When the big scene unfolds, it will never return to the main tone that details create fear

I just want to give 2 stars for the second

movie 1 Ever since I saw a broken door or a sucking black hole at the end,
I thought to myself, it's over, this movie made the same mistake as "Death Video 2" ,
turned the original pseudo-documentary horror with strong authenticity into a sci-fi film! ! !

Did the directors taste the sweetness of the first part at the beginning,
but the second part began to be imaginative.

2 It took too long to explain that "Death Video" is real.
Due to the length of the whole film, the following group When I went to confirm, the vision appeared too fast (Die Xian's paragraph), which made the audience feel a little ironic, ah! It turned out to be true! There are really ghosts!


3 Stupid behavior The
actor has studied the movie for so long and sees that there is a wall at the end of EXIT, it's beautiful!
Since you know that this building will cause spatial chaos, why do you break in excitedly without remembering the consequences at all?
At first, the male protagonist's friends disagreed with his actions, and finally they agreed to go there,
knowing that they might not be able to get out. , don't all go in, okay, leave one person outside to guard just in case.
Lance told them at first that there was a house they couldn't go to, but the hero and heroine insisted on breaking in to have a look, only to understand that they didn't believe what a lunatic said.


4 The huge monster reaching to the ceiling is a bright spot
. Open the elevator and find that you are in the hospital again. It may be a bright spot, but viewers who have watched the first movie believe that they already know what will happen next when they see it. It can be said that the sense of despair is stronger than that of the first film, which is a bit like the plot in "1408". It is even more hopeless that he has walked out of the house and is actually still in the house.
The appearance of Lance, the protagonist in the first movie, was a surprise, but it was a bit annoying to use the mouse-eating part as well. Finally, I opened the red door and found that I didn't go out. It turned out that the devil told him to collect all the cameras. Seeing this, it hurts deeply . It is better to give Lance a close-up of the highly decomposed corpse directly in the underground tunnel, and there is more room for him to play than to let him live.


5. Huge failure: The big scene unfolds, and the main tone of the details to create fear can never be returned

. The horror atmosphere created in the first part is quite successful. Sasha's hair was touched by a ghost. This simple plot is enough to make the audience who have been holding their breath and nervous for a long time feel extremely terrified. Later, as the plot develops, the slightly moving windows and wheelchairs are bedding at the beginning, and then the flying wire bed pushes the fear to At a higher stage, this is to suppress the small details, so that the subsequent plot development is a gradual process, but in the final analysis, the main tone cannot run.

Look at this one again.

The flying camera, the sucking black hole, the policeman who was burned to death by electric shock, the ghost wrote on the wall and demanded "Finish all the movies", and the broken red door at the end
completed the task required by the devil - killing the long-cherished companion to meet the conditions ——Through the gate of different dimensions. . . . . .
Am I watching a video game?
It may all look shocking, but it's totally a sci-fi movie! !

Seeing this, once again, my egg hurts deeply.
The easter egg in the ending also seems to explain that there is a reason why the hero killed the heroine. . . .

This is not the route this movie should take, okay?
Other horror movies can explain the grievances and grievances dating back many years.
As a pseudo-documentary, why did it have such a bad ending!
All of a sudden there is no real feeling!
If you have the time to bury this foreshadowing, it would be better to explore the history of the hospital.
Those mentally ill patients who were mutilated are more worthy of discussion than this little girlfriend!
But this kind of plot development, everything becomes hysterical,
The audience had no choice but to follow the unrestrained plot. What did
they lose? It is an immersive sense of fear,
which is deeply connected to the imagined space where the vision occurs.
No matter how the vision unfolds, it will not break away from the normal human thinking in the end,
just like we are afraid of flying wire beds. .
But it unfolds like this,
just like in fairy tales, people can fly in the sky and it won't make people strange. If the
logic is lost, the sense of fear will also be lost,
because anything can happen here, and there is nothing left to do. scary?


All in all, rather disappointed.
All good movies can't escape the fate of the dog tail sequel.
If it has a third movie, I think the worst ending
is probably like "Death Video 3", which directly abandoned the DV machine.
If so, there is nothing to say. span

Grave Encounters 2 quotes

  • Lance Preston: He opened a gateway, you know? Friedkin did. He took the real world and the spirit world and he mashed them together.

  • Alex Wright: So you admit it, the footage is real

    Jerry Hartfield: Yeah, every last frame of it. Except for a few cheap visual effects that we added at the last minute.

    Alex Wright: I guess I just don't understand why you did it.

    Jerry Hartfield: Listen, when I first saw those tapes, I was scared to death. You understand? I mean, I even thought about destroying them. But after all the settlements I was close to bankruptcy, and so... I had an idea. Why not release it as a film? You know maybe we can recoup some of our losses. And it worked great. They already want a sequel... Grave Encounters 2, can you believe that?
