The army fights ghosts, the fusion of genre films

For those of us who are tired of watching mentally handicapped men and women whose ghosts can't hold a baseball bat, this film is really a surprise.

War movie + horror movie, two unrelated genres are brought together.

The plot twists and turns, most of them are dismissive at the beginning, isn't it an invisibility cloak?

Until the ghost body is exposed and the rifle damage is ineffective, this face slap is expected to attract many viewers to watch.

In the end, there was another turning point, successfully embodying the charm of sci-fi films—beyond human common sense.

But I personally feel that there are some shortcomings:

1. The impact of the picture is not enough to shock the audience, especially compared to the bloody scenes of previous war films;

2. The general horror atmosphere created is not enough to catch people

3, bug1, the unplugged plug, how does the plug control or maintain the existence of the ghost, wireless charging technology?

bug2, how to inject human mind or soul into that pile of artifacts? Wi-Fi technology again?

In general, the narrative and story structure are both commercial narratives of genre films, and some routines don't even work well, but just a little creativity adds a lot to the film!

ps: This film is just the opposite of "Sword Art Online". Sword Art Online is thinking entering the virtual space, this is entering the real world.
