of professional advice, because when he was in college, he was a cameraman on the school TV station, and sometimes Oren Perry even I had to ask him about the use of the camera, such as whether the mirror should be turned off.
    The original plan was to enter the DVD market in early 2008, but...

    Creative background

    Oren Perry, the director and screenwriter of "Smart: Ghost Record", was engaged in the programming of animation and computer games before filming the film. After having a girlfriend, he had the idea to settle down, so he chose a house in the suburbs of the city. But living in a quiet suburban area can always easily detect every tiny sound, especially in the middle of the night. Two years later, Oren Perry had this idea: It would be...

    Shooting process

    Even if Oren Perry felt that Katie Fidstone and Michael Slott did not need performance guidance, he still set some rules: improvisation is fine, but don’t use each other’s too much. Name, and don’t make compulsive statements. On this basis, Oren Perry also applied some similar conventions, as much as possible to make the sound and scenery also reflect the naturalistic effect. Similarly, he hoped that the sound can also produce a very...

    Evaluation action

    "Smart: Ghost Record" is a unique horror movie. It uses horror as a selling point and adopts the method of "just talk but not show" to create suspense. Its story is very simple, but terrifying: a young couple was frightened by the strange sound of their house at night, so they decided to place a camera in the bedroom to capture potential "weird phenomena". This kind of story, combined with the pseudo-documentary format, makes it both...

    Movie quotes

    • Micah: [Micah replays the tape of him questioning the entity, when he asks "Would you like to you the Ouija board?" he hears a grunt] I'll take one for yes, two for no.

    • Micah: Well, basically it could be two things: it could be a ghost...

      [mock whisper]

      Micah: or it could be a demon.

      Katie: Dr. Fredrichs said that it wasn't a ghost.

      Micah: Well, I've been going by the evidence and I'm doin' my research and I'm going to find out what it is.

      Katie: Well, whatever it is that's following me, it doesn't feel... it doesn't feel human. It feels like it's... it feels like a monster. I mean like, it wants to hurt me.

      Micah: Well that sounds like, actually like a demon.

      Katie: Yeah, that's what he said.

      Micah: Well, 'cause ghosts are spirits of human beings.

      Katie: Yeah, it's definitely not human.

      Micah: Then maybe you're right, which is bad 'cause demons suck.

    • Micah: [discussing demons] Basically, they're these malevolent evil spirits that only exist to cause pain and commit evil for their own amusement. It's pretty creepy- I mean, they stalk people for years, like decades, and sometimes they're really intelligent in the way they do things to freak you out.
