Going back to "Ghost Mirror 2" itself, it can only be said that this is a very uncreative movie, the plot is very smooth, the rhythm is also good, but the flatness is straight to the point of jaw-dropping. There is no suspense in the whole film, and the sudden scary scenes are still used to act as horror, which is clichéd and outdated. It should be said that "no creativity" is the best label used to interpret this movie, because whether it is a simple death method or an old-fashioned female ghost revenge, it should be the patent of a small-cost horror film a few years ago. Now that people see such a packaged film that is not cult at all, they are still using these cliches, which is really dumbfounding. In addition, as the second hapless female purchaser, there are so many naked shots that are unnecessary-but to be honest, this is the only thing that makes people feel refreshed. It's really sad that an originally good subject has been reduced to an AV selling point to attract people.
I think back then, "Ghost Mirror 1" created a trembling lens, that is, the reflection in the mirror no longer "imitates" your actions, but has its own consciousness and independent activities. Presumably this is what everyone did when they were young. The content of the nightmare right. But in the sequel, the same gimmick has long been used to make people accustomed to it. If you don’t innovate, it will make you aesthetically tired. This is also the sadness destined for the sequel. In addition, the most talked-about thing in "Ghost Mirror 1" is actually the handling of the end. The protagonist thought he finally survived after a series of accidents, but found out that the place where he survived turned out to be in the mirror. It is mirror-symmetrical. This kind of plot really makes people tremble. But when it comes to the sequel, the ending is simply inexplicable. The end is that the security guard was killed by the female ghost. This is not inexplicable in itself. What is inexplicable is that such an unexpected thing must be mysterious at the end? Everyone related to the murder of the female ghost was killed, and even the father of the protagonist who was not directly connected was almost killed. It is reasonable and reasonable for an accomplice to be killed by the security guard, but such a reasonable and reasonable plot should be " The ending of "Unexpected" seems unreasonable, so it's reasonable to let the security guard kill the female ghost. It can be said that the end of the first part of "Ghost Mirror" is the finishing touch, and the end of the second part is superfluous.
Mirrors are one of the most popular props in horror movies. Generally speaking, when a person opens a storage cabinet whose door is a mirror, he will see a female ghost standing behind him when he closes the door. When a person washes his face and looks up in the mirror, he will find a female ghost reflected in the mirror. When a person walks hurriedly on the road, there will be a female ghost standing in a place where there is reflection. And so on, people who have watched more than 10 horror movies will readily mention the "magic use" of the mirror. In fact, if people are afraid of mirrors, 80% of them are also affected by these old-fashioned plots. In ancient times, people used bronze mirrors, which had poor reflections, and basically looked like ghosts when reflected in them. Therefore, in ancient ghost talks, there is very little about mirrors. Therefore, even ghosts are advancing with the times.
The theme of the mirror is so mediocre that "Ghost Mirror 2" is so mediocre. It can only be said that the screenwriters did not work hard. In fact, the use of mirrors can make a lot of horrible effects, at least the way to die can be more novel, such as the idea of tearing open your mouth with your hand in the first part and so on. In short, this is a disappointing movie, and I am very sorry for its predecessors. This also proves that if you don't care, even the favorite props of female ghosts can be smashed.
