Excerpted from the
background
video of the Baidu Baike movie . Adapted from a real event, the three-story villa in the story is located at 112 Ocean Boulevard in the Amitiville District, Long Island, New York. The protagonist Luce and his wife in the film also have their own people. That year, they bought this million-dollar mansion for only $80,000. The reason is naturally that a heinous murder occurred here a year ago.
What has been controversial is what happened after the Luce family moved into 112. The Luce couple claimed that a series of terrifying evil spirit incidents took place after that. They even specially invited priests to exorcise the devil, but the result was still to no avail, and eventually they hurried away after only 28 days of staying in. However, some people think that the Luce family is completely hyping and exaggerating. In search of the truth, ABC conducted an exclusive report on the matter. But the result is still confusing. The only fact is that the house is still unattended.
Looking back at the murder that occurred in November 1974. The murderer Ronald swears in the later trial that his behavior was
howling ghosts
were instigated by some evil force. However, the jury and prosecutors believed that he was cold-blooded to kill his relatives for the purpose of defrauding high insurance money. In the end, Ronald was sentenced to 150 years in prison on six counts of first-degree murder.
A year later, the horrific experience of the Luce family was exposed. After that, several experts in supernatural sciences
At the invitation of a New York reporter, he went to 112 Ocean Boulevard for an expedition. After a boring night, someone claimed that he felt a "terrible and irresistible feeling of depression" in the house. At the same time, it is said that a strange image of a ghost boy was found in the photos taken by the experts. This makes the Luce couple believe that the reason why the murderer killed all his family members in this house must have been "ghostly obsessed". At the same time, William, the lawyer who defended Ronald, happened to be writing a novel. The latter wanted to write the experience of the Luce couple in his book. But then the cooperation fell through because of the distrust between William and the Luce couple.
In 1976, writer Jay Anson completed a documentary horror novel based on the narration of the Luce family: "The Amityville Horror" (The Amityville Horror). After the work was released, the response was very strong. It was printed 13 times before and after, with a total circulation of more than 6 million copies. In July 1979, the film of the same name adapted from the novel was even more successful. For a while, talk about "haunted houses" flooded the streets.
Later, a reporter once said that he interviewed Ronald, a murderer who was serving his sentence, in a remote prison on the outskirts of New York City. He admitted that the sophistry in court back then was actually a lie, but he wanted to create a mental disorder. An excuse to evade the severe punishment of the law. The so-called "voices drove him to kill" or "there is some evil power in the room" are all lies.
George Luce still firmly stated: "What I tell is the true story I have experienced." In addition, he also claimed that Jay Anson has amassed millions of dollars through novels and movies, and their family Only 300,000 US dollars were obtained from it.
—————————— Dividing Line——————————————
Well, in fact, my original intention is to add a little bit of my personal understanding to this movie.
Okay, this is my first horror movie in the true sense. I have watched it before, either by everyone at school or accompanied by someone.
For me as a newcomer, the movie itself is still good. Personally, because I prefer to watch drama suspense films, this kind of plot is obviously relatively simple, and I tend to feel like I want to scare you a bit.
To be honest, the theme of this film is very good, the haunted house, accumulating resentment, the guests start to be abnormal and the stars who play cards to help out... It is absolutely possible to make a brilliant movie! ! ! ! The plot flow on the surface
may be the limit of time. If it can be done well, like a shining, even if it takes a few more hours, I will definitely be willing to watch it. I hope to see deeper things, such as the root story of this spell , There is only a little hint in the film, which is a groove in the basement. There seems to have done some very serious things before, the imprisoned Indians, and a person like a ripper (it is true that in that place, because there is no subtitles, my English is not good, so I don’t understand much... ··Disrespect) On a mission, a mission to torture the Indians... Then he committed suicide? Become the final soul in the haunted house? Or the tortured Indians? Why did the executor wipe his neck and commit suicide, and still desperately call the protagonist to kill? I didn't understand all these questions, or the film didn't explain it. But it makes me think that this is what attracts me the most (perhaps I don't like the feeling of being simply scared, because there is no aftertaste).
So I think that the film has a lot to dig deeper, not just a popcorn movie just to scare us. This movie has a good embryo, but it didn't make it well, but it was a pity... In contrast, "The Shining" is much better. At that time, the Shining didn't have this feeling, and when I compared it, I felt that he was better... The similarity is that men are slowly eroding their hearts by some kind of power. But Shining, that tastes good. So, this is my disappointment with this movie.
However, for a movie that scares you (really unambitious...), it's still pretty good-looking. Speaking of this, I still think this is a second-line movie with a benign plot...what it looks good and why I recommend it, that is, I have been entangled with the flow of movie skills after watching it.
