As usual, let’s start with the English title of this movie. After all, the English title is more authentic than the translated Chinese title.
Annabelle comes home, direct meaning, Annabelle came home or Annabelle came home (present tense)
In my opinion, if it is forcibly explained by the method of middle school Chinese reading, there are two meanings:
One: Annabelle came to the home of the Warrens. The plot and timeline of the film are also connected to "Annabelle 1". The title explains Annabelle's arrival and clarifies the film's timeline
Two: Annabelle came to the collection room of the Warrens. Given that there are many ghosts sealed in the collection room or participated in sacrificial activities, there are still many evil spirits in a sealed state, and Annabelle's ability is to summon evil spirits. It can be said that in the On another level, this is also an Annabel-friendly "home"
I remember that the first time I met "The Conjuring" was last summer vacation. At that time, when I saw the "Conjuring" series, I felt new to horror films, perhaps because of the unique shooting style and endless evil spirits. Of course, the biggest IP was the Warren couple (this one). (We'll talk about it later) I was less exposed to other horror films during this period. When I watched "Annabelle 3", I saw that it had a slightly lower rating, and I was thinking about this question: what kind of horror film is horror? How can a good horror movie be scary?
The Conjuring series has been going on for many years, and it is no exaggeration to call it the Conjuring universe. And in this universe, the scary moves are still the same: flooded tan furniture with dim yellow lights, from strange noises at first to seeing evil spirits walking around the room and then furniture or people being forcibly moved. This set of "theories" has almost become a stereotype
Sometimes I am frightened because the protagonist suddenly turns around and finds that the ghost is frightened by this surprise, and then says that the movie is spicy chicken, it will only be frightening at first glance.
When it comes to how scary, I have to mention another scary method of horror films: psychological fear
I remember the previous "The Conjuring" directed by Wen Ziren, some people described it like this
"Director Wen's film is like a needle in a nurse's hand. It hangs all the time and doesn't pierce for a while, but you know it will pierce sooner or later. When you think it's a false alarm, it suddenly pierces in."
Turning to the current movies, such as this one, "Annabelle 3", most of the shots can predict its appearance a few seconds in advance, the protagonist slowly turns back in horror and knows that there must be a ghost, and there are some flaws in the plot ( Like where did the Warrens go that night?)
And this movie may be a very good one for amateur movie fans like me. After all, so many evil spirits and ghosts come and go like a revolving lantern, and many of them have seen independent movies before and "have" Emotions" is really a feast for the eyes.
From this point of view, "Annabelle 3" is not a particularly bad movie, but it has attracted a lot of fans with a big IP. It can be said to have an advantage over its peers at the same cost, but compared to its predecessors , still not so
some people say that
"Wen Ziren as director and producer are two completely different things for the film"
In addition, there is nothing wrong with the acting of the young actor Mckenna Grace, maybe because of her cuteness, I lost myself. Also, I found something interesting in this movie
Mckenna Grace plays the daughter of the Warrens. She is used to seeing her parents exorcism, and she is used to seeing ghosts like her mother's yin and yang eyes. Unlike most actresses who rely on roaring, she is rarely seen in the movie. Screaming, more ignorance and placidity.
But people will eventually be afraid, and she is one of the few scared to scream. I remember that a female ghost crawled out of the quilt in front of me on the bed, but then quickly calmed down. Just such acting skills can easily kill most actresses in seconds
Also in the little actor's house, there is a very interesting scene: the small colored lights that are touched but still continue to rotate show the shadow of Annabelle on the wall. The shape of a monster also hints at Annabelle's ability to summon evil spirits, which is eye-catching.
In terms of the plot, the Warrens have no explanation for what they did that night. Didn't the first two lines of the phone call to mother at night connect? Or didn't get through at all? And at little Judy's birthday party, if Daniela wasn't there, I'd love to let Annabelle go and strangle her myself
About the Warren couple in the reality of the tribute at the end, I don't know if it is true, but I would rather believe it than not believe it, maybe there are many evils in this world that we can't see, and there are many people we can't see eradicating them. I'm not superstitious, but supernatural forces do exist in my opinion. After all, it is impossible for human beings to see through nature after thousands of years of history.
Finally, there is one more sentence I want to say to the evil spirits in "Annabelle 3": I expect your "ghost" movie to enrich the Conjuring Universe. Although it may be the same, I will still buy it.
