The embarrassing situation of watching horror movies from "The Nun" (non-professional film review)

"The Nun" just achieved the effect I expected. As a loyal fan of the "Conjuring" universe series and a loyal fan of Wen Ziren, I would like to talk about my feelings. In fact, horror movies are now in a very embarrassing situation. How to use jump scare too much in a horror film to have a frightening effect is undoubtedly a failure. As far as I am concerned, I am watching a horror film that uses too much jump scare, and the routine is very clear, so I will only meet in the early stage Achieving a good sense of experience, but in the middle and late stages of the film, you are numb, you can guess where the director is going to scare you, which will make the horror movie boring, "The Nun" undoubtedly made such a mistake , the film has been scaring you again and again with lots of jump scare and explosive bgm, for someone who is watching The Conjuring series for the first time, he may be quite frightened, but for those who have been chasing this series Saying that, it seems unattractive, because this is the mistake that the "Conjuring" series has been making since "Annabelle". However, it is not to say that horror movies do not need jump scare, proper jump scare is very useful, not only can Refreshing, the fright that a horror movie needs is also guaranteed, provided that the extreme cannot be reversed. But of course it doesn't mean that this movie is not good. The connection between "The Nun" and "The Conjuring" can be said to be very good, and the second is the creation of the atmosphere is also good. Second, I have to say that another technique often used in horror films is to use the depth of the film to achieve a terrifying effect. This is the method used in another horror film "Hereditary Doom" this year. For me This way may be even more unflattering, because if you don't have a certain understanding of the background of the movie or the understanding of the religious background and living environment, you will only feel very bored, especially if there is no jump scare movie, soon I felt sleepy, and yes, that's how I felt when I watched "Hereditary," because it's really hard to understand what that movie is trying to achieve. So a successful horror film, I personally think that there are two very important points, one is moderation, the other is imagination. The so-called moderation is whether it is jump scare or the depth of the film, just click on it, and then the imagination, really a person's imagination is extraordinary, no matter how the scene of the film is shot, it is impossible to reach the human brain. The degree of imagination, and this may be the director's best weapon, leaving the audience to imagine that he may be able to come up with more terrifying things, and this kind of deep-rooted horror is unforgettable for a long time.

    prequels after prequels... is connected to The Conjuring 1 and explains why Marilyn Manson will target the Warrens in The Conjuring 2. Watching IMAX, the sound effects are really scary! Bonus points for the soundtrack. But the visual effects are mediocre, a bit like a zombie movie. But after reading it, I still don't understand why Valak dresses up as a nun....
