The story conforms to the basic elements required by Hollywood genre films. It tells that Christine, who is in charge of credit work in the bank, refuses a gypsy mother-in-law's request to extend the mortgage repayment due to some necessary and unnecessary reasons, resulting in the mother-in-law's house. confiscated by the bank. So he was cursed, leading to being haunted by evil spirits. In the second half of the film, it is difficult to learn that if you can pass the cursed button to others, you can send it along with the curse. I never thought that when I overcame all the difficulties and gave the envelope with buttons as a gift to the evil mother-in-law who had returned to the West, when I was about to meet her boyfriend's request for marriage, she ushered in a Hollywood-style twist at the end, and she still could not escape being dragged into hell. of doom. . .
It is still the familiar fortune-telling mother-in-law, the cursed poor protagonist, the messy supernatural events, the splashing eyeballs, the large amount of blood plasma, and the twist ending that was supposed to be a blockbuster. The neat formula routine, but it can no longer attract the audience any moviegoing enthusiasm. Even for a very timid me, it was more than nauseating than novel. He tried hard to create a dark viewing environment, and pushed aside the piles of potato chips and other snacks around him, just to be able to devote himself to the thrilling atmosphere the director was trying to convey. However, I can only say that I tried my best, and maybe the director also tried my best, but I still couldn't resist the invasion of yawns one after another. The only contribution is that it makes people sick enough to eat, and maybe helps control appetite.
In terms of story, perhaps because I have seen or heard too many similar storylines, it is not easy to watch the whole film patiently. Perhaps the development of film industrialization is bound to face the huge pressure brought by marketization, which has led to a large number of similar plots and designs, in order to see economic returns in a short period of time. So impressing the audience with this kind of factory-like mass-produced product is a luxury requirement. Just like a Korean drama, it may bring a strange and fresh movie viewing experience, but after watching the 10th similar movie, as long as you close your eyes, you will guess the trajectory of the situation. The strange appearance of that button has already made me have a prediction about the ending that I can't even think about clearly, but something beyond me is that the director went to great lengths to lay out another jeep that looks like a master at the beginning of the film. Saigao, but when she appeared pale and powerless, and then couldn't wait for her braids, did she return to the theme and step into the cliché. Perhaps this is the director's attempt to prove that he has escaped the mode in exchange for ascending to the sky, but unexpectedly it was just an old stalk that was superfluous with a silent cry, which only adds to the laughter.
In terms of filming, apart from the creaking windows and doors, glass teacups, and the shape of a naked goat goat, I can only sigh with emotion, director, do you dare to be more flamboyant? It's so unpretentious these days~ It can't be explained only by seeing the demon attached to the human body, ah, it turns out that this is a horror movie, right? What's more, the state of possession reminds me only of the cute half-human beast in the legend of Namia. The small eyes are old and sincere. Where is the horror? Except for the heroine screaming, panicking, and turning back in a mess, I really can't experience the psychological tension. Compared with the death of the gods, it is several levels worse, can you be a little sincere? The editing is smooth, but some scenes are not appropriate. It's more like a TV movie, ignoring the role of close-up in amplifying the emotional emotions of characters in the movie.
The only thing that interests me is that the innocent protagonist is only acting according to the requirements of the job, and he has tried his best to win the mortgage loan for the evil mother-in-law. How can he be so severely cursed? It's really hard to understand. The most common way to express it is: P is a big mistake, so what? Or is the director mainly trying to express that under the modern American social system and even the global system, repaying the mortgage is not an easy task for anyone, it is just another form of "squatting"? With such an analysis, there is really a chance for sublimation, which is hundreds of times better than entangled in a horror film that is not terrifying in terms of plot, psychology or picture. It turns out that the deep humanistic spirit that the director wants to reflect is here! In the end, a housekeeper, a bank spokesperson, cursed at all costs because of the house problem, "Sample, if I can't live in the house, I will drag you to hell!!!" It has reached such a state of hysteria, and the problems reflected in the house are evident. . For the sake of tearing his face, it is not uncommon for eyeballs to fly out.
There is also a slightly brought up issue of vegetarianism, is it another useful discussion of environmental issues? It turned out that the heroine, who was originally a vegetarian, also bleed her beloved KITTY to a ghost because of her own protection. When the heroine struggled with this issue, a certain counselor's words were meaningful, "I can guarantee that when Amiya (a monster) comes to you, you will be willing to do anything." It will hurt small animals, how not to eat meat, little KITTY still can't escape the bad luck of being (⊙o⊙)... When the heroine was still burying it, there was only a "move fast, don't let people find out" look on her face, and she didn't see any pity. So there is such a subconscious meaning again, ah, it turns out that humans will not care about the life and death of nature and other species when their own interests are at stake. It turns out that the director has been working for the Copenhagen Environment and Climate Conference all the time. I can't help but sigh, it's a profoundly good educational film! ! !
If you want to lose weight, you can watch it, but I really think that the midnight cannibal train is better for losing weight. In other cases, it is not recommended for everyone to waste time...
