      Actually, I also want to say that this movie is ok.

      Although I haven't seen many horror films, but compared to other horror films, this film does not use those vulgar bloody pictures and sudden appearance of ghosts and snakes, and it really has a burden to shake when it climaxes.
      It can be regarded as a small fresh thriller.
      In fact, when the protagonist was hiding under the pool table, and there were two men and a little girl outside, I suddenly thought that this might be talking about a reincarnation, similar to a horror cruise ship,...

      This is an excellent film, I must say

      There are many criteria for judging whether a movie is good or bad. First of all, I didn't stop for a moment from beginning to end. The first thing that attracted me was the shot that started to shoot from above. The picture is quiet and beautiful, and the angle is unique. In many cases, one shot determines the tone of the film. Next, the camera moved down and gradually followed the female pig's feet, which made people feel like being in the scene. The whole scene from the height to following...

      Childhood shadow of split personality

      I was alone at home, because it was daytime, so I took the liberty to choose a shocking movie to watch.

      Sarah is very pure, the opening is not terrible, but a little warm. But as the hut by the lake is cleaned up with his father, the sound effects of the scene begin to creep in. My father was hurt, but I didn't know who was hurt, and I could only hear the clumsy sound of hitting the wall.

      What puzzles me is that it is sunny outside, but it is dark inside. Why is it arranged...

      frighten yourself

      The beginning of the film is very beautiful, light and quiet, and I have a premonition that it is a European literary film.

      In fact, it is indeed quite literary. It takes a little brain to understand what the story is talking about. The first time I really didn't understand it, I was waiting for a bloody Hulaji monster or more people to die, but it didn't. Is the heroine's own demon. The theme is already higher than other crude benzene horror films.

      I don't think it's scary....

      long shoot

      The director eventually admitted to using cut points in the film, and more than once! The female lead performed well, and the running part was too shaken. I don't know if it was intentional, or it was the photographer's fault. The whole film uses long shots cleverly, so it's not a masterpiece, but the storyline is better than those so-called one-shots. In the end, the so-and-so Ark movie is very boring. The long-lens focusing and lighting are a big problem. Watching this movie, I didn’t fall...

      I'm curious about the reason that inspired Miss SARA's personality split. If this is just an ordinary day, if her father and her uncle died early, it's all her intentions. Wouldn't it be better? No matter how good the actors are, no matter how good the actors are, and the screenwriters are not good enough, it's all in vain. This drama is very unreasonable. SARA has been lurking by his father's side for so long before the split and revenge succeeded, and his father suddenly turned into a...

    Movie plot

    Sarah ( Elizabeth Olsen ) experiences a terrifying night at her family's vacation home by the lake, including what kind of horrific ordeal she's been through, as she's completely imprisoned in this ever-growing city. The bigger the house, the more frightening it means that Sarah has no way to get in touch with the outside world, and wherever she goes, there are cameras that follow her all the way, especially as she tries to figure out...

    Filming process

    The original film used the one-shot-to-the-end technique quite boldly in filming, and this remake also uses the one-shot to the end technique. For this type of shooting, Laura Lau admitted that it was extremely difficult to shoot because the whole filming took place in one house. Before filming, Laura Lau and Chris Kentis were in the house walking and rehearsing over and over again, designing shots, movements, framing angles, and more....

    Evaluation action

    Although "The Silent House" is full of many flaws, the performance of the heroine Elizabeth Olsen cannot be ignored. From "Double Martha" to this film, her acting skills are always worthy of admiration. ("Denver Post" review)
    Sarah, the character in the film, looks a little stupid, but Elizabeth Olsen's performance is not ridiculous, because it makes you believe that if you enter this house, you can't do anything about it. ("Time"...
