The sad thing is not the room but the people

I remember that when the first film was released in China, I still went to the evening show with my friends, with the choice of only one horror film. Because I was really not interested in "Harry Potter", I didn't pay much attention to it. I only remembered that there was a reversal in the final ending. My friend was afraid that he did not see the last "ghost show" scene, and discussed the ending when he was out of the theater. For a long time, in a blink of an eye, this movie actually has a sequel.

I have said many times before. Whenever I come across a horror movie, it means watching "External and Internal Strength" is pure and impure. After the first film defrauded 120 million U.S. dollars by the aura of "Harry Potter," it was obvious that the creators could not sit on the table. Lived, and started to move around again, for a second time-a bigger scam. Because the whole movie is not horrified, not horrible, no atmosphere, no effect, and even the most common skills are not good enough, so what can you say, there is only constant laughter.

Shooting horror movies is very difficult now, because all kinds of stalks are played up and down. Under the premise that there are no new stalks, only the old stalks can be discovered, recreated and refreshed, and squeezed out the surplus value. Some old stalks are still It is worth shooting again and again, such as this Gothic ancient house evil spirit, but the shooting must reflect the sincerity of the creator and cannot be perfunctory.

The film is commendable in terms of setting and props. What makes people disgusting is the setting of the story. It is more straightforward, that is, the shelf is set up for you, but there is a rookie who knows nothing, no matter how good it is. Even if the device is given to a novice, it can't play its brilliance. For example, the exploration in the ancient house and the thick fog outside the ancient house, following the protagonist’s perspective to explore the corners of the room and running and fleeing in the thick fog outside are the most interesting places in horror movies. To test the director’s skills, it’s a pity that the helm of the film did not do this. Many silent scenes waste a very stylish environment. As for the personality, it is even more terrible. There is no logical character motivation and pale. The emotional performance of, I am really lazy to mention, it seems that only the phrase "sorrow is not the room, but the person" can slightly improve the compelling quality of the film.

The woman in black should have come to an end. After all, the second film only had more than 20 million U.S. dollars in box office revenue, which is enough to prove the attitude of movie fans.
