Of course it’s understandable to remake this kind of thing. Everyone thinks that good stories will be filmed over and over again. For example, the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" was remade into "Infernal Affairs" by the great director Martin Scorsese, and it also won an Oscar for best adapted screenplay. This kind of remake is of course successful, and the 1303 remake of the American version of the film is obviously not as good as the original Japanese version, which is incredible. As far as technology is concerned, there have been earth-shaking changes in 6 years, and some of the shooting methods used in this film make people have to doubt that this is a "student assignment"; round investment, if you decide to remake an old film, it is bound to be more in production. Sophisticated, the cost should be more than the original version, and there is a feeling of "limited funds" everywhere in this film, the simplicity of the set and the props, and the scarcity of actors all reveal a sense of poverty; what is even more confusing is that you Already 90% imitated other people's routines, but the suspense, rhythm and horror coefficient only reached half of the original version. Although the script of this film has been slightly modified to make the contradiction between the mother and daughter more "Western", and the language and action are more free than the Japanese version, but I always feel that this relationship is logically rigid, like quarreling over a quarrel. Although there are contradictions between mother and daughter, there are still relationships between mother and daughter. The relationship between mother and daughter is not prominent enough in this aspect, and the tension of the drama afterwards will be greatly reduced. As for the handling of "ghosts", there are also many places that make people jump, such as shadows on the ground, and makeup that is not terrible, which will make the audience naturally think that this is an actor "acting". Generally speaking, this is a film that failed to remake. Although I heard that there is a 3D version of this film, if the essence is not good enough, adding 3D will only increase this bad manifestation.
In addition, let’s talk about the Japanese version of 1303. Although the whole plot is relatively slow and the rhythm is too slow, its story is much stronger than that of the US version, and it is more delicate than the US version in terms of expressing the feelings of the characters, except for the cruelty to the mother. There is more love outside, which is more logically tenable, and several heroines are also more eye-catching. They can still add points to the picture when there are more still shots. However, there are still unreasonable things if you sell carefully. There are heavens and ghosts. Even if the mother and daughter are to prevent their own houses from being occupied, they cannot kill people as they please. Everything has cause and effect. Yes, it would be better to give these dead people a more reasonable causal relationship. When writing a screenwriter, you must follow the law of causation, otherwise you will feel that the story is untenable, and it is scary and scary.
These two films remind me of the ghost film "1408 Phantom Space" that I have seen before, which also describes the room. This film is quite reasonable and perfect in terms of story and shooting techniques. The horror rhythm is also well mastered, for me. I am very impressed. You can compare these videos to watch.
