Men and I are the type of people who are both excited and scared of horror movies. After Hereditary comes out, we are all looking forward to it. Compared with the great gods who have read horror movies, I belong to the Bronze rank horror movie player. After all, I like to open station B and ask for "high-energy warning" >< When watching jump scare, I will cover my ears and watch it, and then I will still be scared. light. .
In my personal opinion, the two best horror films are "The Conjuring" and "Babadu". I personally prefer psychological horror and psychologically distorted horror films. After watching "Hereditary of Doom", I feel that Genetics of Doom is also an attack. Hit my heart! I also watched "A Quiet Place", "Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built", "The Strangers: Prey at night", "Truth or Dare" (ranked according to personal preference) this year, but none of them are really scary and to my taste. Found it until I watched "Doom Inheritance"!!!
Then we watched the show at 10:35 p.m. and walked out of the theater with each other's arms hahahahahaha?
When I watched the trailer, I didn't think it was particularly scary (in fact, I didn't understand it very much--), I thought it was a story about a weird little girl Charlie being resurrected by her grandmother, but the plot of the story completely exceeded my expectations. .
It's my favorite and most feared cult story! ! !
(Affirmation! Because it was the third day after watching it, I decided to write a review, so I can't remember many details. Welcome to correct me!)
The movie does start slowly, but it does a good job of introducing the twisted relationship of the whole family.
At the beginning of the grandmother's funeral, the eldest son's indifference, the strangers at the funeral, the little daughter's tongue-twisting, and the heroine's explanation of the grandmother's life all brought out the tragic atmosphere of the family's intertwined roots. Everyone in the family (except Peter) has some psychological and spiritual problems:
- Grandmother's mental problems in her later years (like DCD or DLD. As a psychology major, I forgot to be shameful..)
- Grandfather starved himself to death due to depression when the heroine Annie was a child. .
- The heroine's brother had schizophrenia at the age of 16 and committed suicide in his grandmother's room
- The heroine has always had some anxious reactions since her mother died. After Charlie's decapitation, the reaction intensified, and she went crazy because of the entanglement of reality and hallucinations.
- The heroine's husband also has a scene of taking medicine in the film, it is inferred that it should also be a decompression drug
- Charlie tongue-twitching + a bit autistic
Then, when the heroine was looking through the relics left by her mother, she saw the ghost grandma smiling in the corner. It is worth mentioning that there is a book in the relic called "Notes on Spiritualism", which shows that grandma has always had some abilities such as psychic medium + psychic. There is a card in the book, which is a letter from my grandmother to the heroine, which probably means to forgive everything she has done, because in the end all the sacrifices she made were worth it. Then the shot was given to the female lead's micro-sculptures, and then one shot that made me particularly uncomfortable/disturbed was when the cult grandmother took out her breasts to breastfeed Charlie.
Charlie cut off the head of a bird at school, and at the same time saw a woman beckoning to her outside the railing (it was later speculated that it might be her young grandma who came to deliver the bird to her), which also hinted that her head would fall off later. . Charlie started making a doll-like toy at home with the head of a bird, my understanding is that the beginning may be the beginning of some kind of ritual (eg grandma's King Paimon's resurrection plan)
Next, we can see through the plot that the relationship between the heroine and the children is not very good, and it feels thankless. In the movie Peter is very resistant to Annie, Annie blames when Charlie runs out of the yard to watch grandma's "appearance", and Charlie replies "I want grandma". The heroine was very tired at the time.
Then little brother Peter, like most high school students, wanted to go to a party with lust, but his mother cut off his beard, so he had to go with his sister. Peter, who wanted to play hookah with his friends, perfunctoryly asked his sister to eat cake in the corner, but he didn't expect that there were walnuts in the cake that would make his sister allergic. On the way to take my sister to the hospital in a speedy drive, because I dodged a deer + my sister leaned out of the car window to try to breathe, my sister's head hit a telephone pole engraved with a cult totem. So sister gg. Here's to praise the director's details. The director is really good at using the camera to guide the audience's imagination. When everyone knows that there is a headless body in the back seat of the car, he just doesn't turn the camera to the rearview mirror. At this point, I couldn't even breathe.
The little brother was so frightened that he drove the car home, leaving Charlie's body in the car. In the morning, my mother found all kinds of screams and crying, so I won't go into details. At the funeral, the heroine's mother once again burst into tears, and at the same time, the camera moved to a grave (cross-section of turf and earth) not far from the heroine's group. I personally infer that it was my grandmother's grave. At that time, my grandmother's coffin was gone, and my grandmother's body was moved to the attic at the back. The reason for the inference is that Dad answered a call later, from the cemetary (cemetery), as if something was wrong with grandma's cemetery. I can't remember exactly what it said, maybe I heard it wrong.
Since then, the atmosphere at home has been stiff and tired, and everyone seems to be hesitant to say anything, not knowing how to get back on track. The heroine Annie used the excuse of watching a movie to confide in the mutual aid meeting every night, and then she met the uninvited Joan, the best friend of the cult grandmother before her death, and a member of the cult, but she did not show her truth to Annie. identity. Instead, it resonated with Annie through the drowning of her grandson, making Annie seem to have found spiritual support.
When Annie and Joan confided their thoughts, Annie introduced his sleepwalking history (I can't remember the chronological order of the plot, I can write it where I think of it). On one night when Peter was still sharing a room with Charlie, Annie sleepwalked into the children's room with a match in hand, subconsciously trying to burn Peter to death. This sleepwalking gave Peter a great childhood shadow, and he didn't trust Annie very much since then.
Annie became increasingly neurotic and had a huge argument with her son at the dinner table. This actor's mood is very good, I won't say anything specific, everyone can taste it by themselves!
Later Annie went to Peter's room and Peter asked Annie why he gave birth to him. The heroine unexpectedly said "I didn't want to give birth to you, I tried everything that could lead to a miscarriage, but I still couldn't shed you" (God I forgot whether this was before seeing Peter's face covered in ants or My face is full of ants - -)
Annie "ran into" Joan when she went to the hypermarket. Joan forcibly took Annie to her office/home, performed a live conjuration, and had a conversation with her little grandson. This terrifies Annie (making Annie crumble), and Joan forces Annie into psychic skills, giving her time to try it out with Charlie. Now it seems that Joan intends to let Annie summon King Paimon.
Peter woke up from a dream one night, opened his eyes and saw Charlie standing in the corner, and then her head rolled down and turned into a ball. The little brother frightened TUT again and suddenly stretched out his hands behind the bed, pulling the little brother's head back. At this time, Annie came over and wanted to wake up the little brother from the "nightmare", but when the little brother woke up, he insisted that Annie was pulling his head. At this point, the trust between family members has run out, and everyone is starting to become nervous.
Annie's anxiety + nervousness caused her husband to start to dislike her slowly, and the family relationship was on thin ice and very tense. Annie went into the toilet and summoned Charlie secretly. After success, she persuaded her husband and son to come to the living room and summon Charlie together. The plot begins to climax from this moment. Charlie was successfully summoned, but along with the cult leader King Paimon. Annie was successfully put on by Charlie, and the voice she shouted was the voice of a little girl (my scalp was about to explode when I watched it, I was about to cry) and then the little brother and Annie's husband were also scared to death, and finally poured water on Annie to let her wake up. After the incident, the whole family almost collapsed.
Annie rushed to Joan's house to find the answer, but found that Joan was not there (in the timeline, Joan should be casting spells at Peter's school at this time). Through the lens, it can be seen that there is a sacrificial ceremony in Joan's residence, and there is a bird head doll made by Charlie on the table. (So is Joan also calling at the same time?) Through the familiar carpet at the door, Annie seemed to realize something. She rushed home to search for the relics left by her mother, and found in a photo album that Joan turned out to be her mother's best friend. I forgot why Annie opened the attic, maybe go up to find the relic. Then a headless corpse was found with a cult totem above it. This headless corpse should be a grandma, because she was wearing a similar nightdress. Annie also found King Paimon's information, saying that King Paimon is a great devil who can only be summoned by parasitizing on a man's body, and can bring endless wealth to believers.
During this period, the notebook in Charlie's room has been drawing by himself, all of which are Peter with crossed eyes. Annie tried to burn the notebook, but the moment it burned, she also caught fire.
At the same time Peter saw Joan outside the fence calling him something like "Peter Get out of the body" during lunch, meaning to let him get out of the body. Peter was successfully topped by a light spot (evil spirit) in the locker corridor of the school, and he mutilated himself in the classroom. After the self-mutilation, he looked like his sister, so it may be that he was topped by his sister. (Actually, I am very puzzled by who was the upper body, including the mother before and after the upper body. Maybe different people can achieve the ultimate goal.)
Husband Steve brought Peter home, but Annie took him to the attic to look at the body. Steve questioned calling the police, and Annie told him that the tragedy of the family was caused by her, and everything should be blamed on herself. She asked Steve to throw the notebook into the fire, so that he could indirectly burn himself to death. As long as he died, the tragedy in the family would not continue, and his son Peter would not be hurt again. However, Steve thinks what Annie is saying is crazy and rejects her. Annie was provoked, grabbed the book and threw it into the fire, but Stevve was on fire and was burned alive. Annie was slapped again while crying, I don't know who it was, maybe it was King Paimon or grandma. (Because Peter found the body missing when he hid in the attic behind)
Peter woke up from a dream and found no one at home. He went downstairs and saw the tragic state of his father being burned to death. At this point, Annie the thief was stuck on the roof in fucking horror (crying QAQ) and stared at him. Peter looked back and Annie was gone (thinking of Ms. Gaya). Looking back, the chase with the devil mother began. Peter rushed upstairs and tripped, and Annie tripped too (suddenly (⊙o⊙)…) Then Peter ran to the attic and locked the attic door. Here comes one of the most powerful scenarios. Mom hung upside down on the attic door on the roof and knocked on the door frantically with her head. (I was so frightened that I wanted to run out of here, it was really, really, really scary) The knocking on the door stopped suddenly, Peter turned his head, and found a circle of candles in the corner where the grandma's body had been placed, There is a person's imprint. At this time, Peter was almost collapsed, and when he heard a sound on the top, he looked up and saw that his mother, Annie, had been hanging on it for some time. Annie pulled a wire/rope in her hand and cut her head. . I saw that she was pulling faster and faster, and the blood began to rush (I couldn't move at that time, I stayed on the chair) and then suddenly three naked ancestors came out of the corner, which completely scared Peter crazy. , jumped out of the attic and fell to the ground.
However, Peter did not fall to his death, and was successfully put on by King Paimon and Charlie. So far, King Paimon successfully lodged in Peter's body. "Peter" got up and saw the headless mother fly into the tree house next to the house. "Peter" climbed into the tree house, which was a coronation ceremony. Everyone is on their knees (including headless grandma and headless mother, and a bunch of ancestors or something) "Peter" is crowned, and grandma says "it's okay Charlie" about comforting Charlie and praising King Paimon.
The film ends with three long live King Paimon.
Wow. . This is the first time I wrote a movie review and I wrote such a long story. I feel like my body has been hollowed out hahaha
Many details have not had time to write, and I can't think of them. I plan to brush it again next Tuesday.
But I still wonder if the heroine Annie knows about the cult. I personally prefer not to know, because she later thought that burning the notebook would burn herself to death, thus protecting her son. And she didn't have a good relationship with her mother. The cult necklace Annie wore at the funeral may be hereditary.
There are still doubts, including grandma's corpse, Joan's call, and who the light spot represents each time.
Anyway, I am willing to give a very high score to the film "Doom Inheritance", the effect of playing the two cards of psychological distortion and cult is really good, and the scenes of family disputes are also very moving and fascinating because of the amazing performance of the actors.
At last. . Looking forward to "The Nun" and the RNG Summer Split! Whee
