      Director living in his own world

      First of all, when I watched this movie, I think the director has always lived in his own world. Why do you say that? From the beginning to the robbers, the origin of the whole devil was not clear, and what kind of form the devil existed in the end. From the very beginning of the movie, we can see that the devil came out of the body of a deer at the very beginning. How did the devil get into the body of...

      There are a few points to note

      The first is about how the Mother of Darkness enters the human body. In fact, it has been given in the film. The introduction of the Mother of Darkness that was searched on the Internet after the male protagonist saw the strange symbol at the door of the neighbor's house is the same as wearing clothes.

      There are no big bugs in logic, and the story told in the first-person memory of "I"

      Before watching the film, I only watched the feature film after watching a trailer. It turns out that the less you know before watching the film, the easier it is to have surprises.

      The opening shots of the film were a bit unclear at first, but then I found a big detail foreshadowing. The random toys scattered around the house indicate that there must be a big problem in the home. The director is interested.

      The male protagonist’s...

      As a social creature, the deepest fear of human beings is not from the outside world, but from themselves!

      The forest evil spirits do not feel like evil spirits. They seem to be more like flesh-eating spirits that have been parasitic in the tree hole. The frontal combat ability is not very strong. With the ability to manipulate people's memory, the ending is reversed. The atmosphere of the whole scene is also there, but maybe I don't think it is strong enough. Perhaps what the director wants to express is not the evil spirit itself. More horror comes from memory modification. Forgetting is the...

      A passing film, a good routine

      It is a plain jump scare. It tells you directly that there are monsters here. It is also a traditional horror film routine. The people around you die one by one. The hero is lonely and misunderstood by his relatives. In the end, the mystery is solved and the relatives are rescued. The ending Leave a suspense.

      However, from start to finish, it did a pretty good job. At least it has a much better look and feel than "The Lost Family" (the soul is afraid of failure, there is no ups and...

      The reversal of Forgotten Brother is more colorful, the whole structure and rhythm are too unbalanced, the climax is almost a firework, it is fleeting? The atmosphere and rhythm of the front is not like a horror film at...

      Western horror films full of oriental colors, a hodgepodge of ghosts, zombies, and demons. It is not easy to express the abstract concept of "posessed" so intuitively. Death is to be forgotten, and people are already indifferent before being taken up by ghosts. Perhaps the so-called demons here represent a higher-dimensional creature, and we humans are pieces of clothing. However, the clothes have a shelf life, and they wear out (gradually decay like a zombie), and they are disposable. The...

      Produced by IFC Midnight, it was a rare low-budget horror film that won the box office with hundreds of thousands of dollars for several weeks during the epidemic. There were few scaring scenes, and there was basically no jump scare on the computer, but it was still quite orthodox in terms of narrative, barely 6...
