You can watch it, the director is good, the film is weird, it feels bad

1. "The Book of Ghosts" was filmed in a serious way. Although the filming was very successful, after watching it, in addition to admiring the director, I really felt that the film was not interesting.
2. I haven't seen any horror movies this year. "Magic Words" seems to be a cult of David Fincher, the style is in place but the story is too single. "Ghost Covering Eyes" is a good-looking film, but a film that is not enjoyable to watch, will always make you feel that this is a flaw or something. "Death Snow 2" has a B-level improvement, but do you think it is actually a copy of a student compared to "Ghost Playing People 2"?
3. For the horror movie of 2014, I recommend "Staying Home". If you are not a horror movie lover, I suggest not to watch this movie with high expectations, especially when you watch it after I recommend it, you will be disappointed, come back and give two or three stars, and immediately after my writing a few words. It means nothing to you and me. I suggest you go see it, but it may be lower than your expectations. And for a perennial horror movie fan, this movie will be the sweetest three-cup brew from your old buddy you haven't seen in years.
.I don't want spoilers, and I don't want to go into a long story. I'm writing here just to recommend this film as much as possible. In a word, this is a rare masterpiece that can be released even in the mainland, but it is a pity that the mainland screenwriter's head was sucked by a black hole. . . .It seems pointless to say so much, but this movie should be the best horror movie of 2014 in my heart. This film has been suspenseful. After the suspense, you have to wait for the climax. After the climax, you have to wait for the subversion. After the subversion, you have to wait for the warmth. Hate and fortunate, you can get what you expect. In other words, this film can exceed you. You can't guess the ending because of your imagination, and everything is in the emotional touch that you can imagine in your heart.
4. Horror movies play on the imagination, beyond your imagination to meet your psychological needs. If modern horror movies, or recent horror movies can't meet your needs, it is recommended to search for early old horror movies. Although Italy was more famous in the early days, I personally don't like it, I think it is disgusting and meaningless. Personally recommend the landmark "The End of the Coffin", "Murdering Clowns in Outer Space", and "Magic Village". The reason for the recommendation is that the imagination is very rich, and there are many types of modern horror films, but they are just repetitions.

The Babadook quotes

  • Amelia: [Samuel comes out from hiding and Amelia shrieks like a banshee. Amelia starts approaching Samuel, but he starts wetting himself.] You little pig. Six years old and you're still wetting yourself. You don't know how many times I wished it was you, not him, that died.

    Samuel: I just wanted you to be happy.

    Amelia: [mocking Samuel] I just want you to be happy. Sometimes I just want to smash your head against the brick wall until your fucking brains pop out.

    Samuel: [softly] You're not my mother.

    Amelia: What did you say?

    Samuel: I said you're not my mother!

    Amelia: I AM YOUR MOTHER!

  • Samuel: It wasn't me, Mum! The Babadook did it!
