Chaqi, a human version of the ghost baby without a sense of mystery and horror

I don't believe it at all to say that the creator of this film didn't learn from ghosts and children to return to their souls. The same vicious villain, the same weird reincarnation, the same gloomy reincarnation chasing souls and killing. . . You can find too many similarities, the only difference is that this time there is no ghost baby, and the process of finding the skin for the evil soul is naturally omitted. The evil soul is parasitic on the child and directly begins his own revenge plan.

Personally, I think that there is a well-known IP jewel like Ghost Baby Resurrection in front, and this film can actually be shot in this way according to the established pattern, then his biggest feature is that it has no new ideas. A horror film with weirdness as a selling point, but the plot is very easy to guess, which greatly reduces the horror of the film.

In order to show the soul connection between the child and the criminal, the creator also used the color of the eyes and the location of the bloodstain at the birth of the child with ulterior motives (in my opinion, this is an explicit indication). This method of revealing the core plot of the film from the beginning is very clumsy. , He made the plot that could have been easily guessed even more dull.

The film obviously wants to express the greatness of maternal love through a series of methods of the heroine, and for this, the image of the father is sacrificed. But this way of expression is very stupid. He not only sacrificed his father's role, but also sacrificed the normal way of thinking of a normal person in less emergency situations. Without express or suggestion, the hostess actually believed that by killing the victim, the evil spirit in the child could be eliminated. . . This can only be done by a person with a disability. In the end, the evil spirit was not killed, and the name of the survivor was attached.

The setting is borrowed, the plot is stupid, and the ending is clichéd. After tossing around for a while, it is definitely impossible for the main creator to let the bad guys fall in love. So in the end, the mother was killed outside, and the evil spirit swallowed the soul of the child himself, and finally survived the evil. And the way to get rid of the heroine who was armed with a gun at the time was also very lame. Another heavily armed hunter suddenly rushed out. . .

The acting skills of the male protagonist of the little boy are more biased towards evil temperament than people think. When the evil spirit is present, the evil spirit’s evil, weird and terrifying expressions can still be displayed more properly, but if you want to show innocent and deceptive temperament At that time, it was very difficult.
