Sound, Ambience > Visual

Watching it in a private theater, I was scared to pee by the sound effects, and the whole film was shrouded in a weird and depressing atmosphere. The fatal thing about the grudge is that the scene is so lifelike that after watching it, I unconsciously brought myself into the association of the movie, which directly caused me to take a shower and wash my hair that night and didn't dare to close my eyes. Dare to open the door casually, dare not turn off the lights to sleep... However, the ghosts in this film are not particularly scary. I feel that the atmosphere creation and sound effects are greater than the visual effects. It will be a big one honestly, unlike Director Wen's all kinds of jump scares and bullshit. This has also led to some friends around me that the grudge is not particularly scary, on the contrary, lurking, soul-calling and the like can scare them more (but I was really scared to pee), so I will give it four stars~

    Watch and play. Why are Japanese horror movies worse than American ones? American imperial horror films mainly focus on terrifying animals such as giant octopuses, killer bees, man-eating birds, giant man-eating crocodiles, and zombie viruses, with a strong scientism color. The advantage of Japan is that this nation has not gone through the Axial Age, and its culture is closer to the ancient witches, ghosts, ghosts and gods. This is a huge amount of money for Japanese horror films to do well.

    When I watched it back then, I was really sad for the heroine, because she was really kind, and Chao really hoped that she could escape the terrible fate. Regarding the whole story, after watching the TV version, you will have a better understanding of the tragic experiences of Gaya and Junxiong, which is also sympathetic. The movie version follows the TV version's setting and non-linear shooting and editing style, and on the basis of the original, adding In view of the chaos of time and space in the house itself, it also explains why the story is told in this way, because for Gaya and Junxiong, they have been stuck in the pain of being killed, and their time itself is still. , which also leads to people who are in the past and the future will meet each other after coming to this house. I really sympathize with that policeman. Before I asked for GG, I saw my daughter came here too. In addition, because the film is an interlude, the ending of the heroine has already been revealed, which may also make people feel more desperate. However, watching the film now, I will really feel that Jia Ye is a powerful spiritual controller, anyone who sees her will have weak legs, and can't even stand up and run away, which is inexplicably funny.
