The tone of the whole film is strong colors, mainly dark colors, plus the weirdness of the two little girls. I have to say that this is a very gothic film, and the girl's ghost mother style is more called "" Mother of Goths". The footage throughout the film looks like you're reading an old novel, with its own unique temperament and depth, a bit of Twilight, but more intense. Western directors’ grasp of the visual temperament of a film can be said to be something that domestic directors need to explore and learn. It is said that in each of their films, especially fantasy films, there is a designer named Production desgner who is responsible for visual elements. , the unity of the artistic temperament of the scene, and this type of work seems to have not been "born" in Chinese movies, so it is of course not surprising that they can shoot good works.
Western-style horror films are roughly divided into four types in terms of presentation effects. One is the common zombie films and bloody films (mostly B-level). This kind of film uses violence, blood and nausea as the main means to show horror. The second is sci-fi horror films, such as "Resident Evil", "Alien", "Jurassic Park", etc.; the third One is a killer horror movie, which does not appear ghosts, and mostly focuses on perverted murders, such as "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Chainsaw Horror", etc.; another is a ghost horror movie, such as this film is a typical This kind of film will not let you see more blood and violence, and the "ghosts" in the film will not show their true colors at the beginning, and always produce a sense of fear in your heart through various signs and objective reflections, or It will surprise you when it appears at the right "opportunity". This type of horror film is more common in Japan and Thailand, but not so many in Europe and the United States. Europe and the United States value "materiality" more, so even ghosts have to have weight. There are countless such psychological horror films, such as "The Grudge", "Silent Hill" and so on. Personally, I think the most frightening of these types of horror films is the psychological horror film. This type of film makes full use of the audience's "crazy" heart, "killing" and intangibility, which makes you feel terrifying when you think about it after watching it. The highest level of film.
The film makes full use of the environment and objective props, such as the dilapidated little house in the forest, the dog with open eyes in front of the house that I don't know if it is a sculpture or a specimen, the girl's toy made of twigs, the girl's always looking upward eyes, the inexplicable ghost crying Sounds, etc. These factors create a very scary atmosphere. Even if the ghost does not appear, the audience will be scared half to death. After all, the human "brain supplement" function is super powerful, and making full use of this will achieve a multiplier effect.
