On the downfall of a mentally handicapped evil spirit

In European and American movies, wearing a religious coat can make the film instantly taller, such as conjuring the soul, such as the exorcist

The ability to dare to challenge God directly is indeed beyond the imagination of European and American believers. This relatively powerful impact creates a sense of fear

This film also follows the same path, but compared with the predecessors and smarter demons, the evil spirits in this film are really low in IQ, not a single star.

Regardless of whether it is a spiritist or an exorcist, the final boss is a famous demon in Christianity. But the BOSS in this film is at best a lonely ghost with no background and strong resentment

Generally, such wild ghosts don't dare to do things blatantly. At most, they possess a few heads like Chu Renmei, or curse like Sadako, or do something in a confined space like Gaya. This may be the law of survival of this evil spirit

However, the villain of this play does not have such a consciousness at all. Based on the principle of making trouble not too big a problem, he pretends to be the Virgin Mary, directly making the matter of the appearance of the saints known to everyone, and even notified the Vatican headquarters. , which led to elite priests, who were eventually suspected and eliminated. . .

In addition, in terms of demagoguery, the level of villains is also a batch of water. There is only one way to rely on the voice of the heroine, and the method is very simple. You must know that the voice of the female protagonist affects the obsessive believers who are far away, but it has little effect on the uncle priests, male protagonists, elite priests and other people in the circle who are closer. These people in the circle are more familiar with him, and they will be the first to notice its anomalies, making it easier to see the problem

In fact, the uncle of the heroine was the first to notice that something was wrong, because it was the hero and the elite Vatican priest. For this kind of person who discovers the truth, the villain adopts a simple and rude method and directly silences it. In addition, the villain is also relatively weak in the job of killing mouths. He just killed the uncle by taking a single order, and killed the elite priest by accident. The male protagonist ran away and became an important force in the counterattack.

Moreover, this not-so-successful direct silence can only have the opposite effect. On the one hand, it makes the male protagonist more skeptical, even more convinced, and on the other hand, the belief of the possessed female protagonist is also shaken. Later, the core of the villain's failure was that the heroine herself was expelling the villain (actually, this is also a problem. In the end, it was the villain who was defeated by the heroine's thoughts. The scene and the sense of ceremony were not very strong, giving me a kind of "this is it?" Feel)

Generally speaking, it is a very mediocre horror film. It doesn't matter if it can't give people the slightest feeling of horror, and the plot is a bit dragged. The male protagonist himself is a tool person, but the screenwriter also spent a lot of time introducing his life story, and he did not explain it in the end.

Very bad, there are still public accounts to recommend. . . .
