Many people in the theater are flicking their tongues in the wax chicken movie (I couldn't help but flick it a few times)

When I was in elementary school, I read an English reading saying that yawning is contagious. You may also yawn when you see others yawning. (Do you want to yawn when you see this?) The reason is not clear. Still investigating.

Today, I went to see the movie "Hereditary of Doom". Friends who have seen it all know that there is a cute girl in it. Although she was hit in the head, she likes to flick her tongue.

Therefore, in the movie, the sound of Mengmei's tongue snapping is often heard before and after her death.

Then, when there were audience members in the theater, they became restless and began to learn to play.

Later, in the cinema, the sound of the tongue popping constantly appeared, and I didn't even know if the people in the movie were playing.

Afterwards, it felt like all of us had entered a mysterious realm, the sound of the tongue snapping, one after another, illusory film and reality.

After that, I couldn't help but bounce a few times.

Hahaha.


Regarding this movie, first of all, the trailer is actually quite vague, and that's fine, because this movie is a little new in the direction of the plot.

A little spoiler follows.

At the beginning of the movie, I feel that this movie is a suspense movie that is biased towards family/ethics. From this point of view, the general possible plot direction is that of mother or son. All suspense/thriller places are artificial, similar to the previous ones. The movie "Hide and Seek", etc., especially after the death of the daughter, the mother sleepwalks, the family begins to break up, and the son is ripped off in the dream. The plot here can still be explained by the mother's fine points.

Next, the important supporting actress Aunt appeared, opening a new door for the heroine. At this time, we will feel that the movie has begun to move towards the kind of plot line of Western seances/magic sticks.

Next, the daughter was invited back, and the plot here turned into a Wen Ziren-style soul-calling line. We should be able to guess that the daughter who was invited back would probably be like Annabella. Evil spirit.

Later, in the last 20 minutes of the movie, the style of painting changed again. There was no such way of confrontation between good and evil. There was no kind aunt and funny assistant to exorcise the demon, but everything became the resurrection of a cult leader. way. Then the story went completely dark, the whole family was destroyed, the mother flew everywhere, the daughter's soul (or possibly the reincarnation/possession of the cult leader) took over the brother's body, and everything completed the ritual revival.

At least in the process of watching it, I was very curious about how the plot of this movie will develop, and I didn't fully guess the ending. Of course, after reading it, you will find that there are a lot of clues buried in the front, proving that the story is actually complete, and this ending is the ending that will eventually be reached.

I always prefer horror movies with a little richer plot, so I don't like the third and fourth episodes of The Conjuring and Lurk, but I really like the first two, and I also like Dead Silence. Because the plot is very rich, or it is considered in time and space/narrative, or it is designed in the reversal of the plot. Even Kunchiyan, I like it very much, because there are several sections in it, such as the paragraph of the fashionable woman, the female ghost of the beauty contact bbox, etc., which can reflect the kind of desperate horror, of course, the sleepy pool salt. The bridge sections are not particularly novel, but the victory is that the production is quite atmospheric.

What I like about this movie is that it will be inherited from bad luck. There are few places where it is shocking and only relying on audio-visual scares, but the whole movie still permeates a lot of weird atmosphere. The part I like very much is the last son. The scenes that I experienced after waking up are relatively memorable.

Secondly, the mother, son and daughter of this movie are all very good at acting. It looks very involved.

In addition, I found that, in essence, I still like the horror film system of Asia and the East, which may be the subtle influence of culture. For example, in fact, I don't have any feelings about Western cults, Satan's possession, seances, etc. Maybe Westerners will feel more resonant when they see it.

In addition, I found that European and American horror movies are more and more like to take pictures that are particularly beautiful, the environment is particularly quiet, the mountains and forests are cold, various aerial photography, various close-ups of delicate objects, and various poetic perspective shifts Wait, it's more literary than many literary films, which makes me feel strange. I wonder if one day I will film the haunted incidents that happen in the bustling and more flamboyant life. Speaking of which, I feel that there are many horror movies in Hong Kong, and what makes me feel even more afraid is that many scenes, more everyday, are not in the villas isolated from the world in the mountains and forests, but in the buildings and office buildings in the downtown area. , If you say it's haunted, it's haunted, how close to the people. . .

    The director's level is surprisingly superb, and "Doll House" is also very successful as a new horror symbol. Screams, (comparable to the voice of the voice queen Kayako), tongue and...cute wailing one after another, all kinds of everyday sounds are also given a sense of horror, the use of sound elements is quite wonderful, Toni · Colette's hysterical state is even more cripple (with a sense of joy). The family fear of "The Witch" + the religious subversion of "The Exorcist" & "Rosemary's Baby" + the indiscriminate evil of "The Grudge", the role of mother with this family story is even a bit reminiscent of "Masked" Or "Still in the Mirror" (don't care how I think of it)...

    180821 Rewatch, slightly reduced points. A genre-wrapped classic tragedy that's a bit darker than Jordan Peele's, but both are very effective at squeezing comedy time into a thriller atmosphere (the mother attached to the ceiling at the end and the intense later). headbutt), of course, compared to the stupid jokes about Lynch in "Desperate" (the film itself is ridiculously stupid), looking back at Fredkin and Polanski in this film, I still More willing to believe in the possibility of Ali Esther's future.

Hereditary quotes

  • Annie: I just need you to go and see upstairs. Please, Steve. And then... there's more.

    Steve: You mean, more than your mother's headless body? Of course there is.

  • Annie: My name is Annie. My mom died a week ago. So I'm just here for... trying it. I have a lot of resistance to things like this, but I came to these a couple of years ago. Well, I was forced to come and I guess it, um... I guess it helped. So, um... My mom was old, and she wasn't all together there at the end. And we were pretty much estranged before that, so it really wasn't a huge blow. But I did... love her. And she didn't have an easy life. She had DID which became extreme at the end. And dementia. And my father died when I was a baby from starvation, um... because he had psychotic depression and he starved himself, which I'm sure was just as pleasant as it sounds. And then there's my brother. My older brother had schizophrenia, and when he was 16, he hanged himself in my mother's bedroom and of course his suicide note blamed her, accusing her of putting people inside him. So... that was my mom's life... .And then she lived in our house at the end, before hospice. We weren't even talking before that. I mean, we were, and then we weren't. And then we were. She's completely manipulative. Until my husband finally enforced a no-contact rule. Which lasted until I got pregnant with my daughter. I didn't let her anywhere near me when I had my first, my son, which is why I gave her my daughter, who she immediately stabbed her hooks into. And I just... I felt guilty again. I felt guilty again. When she got sick, not that she was really even my mom at the end, and not that she would ever feel guilty about anything. And I just don't want to put any more stress on my family. I'm not even really sure if they could... could give me that support. And I just... I just feel like... I just sometimes feel like it's all ruined. And then I realize that I am to blame. Or not that I'm to blame, but I am blamed!..."
