In horror films with a relatively low average level, our good friend Wen Ziren (called Wash, Cut and Blow because his hair kills Matt) has always been an excellent student who is much higher than the passing line. A piece of ketchup's blood plasma thriller is nothing short of a breath of fresh air.
From his debut "The Chainsaw" to "Dead Silence", "Hidden", etc., he has a very good grasp of the "silence" time left blank under the horror shots and the gradually accumulated emotions of the shots, and he even thought that he would enter the room as a The rhythm of the master.
"The Conjuring 2" is a very neat answer sheet by Wen Ziren this year. It is adapted from real events, intertwined with religious elements, and has a retro horror scene. When it was released in the United States, this film with very little investment also surpassed the China's hugely profitable "Warcraft" became the box office champion of the week.
Back to the movie itself, if you have seen "The Conjuring", you should know that the protagonists of The Conjuring are a famous exorcist couple. First of all, the first part is a haunted house in the UK. The ghost came to warm up and let everyone know that we The main battlefield has appeared, and the enemy has settled in.
Then back to the exorcist couple itself. The exorcist couple is composed of a model couple who are psychic, and the main psychic is the heroine. The psychic ability of the heroine from birth is given to her by a demon. The main purpose of the devil is to destroy her faith, but for a couple who likes to show their affection, the best way to destroy her faith is to kill her husband.
Finally, this couple was invited to the UK to fight ghosts, and I won't go into details about the fighting interactions between ghosts, demons and couples. I have to say that Wen Ziren is playing "ghost routines". carry forward.
For example:
1: For an old ghost movie fan like Jiu Me, when watching a ghost movie, basically, a line of dialogue and a scene come over, and I know what traditional stalks will come next. Many routines are interoperable. Mirrors, doors, lamps, under the bed, faucets, and many other items are the same.
2: As far as the plot is concerned, lonely children are prone to evil, and the house of the dead attracts the most ghosts. The old routine is that children or vulnerable women are easy to fall for evil and then say it out and don’t believe it. Ghosts often play against one person, but the ghosts in this film do not play cards according to the routine. When the police came to check, they said that there are no ghosts in your house. In the next second, the ghost will slap you in the face, and even interview the little girl on TV. The host said that you should go up and take a look, and then the ghost will go to the little girl... Ghost, is it really good for you to be so self-willed? ! Throw the table!
3: Next is the visual stalk. I feel that I need to take a screenshot of this part, but I suggest everyone to watch the last part of the trailer I lost.
For example, in a long shot, the camera will follow the protagonist's vision to give you a sense of substitution. When the heroine looks in the mirror, she sees someone in the mirror, and then turns back, and the camera moves with the protagonist's back. As a result, the camera is blank when it reaches the back. Then the heroine looked in the mirror again, and there was someone in the mirror! Then the heroine turned back again, and the camera turned back and was still blank! When the camera moved to this trajectory twice, we already knew that there were ghosts in the mirror, but there was no ghost behind the heroine. When the camera turned back for the third time, we thought The "horror scaring point" should be when he turned back for the third time, and the shock of not playing cards according to the routine came, and the blank scenes of the previous two turning backs were equivalent to an accumulation of "horror emotions", Wen Zi Jen's mastery of this method is simply perfect.
Including the fish-eye God's perspective in the film, as well as the personal first perspective, it is very good for the viewer to substitute himself into the play.
I highly recommend the scene of interrogating Janet, the male protagonist faces the camera in the foreground, the background is a blurred little girl/ghost, and the scene of his own study and the portrait of the devil, the fright index is very high.
Of course, this film still has its shortcomings:
1. The front and back paragraphs are relatively fragmented. For the audience, they have to understand that a ghost has a strange motive to go so far as to mess with his family.
2 is a big boss who has been paving the way for more than an hour. There should be an exorcism battle, but he was killed by the meme "If you know the name, I will die".
3 is that the devil is too much like Manson and will play.
But it is still the same sentence, the horror films produced by Wen Ziren are still a clear stream in the European and American horror films in the assembly line, and they are trustworthy. Of course, if you dig into the background of the real adaptation of this film, you can actually dig out a lot of interesting things. The real story adapted from this film is even more interesting than the movie. It is the most detailed exorcism event recorded in the sect.
The source of the big BOSS demon that Wen Ziren added and the story background of the hunchback man inside are also quite predictable, but I guess you are not too interested in this, so I will not talk about it.
The play is 2 hours long, and the fright index is good.
It's a good time to get a haircut in the hot summer.
