The brilliance of the first part is the labyrinthine claustrophobic hospital, the ubiquitous strange noises in the dark, the sudden appearance of the sick ghost, especially the ghost body with its big mouth is impressive, and the movie is filled with despair. Ambience.
The second part takes a lot of time to prove that the first part is a "real event". The leading actor, who is a horror film director, did the work of "Approaching Pseudoscience" and took us to visit the first missing host. Demented mother and producer, and from the producer confirms the truth about the 10-year disappearance of the team members of "Graveyard Encounter".
At the same time, the male protagonist was invited by the mysterious person who sent the first video "Death Comes", so he simply pulled a group of friends and went back to the old road of "Cemetery Encounter" to the death hospital with no exit.
Just over half an hour was wasted on the above plots. If the audience is not very interested in imitation documentaries, they will definitely yawn and scold the fool. Are there any ghosts?
After a group of people arrived at the hospital, the plot continued the routine of the first film, simulating the same camera position in the first film, and liked to shout loudly before the ghost appeared, with Wang Baoqiang in "A World Without Thieves" Same: what about thieves? What about thieves? Where's the ghost? Where's the ghost?
Well, if you want to see a ghost so much, the ghost will come out. First of all, the place where the incident happened is the same as the first one, the room with the window on the top floor opened by itself, and the photographer was also the first to suffer. . . . . .
When watching the first part, my friends and I were analyzing all the way, why didn't I call for help? Oh, the phone has no signal. Why don't you smash the window out? Oh, and the windows are blocked with iron mesh bricks. In the second part, they finally smashed open a window, but the big guy in the poster appeared, and completely broke the plan to escape through the window.
Later, this passerby also met the hero of the first film. This guy has lived in the dark for 10 years, much better than the little girl in "Alien 2". But deeply doubt that he can live 10 years by eating mice? And it doesn't look like the muscles are malnourished.
The director started from here, and the plot was not shot in the direction of the claustrophobic space, but in the direction of escape from the secret room. And tell the audience that the general method is to escape this hospital. Even if you escape back to the hotel, once the elevator door is opened, you can still come back, and every door of the hospital changes all the time like "Cube".
The way to escape from this hospital is to complete the film "Encounter in the Graveyard"; there is only one person left; go out through the big red gate.
In order to help the characters complete these tasks, the ghosts even voluntarily acted as air photographers, shooting 360 degrees without dead ends. They were playing "Super Abnormal".
I think it's a lot of nonsense. The atmosphere of the haunted hospital in the first movie has become a living room escape in the second movie, and it has weakened the horror of the ghosts of doctors and patients. It could have been in the The perverted doctor who kills patients makes a big fuss, adding a sense of strangeness similar to "Silent Hill", but the director is busy making a few actors toss and break through the password, so that the occasional ghosts appear soy sauce.
As a result, although the two parts of this work are similar, the focus of the story is different. In the first part, the focus of horror is mysterious phenomena. Just like we love to watch the horror show "Ghost Talk", supernatural phenomena appear very much. Meng is very enjoyable and inexplicable, with a strong sense of presence.
The second part focuses on why do hospitals trap people? It turned out that it was not the doctor who wanted to treat the disease, he had become a soy sauce. But this hospital likes to play with people, yes, yes, it is this hospital, he is alive, he likes to hide and hide with people. So a good "nonsense story" turned into a "stupid story".
What's disappointing is that the ghosts that appeared four times, except for Erzhang Gaoren who were more surprising, the other performances were very mediocre. The patient woman suddenly felt suffocated with her mouth wide open.
Well, I'll watch it when the third part comes out.
