I wanted to give it three points, but the rating is very low, but compared to horror movies, it really has his sights. Although there are many shortcomings, there are also many advantages.
This film actually has a very good framework, many points can be deepened, and the theme can actually go deep into human nature [forgiveness and self-redemption].
The movie is probably about a mother's child being murdered by a cult brain-dead youth performing a ritual. This mother originally studied religion, so she has her own way to find some people who can perform complex and mysterious religious rituals. She wants to take revenge through rituals and let the murderers of her children be punished by heaven. And the psychic who can help the heroine perform the ritual (in fact, it is not very clear about his identity), in addition to collecting money to do things, he also wants to make a wish to the guardian angel through this ceremony to achieve the so-called "invisibility" wish. But it seemed to me that he actually needed a glimpse of the miracle through the mother's desperate desire for the loss of her child and revenge. Because ordinary small wishes are not strong enough, there is no way to summon miracles!
The process of the ritual requires human perseverance and patience, because the process is very long, and you will constantly doubt whether it is a sign of pretending to be a ghost or a sign of supernatural power. And the ceremony is really not something that ordinary people can endure! The heroine and the psychic also had a lot of quarrels in the process.
In the end, the heroine broke the rules, walked out of the barrier, and finally found that she could not return to the real world. She returned to the house where the ceremony was being performed and suddenly saw a group of ghosts. The heroine was arrested, and then the heroine suddenly had an epiphany and kept saying sorry I'm sorry, this sincerity touched the guardian angel, and suddenly a bright light disperses all the ghosts, and the angel actually appeared! Also very special! The heroine can finally make a wish, but she has worked so hard to summon an angel, and her wish is to have the heart to forgive others! ! ! Then the heroine can finally leave the enchantment and start a new life, and the story ends.
Okay, let’s talk about the advantages. I think the whole process of the ceremony is relatively detailed and exquisite. However, when various unusual miracles occur, you can add a lot of thoughtful points to give the audience a better experience. Movie viewing experience (after all, we are running for terror! Please be scared!!!)
In the part where miracles are embodied, some are scary and some are beautiful (for example, the falling gold foil on the ceiling indicates that God is really listening). This part can be fuller!
In the end, the guardian angel finally appeared in a dramatic way. It was really sudden and surprising, but the heroine actually made such a wish? ! Well, let the heroine's wishes be simple and noble, angel, send your son back to the heroine! Or let the son and mother say something touching, it may be a little more vulgar, but it will warm the heart, and it will not end inexplicably?
This film is actually quite fresh. It could have been better, but it has been sloppy in many places, which is really a pity.
