Compared with the haunted and psychic movies that are now popular, it is not a genre. For those who like thrills, they can turn it off here.
First of all, this is obviously a movie with religion or mysticism as the theme. The whole story is not so much about the heroine's revenge through the seance, but rather the process of the heroine's thinking change. This and the director wants to create A closed and repressed atmosphere is similar to that of "Paris Catacombs", such as the word "epiphany epiphany" mentioned in the film, which is often used in occult films, and the whole film is about the process of this epiphany.
Before the ceremony began, the male protagonist repeatedly confirmed the purpose of the female protagonist's ritual, and probed into the female protagonist's determination. As a psychic aunt, there is absolutely no need for such a big fight to carry out the ritual of betting on the soul. Only the pain of losing a child can be enough to support her to complete this process. The male protagonist also repeatedly hinted to him that the process and results of the ceremony were related to her heart. The purpose of the male protagonist is only to perform this ritual, so as to spy on the mysteries of God, not the so-called "invisibility". He knows that he cannot summon angels because he does not have enough "desire" to see angels. Some phenomena that happened at the beginning of the ceremony, the flowers on the corridor, and the golden rain that fell from the "fifth circle" were all reflected by the heroine's desire to see her son at this time, and the angel had already listened to it.
Next, let’s look at this ceremony. The purpose of the ceremony is also very clear. It purifies the body and mind. Angels can be summoned until they can pass through the gates of different worlds. However, it should be noted that the angels described in the film do not refer to the familiar ones. An angel, that kind of angel cannot fulfill your wishes (knocking on the blackboard). According to mysticism, it should be said that it is a kind of elves, from another world, an angel in charge of a certain power.
In the middle of the film, there were obviously "signs", but the ceremony seemed to be unable to push forward. The male protagonist also began to doubt and question the female protagonist. In hell, the things that appeared have also changed. The devil who spoke in the son's voice came out at this time to seduce the heroine, the goblin dolls that drove the rhythm, and the pictures of the son torn by the heroine also showed that the heroine is now I want my son to come back, not just to meet or talk. With remorse, the devil is attracted. It can be said here that the door is a metaphor. According to mysticism, the devil cannot come to the world except by being summoned or invited. Opening the door is a permission. Many haunted movies have quoted this theory, and the will of the heroine is also Very firm, and did not allow the devil to come in.
The male protagonist is also on the verge of dying. The male protagonist was shaken after going through all this, just like what he said before his death, but unlike the female protagonist, when people feel fear, they start to say what to arm themselves, and finally collapse, start to miss their relatives, and finally Devoured by demons. In fact, the male protagonist is passively cooperating with the female protagonist from beginning to end. The shadow of smoking that the heroine saw at night also implied that the devil was going to take him away.
At the end, when the heroine walked out of the house, she found that she could not return to the real world and then turned back again, which led to the "flash of demons" that appeared at the end. According to my understanding, this is not a demon, or the devil used the heroine's heart to sacrifice his son to a cult. A reflection of fear and hatred, the grandmother is a hint (otherwise, it is reasonable to say that the heroine can't find the body of the hero, isn't she dragged to hell, haha), this is also what she has to face in the end The darkest side of the soul, after passing this level, can see the angel.
This is my understanding of the film
In the end, I would like to ask, what kind of expectations do the one-star viewers have when watching this movie?
Expect the heroine to be unable to support her escape from the house? Or are you too excited to hear your son's voice and immediately open the door for the devil?
I think the shot is pretty good, although some parts are a bit rough
