Not scary American Horror Story

1. Finally finished watching this series. Overall, it doesn't feel good.

2. First of all, the main stock market of the show is a little boring, that is, a not so harmonious family is constantly disturbed by a group of ghosts who died in the house in different years, and finally all died in the house and turned into ghosts, but found a happy family. story. It's not really fresh.

3. The plot of the whole drama is relatively stable, there is no certain plot changes, and there is no major inflection point, which makes the overall look relatively boring.

4. The rationality of the plot is still up for debate, some details are not explained enough, the character's thought changes, behaviors, and reactions to special events are not within my expectations. In short, it's a bit self-talking, people in real society are not like a family of three in the show.

5. Some creative ideas are not bad. For example, the maid looks different in the eyes of the male and female protagonists (this is actually very interesting, but unfortunately it is not used properly); another example is the ghost of the person who died in the house and cannot leave the house except for Halloween... Unfortunately, this kind of There are still few good ideas.

6. For Asian audiences, the horror of this film is extremely low, or even not scary. The horror scenes in the show may be more effective for Westerners.

7. Except for the elderly female neighbor, most of the other actors played mediocrely, but they were lackluster and had nothing to say.

8. I think that with such a long story about a haunted house, the final film should be much better than it is now. Therefore, viewing is not recommended.


ps: I almost forgot, that maid is really... Except for the word "sao", other Chinese characters can't describe her (this is the first time to use this word to define a character, and there is no derogatory meaning)
