Depressed after watching. . .

Well, the title has an eye-catching purpose, but to be honest, after watching "Orphan" (Orphan) for an hour now, my heart is still beating a few times from time to time, the feeling of depression and depression, I don't know what to do How long have to linger.

I belong to the type of movie fans with a low crying point and a high startle point, and I think I am invulnerable to horror movies, but this time I still fell. Thinking about this feeling, I have seen it in "Dark Invasion" in 2007. With the development of the plot, my heart was surging, and I clenched my fists with every move of the protagonists. The rapid music made me pause for breath, and the rhythm eased a little, but I was afraid of the sudden panic. In short, although the foreshadowing in front of the film is a bit too much, it is a pity, but overall, the feeling of restlessness accounts for half! Especially in the last few minutes of the plot, the climaxes one after another, and the play is like a heartbeat!

It's really hard to survive the slaughter history of demon children. . . Depression such as "The Orphanage" and "Battle Royale" was unavoidable in the past, but this "Orphan", to be precise, brings people that long-lasting sense of unease and discomfort. Looking at a child who is a little weird and behaves a little bit (can not be said to be a teenage girl), doing evil in front of the big screen, killing, a pale face full of ill-will, my whole person is half uncomfortable at first , and the remaining half, who laughed at the screenwriter's little idiot, but most of the time, clenched their fists and feared.

Taking children as the protagonists and appearing in such bridges as horror films is first and foremost an element of attracting audiences. Perhaps while most of us appreciate the angelic faces of children, we have an unhealthy sense of prying in private. Children with angelic faces do heinous things. Such a strong and deadly contrast is so tempting. . . But the premise is that it can't be exceeded, can't be excessive, and can't make people feel resistant. This time, "Orphan", I personally feel that it has successfully created a thrilling atmosphere, but some scenes are too overdone, so I can't bear to watch it.

The 3 little actors really have nothing to say, they are well-chosen and perform well. The demon girl played by the protagonist Isabelle Fuhrman impressed me as much as any Oscar-quality performance I have ever watched. GOOGLE and found that she is only 12 years old! At the age of 12, it is really amazing to play such a demon that makes adult audiences close their eyes! Alas, whether it is her own talent or the director's success in tuning, I don't really care much, what I care about is, performing such a drama? Won't it cast a shadow on her growing up?

In short, "Orphan" has far exceeded my expectations of a third-rate horror film. It is bloody, exciting, and arresting. Likewise, it is not suitable for children! Greatly inappropriate!
