      Movies with real ghosts (spoilers, not watched carefully)

      I saw that the evaluation was very high, but I have not dared to watch it. Yesterday, I finally gathered the courage to finish it. It was much better than imagined.
          At the beginning of the film, it seems that there are ghosts in a dimly lit villa. First, the mother was dragged away by some kind of force and the blood was sprayed on the wall or curtain; then the older sister took her younger brother and fled to the bedroom and put the younger brother in the small cabinet. Towed away and...

      Seems like ghosts and gods are coming

      A family of four moved into an old house on the outskirts, but the house was far less comfortable and peaceful than imagined. Mysteries continue to appear, scratches on the floor, water seepage in the room, and crunching and crunching footsteps from the ceiling. A pair of sons and daughters began to realize that this seemingly deserted house for a long time seems to be living with other people...

          "The Messengers", the first Hollywood movie of the Pang brothers, still continues the...

      Retribution similar to Chinese movies

      The hostess believes that everyone is familiar with it. Although I didn't pay attention to it, I still watched it.
      The story is about a family with a loan planting sunflowers in their new house and farmland, and there are so many crows, so they hired a stranger, John, as a helper. During this period, the daughter kept claiming to hell, and the younger son always saw strange things.
      Since it is a haunted house type movie, it has some established patterns. First, cheap is not good. Who...

      The Pang Brothers-The Messengers

      I heard that part of the film was remade and repaired by a ghost director, but at the beginning, the name of the Pang brothers was still hung, and it was impossible to
      see which parts were filmed by them, and those parts were filmed by others,
      but it doesn’t matter
      anyway. The same lackluster, I personally think that it is not as good as ghost mythical creatures.
      All the plots have been abused by horror films in several Asian countries.
      People at least left some of the...

      Misuse of Hitchcock

      There is indeed a big difference in style between Asian and European and American horror films. The Pang brothers have been exaggerating the atmosphere of horror from the beginning. The black-and-white fragments and the tragic death of a family make the film feel eerie and horrible from the beginning.
          The family moved from Chicago to the countryside. I don’t know if it is to exaggerate the embarrassment or the cost is limited. This haunted house seems to be too haunted and lifeless. I...

    Evaluation action

    "The Messengers" is the first Hollywood work of oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang brothers. The film's box office performance at least made Hollywood filmmakers a small check in their hearts. The oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang brothers gave up the low-end way of shocking loud speakers in works such as "Silent Fire" and "Danny Pang", and won with a "cold and quiet" atmosphere. They finally attracted the heart of Hollywood, so there is "The...

    Movie quotes

    • Burwell: You've been a bad girl, haven't you Lindsay?

    • Jess: Dad, I'm really scared. Can't we just go home?

      Roy: Jessica, this is home. You need to get used to that.

    • Colby Price: Roy Solomon?

      [Roy turns around and sees a pale-looking man in a black suit and tie standing behind him]

      Colby Price: I'm Colby Price... Belton Savings.

      Roy: Oh, hey. Good to meet you.

      Colby Price: So you said your father grew sunflowers, too.

      Roy: Yeah, over in Turek County.

      Colby Price: I grew up not too far from here.

      Roy: Right...

      Colby Price: Look, I know you're all moved in, but an opportunity came up at the bank that I thought you might be interested in. This place sat gathering dust for years until you came along and bought it, and now, as it happens, another party's expressed interest in the farm. The good news is, they're willing to pay what you paid and put another 15% on top of that.

      Roy: [slightly annoyed] We just got here. And frankly, my family's looking for a little stability right now.

      Colby Price: Well, this will give you the details... give me a call if you want to discuss it.
