That's a mess

This is the story of a little girl who killed the whole family.
The male protagonist did not investigate before buying the house, but bought it on a graveyard, haunted by all kinds of ghosts. The youngest daughter is also psychic. When haunted, the little boy was caught by the willow spirit, the eldest daughter was caught by the underground ghost, and the little girl was led to another world. Finally they contacted the little girl on the TV.
The family chose not to call the police and went to find someone engaged in mystery research to save their daughter. However, this group of people was of no use. Later, a guy, like a priest, provided a way to enter another world. Found where the little girl is.
Finally, the little girl's brother walked into the alien world and brought the little girl out.

Of course the story did not end here, when everyone left smoothly. The eldest daughter suddenly set up a flag, and soon the family was caught back into the house by ghosts. Then the ghost exorcist, who had no sense of existence, decided to go in to exorcise ghosts and save the family. However, the family has escaped by themselves.
In the end, the family ran away in the chaos, and the group of exorcists still stayed in this place. The priest-like character walked into another world to seal the haunted house. Then the house completely collapsed, this place was also sealed, and the police and fire brigade were finally alarmed by the huge movement. However, this feat of the pseudo-priest was not photographed, and it was very perfunctory.

The story seems messy, but in general it is still a routine. It can be a decent horror movie without major accidents. But there are many mistakes in the film.
First of all, there are too many non-functional characters in this story. The first is a group of 4 people who exorcise ghosts, useless female assistants, male assistants who complete their mission once frightened, and seemingly powerful female experts who are actually useless. They popularize psychic knowledge and finally seal the devil world without photographing fake priests. This line of four can be reduced.
The two adults, the male lead and the female lead, are also superfluous. There is another unfinished foreplay in the film, and then all kinds of noises, which are really of no practical use. The most important things are done by children.
Then the beautiful sister, in addition to being responsible for bitch, responsible for screaming, responsible for setting up the flag, has no other use.
With so many tasks, you can actually die a few boldly. To tell the truth, it's really outrageous that no one is dead or even injured except for being frightened in such a terrible house.

Second, the combination of high-tech and supernatural horror in this film is poorly done. The hands in the TV, drones traveling through the spiritual world, and various high-tech methods of catching ghosts are very funny. Many scenes are sci-fi, which makes this movie look weird. I didn't get scared when I watched the film, and I laughed a lot of times.

Poltergeist quotes

  • Madison Bowen: We're gonna get in big trouble.

  • Boyd: Let me ask you something. Your dad... he's been out of work a while, right?

    Griffin Bowen: Yeah, I guess.

    Boyd: Hmm. That's okay. Nobody's perfect. I was just thinking about it. You know if he really wanted to make some money quick... a poltergeist abduction isn't a bad idea. Even if it turned out to be a fake. You go public with it, do some TV appearances. You get your own reality show. How cool would that be?

    Griffin Bowen: We don't want a reality show. We just want Maddy back.

    Boyd: You're good, kid. Very good.
