Religious films under the shell of horror films

Barely 8 points.

For 2 and a half hours, it has been less than 1080P, and I am very tired after watching it.

Director Luo's audio-visual language does not need to be said, and the various suspense and thriller atmospheres created by this are also very good. The little girl's acting skills exploded, and all the actors' acting skills were online. I was fortunate to see the scene of Huang Zhengmin dancing to the gods, which was very magical. If the requirements are not high, in fact, it can be seen as a horror film.

Koreans have a deep-rooted hatred of Japanese people. No matter how calm the Japanese appear, it is hard to believe that he is innocent. The essence of the movie is still the story of "Haunted House". There are frequent murders in remote mountain villages, and all modern means of representing technology, order and public power, such as police and hospitals, basically fail. Therefore, the most disgusting thing about this kind of movie is that the protagonist keeps losing his intelligence-for example, the male protagonist chooses to drive away after seeing all kinds of direct evidence at a Japanese house for the first time. . . In addition, the art aspect continues the director's previous works - plasma seems to be free of money, from makeup to the set, it is more bloody, dirty and chaotic than the urban set, mud, plasma, leftovers and spicy chicken fill the screen.

Director Luo tries to go further and further with the anti-genre film wrapped in the genre shell, but breaking the rules is bound to take risks. The logic bugs that existed in "The Chaser" continue to be amplified in this film, making people play. And all kinds of metaphors about religion seem too obscure. The presentation of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is a little far-fetched, and more allusions in the Bible are difficult to get by ordinary Chinese audiences.

The behind-the-scenes production is extremely difficult. With Director Luo's talent, making this kind of film is really half the effort. Why bother?

    Six years of sharpening a sword, Roche's style is still lingering, and the level is close to the memory of murder. Mysterious events have triggered the re-coding of black swirl Korean-style black crime films, but it is not a realistic thriller crime film like the imagined chaser Huang Hai, but a strange and chaotic horror movie. Ghosts, demons, monsters, zombies; shamans, wizards, Taoists; legends, possession, exorcism; blood plasma, violence, car shocks, reverse and reverse! It's like putting a bunch of hooks and seeing which one you bite!

    I don't like movies that can't justify themselves
