The adaptation of Jin’s novel had its first as early as 1990. The first and the second are said to have similar plots, so here I only watched the second one with a relatively high degree of completion. I found a scene of the clown when I watched "The Cabin in the Woods" before, so I was wondering what the horror movie about the clown would be. That shot was a tribute to the latter, so I found the movie immediately. The plot is a relatively mainline plot. There are some bizarre disappearances in a small town, and all the missing children are children. Among them, the brother of a missing boy and a few friends are searching for the truth. Unlike many horror movies, the plot of this movie is relatively simple and clear, and it is easier for the audience to enter the rhythm. Many horror movies are first peaceful life, and then slowly break, but this title from the beginning, there are various The details must bring the audience into the plot. However, it is not the same as the clue-style horror film like "Sinister". The plot of this film does not have any strong reversal. In fact, just looking at the introduction is enough to summarize, neither focusing on the advancement of the clues nor emphasizing. The evil of the villain clown. Instead, I spent a lot of time talking about a small group centered on male protagonists, and even everyone has a nearly complete character set, such as nerds, game houses, stuttering men, and so on. Including the separation of this small group when it was hit, and the reunion due to the disappearance of the heroine, I think this film is more like telling the story of this group of children's adventures. After looking at the processing of the entire film, the color of the film is brighter and warmer overall, even the darkest part is a bit blue and black, so when you watch it, you don’t worry about not seeing it or guessing it. At the point, I feel that the special effects shots of this film are very dreamy, which can make people feel that they are fake at a glance. Especially the scene when I finally came to the clown’s base camp, reminded me of the dreamy feeling in the "art work" of the abnormal camera man in the game "Evil Within 2", and there are several children in the film. In the scene of diving from the edge of the cliff, several boys were afraid to go into the water first. At this time, the heroine said, “I’m first, and then jumped down. The slow motion processing here is really beautiful, and it feels like a fairy tale. Coupled with some warm music (although the sound of the music will suddenly break and then go to the high-energy part), these are things I have not seen in many horror movies. Let’s talk about the clown again. Speaking of the clown reminds me of a small game between the chapters of the game "Until Dawn", it is a dialogue between the protagonist controlled by the player and a psychologist. The doctor gave two pictures and asked Which picture makes you more scared, one is a scarecrow and the other is a clown. In fact, the things in the two pictures are very depressing, because they are very similar to people, but they are not actually people, or more like other things that pretend to be adults with masks, so the clown also has its origin as a symbol of fear. , And the clown in this film is an extremely exaggerated and irregular image of a clown, including various other monster images, which are very distorted, just like a person in a haha mirror, which makes people feel very unreal, plus the bright red and white The contrast is not so much a kind of demonic image, as it is a distorted inner image in the child's heart. So to sum up, the label of this movie should be a fairy tale horror movie. No matter the children’s adventure plot, the combination of colors, and those fantastic pictures, as well as the combination of sound effects, the whole story is established. The movie is different from other horror movies.
