I have already heard of Wen Ziren's old movie "Dead Silence". I have seen director Wen's "Hidden" series and "Conjuring" series before. The combination of Chinese and Western horror techniques is extremely brilliant, Chinese style, more precisely, Hong Kong style ghosts. Horror movies generally pay attention to one thing and one thing. If there is a ghost, there must be a ghost exorcist. Therefore, the Hong Kong-style ghost movie was born Wu Ma, Lin Zhengying and other ghost exorcists. This kind of ghost story narrative, on the one hand, satisfies people's aesthetics of evil, and on the other hand, reduces the horror of ghost films. And Western-style, including Japan and South Korea, their typical ghost movies generally only have ghosts, and there is no corresponding surrender power. Humans appear extremely insignificant and powerless in the face of unknown forces. The style of Wen Ziren's ghost films lies in the fusion of the two, bringing the exorcist into Western ghost films. However, the exorcist in Director Wen's works is not like Wu Ma in the Hong Kong-style ghost film. In Wen's works, the exorcist is still so powerless, the power of justice is very small, and the confrontation between the exorcist and the ghost is also mixed. Uncle Ying fought the evil ghost for hundreds of rounds, the evil ghost was defeated, and then the ending was just and bright, the road was one foot high and the devil was ten feet high... Fortunately, Wen's film introduced some elements of Hong Kong-style ghost films, but still let the You can't guess the ending, but "Dead Silence" is actually more Western, without the character of the exorcist, more similar to the style of the chainsaw, full of suffocation, and the protagonist is helpless and powerless. In fact, as a puppet, the movie is not very simple to express. Until the end of the movie, the undead with resentment is still the culprit of evil, and the puppet itself is just a substitute for another, and the puppet directly The breath of action and death is not intuitively expressed, which is probably the common feeling of many people who are obsessed with the perfectionism of horror movies. When we see the ghost appearing from the back of the puppet, we will vaguely feel some disappointment with this arrangement. The puppet should be the ghost itself, not the same as its previous state. props at the mercy of the master. But everyone has an understanding of the plot. As far as the plot itself is concerned, the movie has been excellent enough, and the rest of the discussion is only based on personal appreciation.
