The film "Coming" has a more rigorous logic. The director has done enough "foreplay" from the beginning. For example, when the film opens, a young woman screams after receiving a strange phone call, the villa is remote and inaccessible, and the fireplace is remotely controlled. It's igniting... After the director explained these foreshadowings clearly, he began to use the film's audio-visual language to allow the audience to maximize the involvement of the protagonist's heart and feel the sudden dilemma with his body.
Simon West, the director of the "Tomb Raider" series that has directed game-breaking styles, is very good at this. Although all the old tricks commonly used in horror films are used, the director still makes excellent use of cross-montage, contrast, etc. The technique creates a sense of horror like a wave overwhelming a wave of water. The film does not have the extremely violent and bloody scenes that are often found in horror movies. The sound, sound effects, lighting, and tones are set appropriately like computer programs. Just as people's hearts have calmed down, they are stirred up by the sudden shock in the house.
Camilla Baylor, a young actress who has emerged in Hollywood, performed quite well in the film. In this personal show, she basically relied on her facial expression to prop up the whole scene, and she didn't even have much dialogue lines. How can you not worry about seeing a woman with such a natural beauty being so scared? And Camilla Baylor never forgets that her role in the play is a female high school student, and she has a good grasp of the character of the young girl and the mentality before and after the collapse.
Although "Calling Horror" is generally only a relatively shallow commercial film of psychological thriller, it can still be regarded as the most exciting horror film on the mainland screen in recent years.
