Nowadays, it has become an impossible task for horror films to have new ideas. This is a genre that has been badly filmed. Therefore, "Calling the Souls" does not put any effort on new ideas. It can be said that "Calling the Souls" is a very traditional horror. The film, from the setting of the plot characters to the narrative structure, is almost a reproduction of the traditional horror film routines. As the highlight of scary horror films in recent years, "Calling the Soul" can be said to be the result of its own skills. Whether it is the use of a large number of subjective shots or the basement scene as a confined space, it makes people feel like visiting the scene in person, and "Calling the Soul" uses the gloomy overall temperament and negligible humor to unswervingly show the viewer. His fear nerve remained at the highest point, and he did not breathe at all.
In addition, the sound effects in the film are also a big "accomplice" that drags people into the abyss of fear. Wind bells, rocking chairs, door knocks and even clapping hands have become representatives of fear in the latter part of the film. Perhaps in the early stages of the movie, we would mistakenly think that this is a "Smart: Ghost Record" filmed without a pseudo-documentary style, but the ghost image in the eldest daughter's room tells us that this is not a purely psychological production. Horror movie.
The final exorcism ceremony of the movie is considered the climax of the film. After the protagonist chanted a long series of incantations, the exorcism still seemed unsuccessful, and the religious atmosphere of the whole movie became vain at this time. It shows that what ultimately defeats the evil spirits is still the only trace of humanity in the heart, and science and religion have not helped.
