The protracted plot that has nothing to do with the main line of the plot, the environment rendering like a ghost movie, the demonization of the hostess of the house, and the secret room scene commonly used in popcorn movies made me startled and sleepy at first glance. The whole story is in the old man When I said help me, I guessed a lot, and I just waited to see the cast list. At the end, it was a little surprising, and there
were a few doubts about the film.
1. The evasive description of the house by the old woman in the play aroused Caroline's suspicion, but then she talked about the secrets of the house without hesitation. What is even more incredible is that she was given a hand that can open all the stuffy attics including the attic. key. Let me ask, what is the purpose? ?
2. The old woman has led Caroline to go to the attic many times, first to pick up the sundries, and later to use witchcraft to cause Ben's stroke to let Caroline study witchcraft.
3. If you are just greedy for the old man's money, then the old woman has a hundred ways to do it in the deep mountains and forests, no doubt about it. Why ask a stranger to witness, and create the mystery of the attic is even more superfluous.
4. Things tore the face. When the net was finally closed, both of them had ample opportunities to kill him, but they both drove her to a dead end. Why is it easier for people to panic in desperation, witchcraft seems to teach her to fight against her? The best choice for both.
5. A small detail, the picture of the owner of the house is usually placed on the fireplace in the living room, but the photo frame is not a product of this era at all, and the photos of generations of owners have been preserved, such an important hole will not be dug casually.
Thinking about it carefully, the scary thing is that the old woman and the lawyer are telling the truth. As Caroline who grew up in the north, it is not easy to believe in witchcraft, but she can't find anyone willing to stay in this spooky manor and stupid. Nosy. When it comes to witchcraft, the old woman said don't jump to conclusions about things you don't understand (Caroline's suicide at the end corresponds exactly to this sentence). Believe it or not. Until 15 minutes before the end, I believe everyone still thinks that this film is about a fucking plot like don't make money and kill your life, justice will win, and regret watching this bad film. Inexplicably, the lawyer said that he had never tried the taste of death, which seemed like a threat and a joke. In fact, he hinted it again here, but he probably didn't bother to think about it after seeing it here.
In the end, the transformation of the soul was indeed unexpected, but,,,, director, you should know something before you turn. I have already regarded this as a bloody garbage drama in my heart. I almost didn't realize that this is actually a magic stick movie. Excusable, the director took advantage of the unpopular theme and saved the monotony of the protracted plot of the whole film by the ending. The one-sidedly favorable film review probably only focuses on the thrill of the U-turn after watching the film, forgetting the dog blood and boringness of
a good film during the filming process, and what is more important than the idea is to strive for a full-time enjoyment of the filming experience. Otherwise, no matter how cleverly conceived it is, no matter how literary and artistic the audience is, the audience will not accept it all. In short, this movie can be regarded as a bright spot in a suspense movie, but it is by no means an excellent drama film.
