After watching this show, I have a lot of questions, but it is necessary to complain before asking questions.
In the first few episodes of this story, especially when Hayden was killed, the maid's body was found, and the episode at the end of Ben Gai Xiaopai, the music sounded, but there was a touch of sadness and a kind of unfair desolation, so that You feel a touch of emotion, which makes you feel good about the show and want to go deeper into it.
However, by the time Season 1's 12 episodes are over, you'll actually know that this movie is pretty bad.
In fact, the stories told in the 12 episodes are condensed and there is nothing left at all. There are only those "rubbish powder" in the memory fragments. Compared with the "fantastic five-minute" short story in the front of each episode, the encounter of the male pig's foot family is completely bland, and it is not even as impressive as those small stories and the encounters of the supporting characters. Perhaps, digging into the details of the dead in the past seems more dramatic and exciting than the demise of the Ben family.
Yes, these 12 episodes are just to tell you: "Look, another wave of people died in the house". If the director conducts a poll, I would rather like to know the whole experience and character of the first owner of the house, especially the hostess who seems to love her son like her life but hopes to make money for abortion all day long. I feel very nervous. There is a sense of suspense; and why the house has such "magic", the origin of the construction of the house, etc. The same hostess, compared with the current hostess's face paralysis who frowns all day, I prefer to see the delicate performances of the former and the maid (young version).
Finally, if you were looking forward to the "final turnaround and reconciliation" that all horror films do before the end, you will be disappointed. The whole movie feels like "leak before the climax", and the last three episodes begin to leak like crazy, even unnecessarily, and many explanations seem bland. In addition to the reversal after revealing that "the male protagonist's daughter has already passed away", the film feels a little bit of thinking about what to say. It lacks the foreshadowing and suspense that a horror film should have, and all the characters are expected to end. The relief and sadness in the middle part also came too early, so that the emotions were lost without cohesion.
What makes people depressing is the tragic episode 12. The appearance of the Spanish couple is simply superfluous. Generation after generation of dead ghosts let this house sell, but episode 12 suddenly wants to tell us that Ben and his wife are the most benevolent of all the ghosts, and they will always prevent the house from being sold. Isn't this a kind of pairing of the first 11 episodes? Insult? If the film does not want to express a mysterious sense of fate, then the ghost capital TMD who died in this house in the past few decades is a heinous bastard? This time, some kind of "last resort" of the ghosts in the room turned directly into just "unwillingness". The resentment and depth that this house carries suddenly rises so lightly, what a boring story.
Well, the secret of this house is that there are no secrets, it is nothing more than a story of infinite filling in the hole. I really don't understand where the screenwriter's inspiration and creativity have gone, and abruptly failed such a good beginning and a good idea.
As a non-heavy horror film, no connotation is fatal.
The last question is:
1. What is the purpose of Larry's debut?
As a character who has spent a lot of space and plump up - what is the purpose of the appearance of "half face" (Larry)? If the motive is the house, why do you need 1,000 yuan? What does he have to do with this motive after he helped ben kill Hayden? If you want to accompany Constance for eternity, wouldn't it be over if you commit suicide in the house? He loved her so deeply, but just because Constance said something "unpleasant" and hated her to the core to report her, but after seeing the ghost of his wife, she was relieved, and she took the initiative to resist all the sins in a blink of an eye. If it is a kind of repentance from his wife, why is he expecting to hear Constance say he loves him in the end, why is this mental state different from before? What kind of nonsense is this NM? It took so much time to keep Larry alive, ran out, and went to jail with nothing to do with ben. And his so-called secrets have no value for Ben to have any "pictures and JB", until Larry is in prison, Larry is a completely untrustworthy "running trick" to Ben. I thought Larry was one of the key characters in the plot, but he turned out to be an emotional lunatic and was very puzzled by this character's intentions. Don't tell me his secret in season 2~OMG~~
2. The ghosts are clean and there are bloody?
Why are there so many ghosts, no matter how they died, when they appeared, some were bloody, and some had thin skin and tender meat? Is it different in themselves or in the people who see it? Or can the ghosts transform into whichever side they want? But how do those who don't know they're dead choose how they appear? Could it be that the default is clean?
3. How can no ghost kill Constance?
As long as it is in that house, ghost murder seems to be very easy. Constance went to that house every day, but none of the victims could kill Constance? Besides, Constance is a woman who can do bad things at all (an emotional liar, the culprit of many murders, and even wants to do cakes to kill Xiao V) and even the maid hates Kang so much, but she just wants to use the "swimming pool scheme". "To get the police to arrest Kang, but he couldn't kill her? Still afraid of him? ! Could it be that there is some kind of power background behind Kang? Is it season 2 again? please!
4. What is the role of Constance?
Constance is one of the rambunctious, mysterious-looking protagonists. But in the whole play, in addition to being both good and evil, and confusing the audience, Constance's role in the series is really confusing. She is as pretentious as the first mistress of the house, and I don't see any difference in the necessity for the two to exist in the show, but Kang is a must in every episode. And it's very strange, a bit like the first heroine, she doesn't really like children at heart, but sometimes she is quite nervous about children, but once the child disobeys her, she becomes irritable and hideous. Demented, normal, handsome, ugly, there are not many that she really likes, or Tate will not meet anyone and say, "If only you were my mother (father)!" (Tate said to Ben and the first female house owner have said it) But she also values the child born by Ben's wife, or the devil child?
5. As long as ghosts don't kill people, does a haunted house mean death?
Kang and Larry used to be the owners of the haunted house, why didn't they both die? And the show said that the owner of all houses will eventually die in this house.
6. What is the purpose of the Demented Girl and the Witch?
The dementia woman was hit by a car before she had anything to do with the show other than scaring the audience. Then why not die with those 2 little boys in the first episode, or just like his ugly brother, the process of dying can also be used as a little story to pave the way for how much Larry loved Constance, and used to plump up Larry. figure. But the director insisted that the demented woman reappear as a "grown-up" a few years later, but she died without bringing out any new clues. And, as one of the few people who died outside the house, the writers seem to have no desire for her to appear again. In this case, so many scenes in the front are purely used to expand the lineup of characters? Even the existence of real estate women who sell houses is meaningful, so what are the dementia women using to pave the way? do not know. Also, I didn't see what the witch could do. All the ghosts that have appeared on the scene are basically known to Kang, and Kang knows more about this house than anyone else. Why do you want this witch to help him? Don't understand again.
7. Why is Tate obsessed with killing, whether alive or dead? Also, is the behavior too random?
As I said earlier, if it was because he didn't like Larry and his brother being killed and went crazy, why did he kill so many people for no reason? Suicide soon over? After death, he is still obsessed with killing. Is it possible that he is still a mental patient? The most incredible thing is that the first heroine raped Ben's wife in a word, in order to repay the so-called "mother who I identify with". So Ben helped him too, and he also said that he wanted to have a father like Ben, but why didn't he help Ben from start to finish?
I don't know if the director agrees or not. It's not just a horror theme that can make a good-looking and evocative horror film. Romance horror films focus on infecting and digging the audience's sense of awe for the unknown through language and plot tension. In order to be "truthful and credible", they must stand up to scrutiny and can finally justify themselves. The film does not have this qualification.
