Before I saw it, I thought the most scary thing was the smoky long ghost on the poster, but the truth is that the first half of the male protagonist turned into a grimace glitch is the most terrifying. The mental hospital part is not as scary as the first one, for three reasons: 1. It is close to the previous horror ambush, and we are mentally prepared. 2. The scary parts are densely distributed in a short period of time, and it looks numb and feels like an adventure in a haunted house. 3. Insufficient atmosphere rendering.
2 and 3 points are connected. I think putting enough time between the scary points and letting the audience experience "nervous-relaxed-seems not right-nervous-fuck...-fuck!!" is the way to create a scary atmosphere, not scary The dots poured in—"Fuck!—Fuck—why come again...—Eh—this ghost isn't scary...—hahahahaha"—like that.
I suspect that the screenwriter didn't know what to write to be scary at the end, so he came up with a fantasy ending that opened his mind. The movie went from "a bit of "Escape" in the first part to the first 2/3 of the amusement park ordinary haunted house adventure in the second part, and finally turned into a puzzle unlocking adventure hhhh
Don't like the setting of the ending of the second part, but I think it also has its beauty. In this ending, the boss of the film company completes the transformation from the neutral image of the first film to the evil capitalist (…) who is inhuman and only loves money in the second film. The second protagonist has completed the transformation from good to evil the moment he kills his girlfriend. So this is a fucking movie about human nature.
There is another scary point. This setup is pretty neat.
The second story happened because the protagonist of the second watched the movie "Encounter in the Graveyard" (yes, the first one), just like us. In the world of the protagonist, "Encounter in the Graveyard" is officially declared to be a pseudo-documentary horror film, which is a show, not a real documentary, just like our world. But as the protagonist explores further, he discovers that the story of "Graveyard Encounter" is real and not a fake documentary. So the audience, that is, us, faced the same situation as the two protagonists. In the play and in our real world, both officials tell you that "Encounter in the Graveyard" is a fake record, but who the hell knows that these two "Encounters in the Graveyard" are actually real records. Although 99% is not real, but the point is not this, the point is that this setting is pretty good.
