Speaking of which, this is quite an old film. It was released in the United States in February 2005. One of the reasons why he is unforgettable at first sight is because of its poster, the half-closed door, the endless darkness, and the There is the ferocious hand on the door, which is full of unknowns and brings terror; and then there is a few lines of plot introduction, a man who is full of fear of darkness because of his childhood experiences. . .
It has always been believed that horror films are scary because they are full of unknowns and endless variables. They spend every second in fear and fear, and walk on thin ice in fear, but once the protagonist comes on stage, even if it is as weird as Sadako, it is already gone. The inferior grade is like the sword in martial arts. The strongest sword is hidden in the sword shell and not released. So I don't want to write about the plot of "Night Demon" here, but I still want to share some highlights of this film with you.
First of all, the director did a great job of creating the overall atmosphere. When you were young, did you ever have trouble falling asleep for one reason or another? Like after hearing a ghost story? At least I have had such an experience. I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, my eyes widened and I observed everything in the dark, for fear that something would pop up suddenly; Turn on the light, as if the bad things hidden in the dark will fade at the moment when the light is on. Sometimes, I am too scared to hide in the quilt, while holding on to the quilt tightly, I desperately chanting for the blessings of various gods. , I am most afraid that my quilt is inexplicably removed, but fortunately it has never happened = =. At the beginning of the film, such a scene was created. A little boy was terrified in his bedroom, afraid that the monsters and monsters that would suddenly appear in the darkness would attack him, and the lights would turn on and off for a while. In the end, all the fears were focused on the door of the wardrobe. The lights were also turned off. In the dark, something was gradually approaching. The boy who hid in the quilt was afraid that he could not be himself. The most unfortunate thing happened, the quilt was torn off. Oh, scream~~~~ But it's actually his father. . . If you thought it was just the director's mystique, then you are wrong, because in the next 2 minutes, you will soon realize how fragile life is~~~~ Poor kid's father = =~~~~~ Take a moment of silence
Second, I would say that this is the most detailed American horror film I've ever seen. I have always admired Americans for their in-depth portrayal of details. The most perfect embodiment is the
The overall sound is perfect. I have always believed that the reason why horror films are scary is that apart from the visual effects, a large part of the sound comes from the sound. I have not studied psychology, so I can't say anything like the scientific principles of Marxism, Leninism, etc., but I know from experience that an excellent paragraph The sound effect is enough to mobilize goosebumps all over the body, making people feel creepy. I really appreciate the sound effects when the protagonist is observing in the room. If you listen carefully, you will find that it is actually the rhythm of the heartbeat, thump~~~ dong~~~ dong... very slow, the camera is moving back and forth in the room, no one walks past The floor made a creaking sound, sweat~~~ I don't want it anymore, I won't be able to sleep thinking about this at night.
The rhythm of the whole film is very well grasped, and there is a degree of relaxation. Americans are just that strong. They don’t spend a long time explaining useless things like Koreans and Japanese. It can be said that Americans are very efficient. He shows you something that must be more important. There are also those instant flashbacks, which also add a lot of horror to the whole film.
Like I said before, fear is because of the unknown, and once the boss shows up, it is meaningless, so my suggestion is that the first 1 hour and 20 minutes of the whole film is very interesting, and at the end, just never mind.
