"The Evil Dead" is a film made by Sam Raimi, the director of the "Spider-Man" series in 1981. The series has a total of three films and has always been talked about by Cult Film fans. Throughout the whole film, only the word "fighting" can barely describe the sensory impact the film brings to the audience. Like most B-level horror films, the plot itself is so pale that the director's real focus lies in the creation of the atmosphere and the setting of the horror scenes one after another. Director Sam Remy has demonstrated his excellent control. Through the editing of the screen and the movement of the camera, the entire horror scene is full of tension. The soundtrack and sound effects of this film seem to be unskilled and even a little cumbersome. , But its omnipotent attitude makes them seamlessly integrated with the picture. Particularly commendable is Sam Remy’s ability to capture the camera. Compared with Michael Bay’s thorough global shots, Sam Remy pays more attention to the movement of subjective shots and the free switching of perspectives. It is precisely because of his always The unchanging concept of shooting makes our Spider-Man look more comfortable and thrilling when he shuttles between the high-rise buildings in New York.
But today, the golden age of movies has become history, and we don't expect to be able to make another pure film like "Ghosts". When we embark on a new film, we will take into account utilitarian elements such as film festivals, markets, culture, politics, audiences, and electronic censorship, so those seemingly easy things are just like flying in "Ghosts" His limbs and plasma, or the various killing methods of the tall sister in "Meteor Butterfly Sword", they disappeared at the fastest speed. To a certain extent, watching a movie like "Ghost Man" is actually to miss an era, an era of filming for the sake of filming. This is the most valuable part that similar movies leave us.

    The director was only 22 years old when he finished filming this film. By comparison, we are really putting our age on a living dog. Except for the performance, soundtrack, and lighting that are not very harmonious, everything else is perfect. I especially admire the mobile photography. Carpenter's "Halloween" can't even play, and the whole feeling of smoothness is too comfortable. I watched "Bad Taste" yesterday, and the mobile photography in it was also praised. The foreign boy really understands movies by nature, what's going on? The female ghost is a bit like "The Exorcist"
