For any business, after encountering a traffic ceiling in China, it is necessary to consider an international business. Like Netflix, like Amazon, they all have this tone.
From 1999 to 2020, Aunt Jia Coconut has produced no less than 10 versions. But no matter how the remake. Restart, sequel, spin-off. The main creator even asked Jia Yuzhi to fight with Aunt Zhenzi, but never created the second spring of this IP.
Therefore, we should consider the internationalization of Aunt Jia Coconut. So, there was this one, the American version of the new grudge (and the Japanese version of the new grudge, the title has already been used, I don’t know when the new grudge is over, if the series is restarted again, it will be used What's the name? New New Grudge)
The American version of the new grudge actually provides a whole new way of thinking. The related characters of the previous grudges either acted in the spirit of death, or were completely careless, and made their own eyes. However, the main character in this work (that is, the policewoman), in line with the professional ethics of exploring the essence of the matter, got into the arms of a fierce ghost.
But you search for it. After you know that you are in trouble, you have to find a way to solve it. Just like the female protagonist among Sadako, knowing that she is in trouble, she uses all her social relationships to find out the truth of the matter, even at the expense of her father. . . But the heroine in this film, after getting into trouble, she will only shut the door and be afraid of herself, go to the ghost house over and over again in vain, flipping through the boring documents. I feel sorry for myself, hurt myself, and have no motivation to find the secret to crack the curse (I don’t even have the power to estimate)
As the male protagonist who has experienced the ghost house incident, seeing the female protagonist cares so much about the ghost house, he was stunned without warning, assistance, or concern, just watching from a distance, and then watching. It wasn't until the end that I couldn't hide it, that the truth of the matter was revealed. And the whole story, in the performance art of the male and female protagonists, who cares for each other and can only tear a thousand lines of tears, progresses slowly, boringly, and meaninglessly.
To be honest, I think the middle part of the film lacks substantive information. You said that the middle part is suspenseful. Neither the male protagonist nor the female protagonist has carried out the kind of logical and meticulous investigation work. You said the middle part. This is partly horrible, but lacks the amazing rendering and atmosphere rendering of the amazing Jia coconut scenes.
The film is the most horror film, the lack of scary means should be a flaw. I hate to wonder if all American horror films now only use the low-level scary way of turning back and killing to attract attention. This film is full of such low-level, very offensive scary methods, and even some scary methods are irresponsible plagiarism (such as the section where a child runs over and suddenly becomes a ghost, which is obviously plagiarism. Master Wen Ziren's film elements). This kind of scary scenes are flooded with a lot of things, in fact, it damages the golden sign of the grudge, because the grudge itself is not based on this in the field of horror movies.
The most unacceptable thing is, in fact, this movie, which completely destroyed the underlying logic of the IP of Gyako’s grievance. Every grievance film (including this one) explains the occurrence of grievance at the beginning of the film. He is the curse produced by the strong resentment of the person who suffered a tragic death before dying. He will attack all entering this house indiscriminately. People. This house here is actually the house where Jia Yang was killed. People who enter this house will encounter grudges, and the grievances infect the people who enter the house, not the house itself. But in this film, it is not only Kayako possessed and crossed the border, but also the real estate affected by Kayako has opened up new subsidiaries abroad. . .
This nonsense is a bit bullying. . .
