Let me talk about the part that makes the audience scream. The movie is like collecting the classic elements of B-level horror films, curses, gypsies, evil spirits, skeletons, hells, cemeteries, crosses, psychics... and most importantly, Sam Raimi will never fall, that is "Bad taste". Comparing the many bloody and violent scenes in "Ghosts", "Pull Me to Hell" shows more nausea, maggots, flies, vomit sticky, eyeballs, mud... and the plasma only appeared once. The second is the shocking sound effects. I don’t know if I’m going to feel completely lost when I watch it on the computer. In short, being in the movie theater frightens me a lot. The sudden appearance of a large number of sound effects is not only unbearable by the ears, but also the heart will suddenly stop beating. And Sam Raimi still uses a lot of sound, as loud as the sound of knocking on doors and fences, as small as the buzzing of flies, and what makes me most unforgettable is the sound of wind, the sound of broken windows, the flapping of doors when the heroine is alone at home. There is also the piercing sound of pots and pans hanging in the air, and all the sounds fill the eardrums of the audience; and the sound effect whenever the cursed person is pulled into hell by the evil spirit, it is almost a mountain collapse. .
Let's talk about the humor part. One of the reasons why it is so entertaining is that Sam Raimi can make the audience scream and laugh immediately after being frightened by the sound effects.
A particularly impressive humorous scene, such as the heroine fighting with the hag in the car, the heroine hits the hag with a stapler to bind the upper and lower eyelids of the hag’s right eye together, and then when the speeding car is about to hit another car, The hag widened her eyes in a frightened state, and the nail in her right eye was also broken; the
hag didn’t realize that the denture was knocked off, she hugged the heroine’s chin and gnawed it for a long time before finding that she had no teeth, so she turned and installed it. ；
The heroine must give the cursed buttons to others. She sits in the cafe and looks at the three children first. If it doesn’t work, she then looks at the quarreling couple. She hesitates. Then the couple reconciles, she gives up, and again. Looking to the other side, she saw an elderly man who needed artificial oxygen, and she resolutely walked over... The
psychic told the heroine that she must sacrifice an animal. The heroine claimed to be a vegetarian and refused to kill her. After the evil spirit was thrown into the air, she sullenly picked up a knife and called her cat’s name in her mouth...
Another thing worth mentioning was the special effects of the movie. Although they only appeared a few times, they were impressive. Bright. The narrative rhythm of the movie is like a roller coaster, so there is no chance to relax. The biggest regret is that the coin/button trick that led to the climax was too easy to see through, so the final climax did not bring too many surprises.
Sam Raimi paid tribute to himself once, and let many people once again experience the evil taste brought by the B-level horror film in the theater. Therefore, there is no need to entangle more. Summer vacation movies, whether you are scared and disgusted, or are made to laugh, as long as you can be entertained by it.
