Before that, I have visited "The Soul" twice, which is not bad, but for the specific plot, I probably only remember that the heroine was in the pond in front of the house of horror and saw her daughter's figure drifting through the water, so she almost Watched it again.
Different from the previous two times, I don’t know if it was due to the Mid-Autumn Festival. This time I was frightened by the atmosphere of the first half. From the killing of the host’s dog, the gloomy music engulfed the audience in the plot. The director doesn't seem to be eager to scare the audience, but takes it step by step, step by step.
Start with the mottled house. Dark tones can be seen everywhere in the house. The clock collectively stops at 03:07 in the morning. The door creaks and creaks at night. The homeowner’s daughter is pulled in the middle of the night and the homeowner’s wife is trapped. In the basement, those hands that flashed quickly behind his back, well, the increasing level of fright caused the audience's fragile nerves to be constantly pulled. But when everyone could not bear the shock, the director stopped abruptly and turned to the Warrens, experts in supernatural events.
Their arrival (the Warrens, assistants, and local police) temporarily relieved the homeowner's family and made the audience feel that the more people there are, the safer they are. But when there are more people, ghosts always have a way to make them stand alone. When they are alone, it is a moment of horror. Even if you know this rule, you will still be frightened when they should come. (Ha ha......)
The first person to be frightened was the policeman. He was an atheist. When he went to the kitchen to add coffee at night, he was attracted by the movement outside the door, so he opened the door and went out for inspection. The act of opening the door was a hint to lead a ghost into the door. , So as soon as he closed the door, he was scared to death by the ghost of the dead maid. Then before everyone had time to breathe, the homeowner’s daughter started sleepwalking again. This time she was pushed up to the second floor by a ghost. Rowling entered the closet where the homeowner’s daughter was hiding and was taken directly to the basement. The death of Rory was reproduced again. The ghost of Rory's mother and the witch of Bassiba reappeared, allowing Rowling to finally understand the ins and outs of the matter, but in extreme shock. Although she is a psychic, she is also an ordinary person of flesh and blood, and she is also afraid of evil spirits.
It turned out that after the witch died, she kept tempting others to take the bait, seeming to repeat the ritual that the witch wanted to use her child to sacrifice to Satan. This is also the reason why the homeowner’s family has been constantly harassed after the arrival of the family. The children are locked in by the kid, the homeowner’s wife is locked in by the witch, and the maid is just a grudge. The little ghost is just lonely and no one plays, while the grudge just wants to confide in her misfortune, while the witch has a clear goal. She is the wife of the homeowner from beginning to end, and wants to sacrifice her own children through her. Progressive layer by layer, with many clues, without interfering with each other, the director is powerful!
In particular, the Eastern hint, restraint, and lingering atmosphere are put into Western horror films, which reduces the frequency of blood and screams, reduces the frontal close-ups of ghosts, and turns to go deep into the audience’s hearts to dig out the horror factors. But this film Not only to exaggerate the atmosphere of horror and frighten the audience, because as a horror film is just scary, it is difficult to keep people's hearts, and want to be the predecessor of the list, the name is even more idiotic, so this film takes a different approach, focusing on the final human nature On top of truth, goodness and beauty, although it resembles the classic movie "The Exorcist" (1973 version), it is just as brilliant!
