      A bad movie is an unstoppable plot

      It's rare to watch a horror movie, but after watching it, I didn't get the expected horror. Speaking of which, after so many years of horror movies, it is indeed difficult for the director to bring forth new ideas in the plot. However, the director should take care of the audience's IQ and tell the story well.

      One of the hallmarks of a bad movie is the wanton delusions in the early stage, it is religion (perhaps it should be called a cult), it is ghosts, and there are some unusual...

      Okay, I'll write the title later

      If sleepiness is a kind of self-preservation for watching horror movies at night, I have to admit that I was woken up a few times in between.
      In fact, I also have to admit that the film is suspenseful for the sake of suspense, as well as all kinds of pictures that are laid out for the sake of presentation, and the atmosphere portrayed for the sake of rendering.

      But I want to say that all this is too contrary to common sense, and it also violates the bottom line of entertainment...

      A veritable "pit father"

      To say "no zuo no die" model, I am afraid that the frustrated writer played by Ethan Hawke is well-deserved. In order to revive the "Xiangfeng", he took his family into danger and lived in a haunted house. Compared with John Cusack's "Phantom and Fierce Room 1408", he really became a "pit father".

          Since the root of the crime is blamed on evil spirits, the atmosphere is definitely better than the bloody scenes of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In "Sinister", watching the movie late...

      I really hate children.

      I went to the cinema with my parents for the first time in more than two years and chose a horror movie. First, it was coming to Halloween. Second, I was afraid that my father would fall asleep watching it. In the end, he still slept soundly. .
       Mom was not frightened at all, I watched many scenes blindfolded. The male protagonist went too far. He didn't even tell his family that he moved into the haunted house. He blamed him for touching things that shouldn't be touched. As a result, the...

      As a horror movie, I really think it's okay

      The continuous low ebb of horror films in the past two years has caused everyone to not have enough adrenaline secretion. At this time, I was very excited to see such a film.
      Objectively speaking, this film is not bad. There is no urine in the whole film. The rhythm and atmosphere are well grasped, and the suspense is not cliché. Family conflicts, night terrors, super8, the bloody little girl, the inner character of the final boss, etc. are quite tasteful. What I feel is that there are a...

    Movie plot

    Ten years ago, true crime writer Ellison Oswatt (Ethan Hawke) became a best-selling novelist because of his detailed and vivid description of a notorious murder. Now, desperately wanting to regain the fame and financial success he had previously achieved, Ellison takes his loyal wife Tracy (Juliet Lilans) and his son Te Levo (played by Michael Hall Daddario) and their imaginative daughter Ashley ( played by Claire Frey) moved together...
