First of all, the ghost record series of pseudo-documentary nature, because of its documentary nature, although it is pseudo, but because the audience does not look like it was taken by a person, it is a real image recorded by a camera. Because of the reality, the ghost series received very good box office results.
Then look at the recent #妈妈# produced by Del Toro. It is a good film in the past two years. From the perspective of a child, although it is scary, it is also regarded as a warmth in horror. Its story about the evil spirit itself. After deep digging, not only the evil spirits' evil deeds, but also many echoes before and after. Introduce people.
There is also a #林中小屋#, which looks like a total tribute movie. He is also a half-horror movie and a half-sci-fi movie. Under the appearance of the horror film, a layer of science fiction film was added. The theme is: You must sacrifice to satisfy the ancient gods underground (the director obviously wants to lean on the Cthulhu series). But the way of paying tribute is to pay tribute to the evil spirits, ghosts, and weird beasts in the movies we have experienced one by one. One of the classics is the nail head man in #养鬼吃人# to play Rubik's Cube. . (Raising ghosts and eating people has been photographed 9).
Let’s not gossip, let’s talk about movies. Other film reviews say too much about the foreword and afterword of the movie. The most important point is that it is adapted from real events.
First of all, the movie is like all the horrors of haunted houses, the Harmony family moved to an old house. All kinds of signs are gradually and deeply reflecting the process of evil spirits invading.
First, when the family rushed into the house excitedly, only the dog died and did not enter the house. This is --- the first sign. Then the next day, the dog was killed.
The little daughter found a music box under the old tree by the lake in front of the house---a typical sustenance item appeared. Pay attention to this place. After the little girl ran away, the camera looked at her far away from the angle beside the old tree.
Immediately after the girls played a game, they accidentally opened a basement blockade, and then the plot was old-fashioned, one step down the stairs, a pile of old things covered with spider silk, and one or two. Objects that seem to have a little meaning. During the deepening of the lens, the principle that the light bulb must be broken the first time you go in is followed, and at the same time, you use matches to explore the panorama of the entire basement step by step. Except for the light of the match, everything else is dark, maybe something suddenly appeared. Scared to death, tension naturally arises.
Then the first day passed. .
Wake up the next morning, the first thing, all the clocks stay at 3:07-only abnormal super energy can cause this! ! ! Then the little daughter found that the dog was dead.
Then the next night, my daughter sleepwalked. The older daughter thought it was normal for the third daughter to sleepwalk, but we can see that the end of the sleepwalking of the third daughter is the closet in the room. This place was explained in detail later, but here is just a foreshadowing.
Then my mother found bruises on her body, very severe bruises, but she didn't care when she first appeared.
Then a large number of flying birds bombarded the house, crashing to death---this is a supernatural phenomenon that cannot be explained, but it can increase the horror of the story.
Okay, then the little girl didn't go to school and said that she had an invisible friend---a Rory. The routine of invisible friends. . . It's too common. . . Not much to say.
Then, the story of hide and seek, my mother found the wardrobe, once again highlighting the story behind the wardrobe. . . It will cause big things.
The second daughter and the third daughter encountered a super-spiritual incident while sleeping. There were ghosts under the bed and ghosts behind, and the door was suddenly closed. . The atmosphere of horror deepened further.
Then my mother found that all the photos had been knocked on the ground and strayed into the basement. She was suddenly shocked-when the hand was suddenly stretched out and snapped twice, she was really shocked. ---Mom was frightened again and again for a reason.
Okay, then the second daughter found an evil spirit lying on the closet.
Everyone was frightened collectively-----------The time has finally come to solve the problem.
At this time, the exorcist couple dedicated their lives and entered the story of the family.
Regarding the exorcism couple, when a family member is constantly being harassed, a few clips are interspersed, why do they intersperse, why not give a unified introduction at this time? I think the deep meaning of the director is to explain in the continuous interspersed:
1 The so-called strange power and chaos exist. You can see that the couple has gone to the university to give lectures. These are all scientifically based.
2 With these evidences, in the interspersed process, it is a process of continuous verification of the family's encounters with supernatural phenomena. Rather than those so-called hoaxes, there are real problems.
3 Throughout the plot, the continuous explanation of the exorcist couple is to heighten and deepen the sense of horror.
Now that the exorcism team has joined, the following story is simple:
first demonstrate the existence of evil spirits, secondly use phenomena to illustrate the power of evil spirits, and finally fight against evil spirits.
The first is the exorcist wife, which has its own characteristics of psychic ability, so a number of different evil spirits were found circling inside and outside the whole house very early. Then in the 56 minutes of the movie, the Exorcist Wife’s investigation revealed that in the whole story, there is a witch, a Walker’s woman and her son, a maid’s daughter, and a drowned one. . The focus is on the witch and Rory.
We are wondering why the director uncovered the source of evil spirits that harass the family in the middle of the movie. . . In fact, the purpose of the movie is not just to tell a story of being invaded, but a story of defeating evil spirits, so it is our understanding of evil spirits that we will strive to eliminate it later. Otherwise, you don’t even know how to eliminate them.
The process is simple, but the content is equally classic.
A camera that can be triggered automatically by a thermostat. The old stalk of horror movies is that as long as there is a supernatural phenomenon, the temperature of the surrounding environment will undergo a sudden change, usually the temperature drops rapidly. We can understand it as the evil spirits of these evil spirits. too heavy. Sometimes the temperature rises---at the scene of being burned to death by the fire, the protagonist of the movie has a burning feeling. --This type is very rare.
Then use ultraviolet light to detect walking trajectory. This function is also very common, but it is generally used for normal people without evil spirits.
The cross is a detector used to detect whether there are supernatural existences around. The evil spirit in this movie is a witch who is still in the shadows. Therefore, the witch is a sacrifice to Satan and a servant of Satan. Therefore, using the cross of God and Christ is contradictory. effect.
There are also a bunch of things that are fighting the evil spirits. For example, the daughter is dragged around and the mother is possessed at night, and the body smells like a carrion, and then possesses to kill. All kinds of typical plots are shown one by one.
The last part of the process of exorcism was first born out of #突魔人#, modern horror movies have used bad tactics, but they are still unsatisfactory.
I found too much written. To sum up, this is a better-looking horror movie, suitable for veteran horror lovers.
Poor directors will also swing these horror elements, but they rarely can create a real sense of horror.
On the one hand, the real director will prove the existence of these horror elements in various ways (such as scientific proof, or the church's intervention), and can also arrange these horror elements in the entire story.
The reason why we are afraid is because of the unknown, just like when we walk in the dark, no one knows where something will emerge.
It is this kind of unknown, and the position in the house, which is closely related to us, will cause our fear even more, and this type of movie will even more trigger our identification and fear.
