as a very well-known American brand character, the film is directly used as the title character, more importantly, it conjuring film (also produced by Warner and New Line) at the beginning of the formation of consistency, and The timeline is earlier, and the two films are marketed by each other, which is very interesting.
2. Costs and benefits (US and global)
The production cost of this film is only 6.5 million US dollars, but the global box office reached 255 million US dollars, which is an amazing success. The North American box office has 84 million, and the global box office has 170 million US dollars. Overseas box office warehouses include Brazil, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Therefore, horror movies are the best IP for small fights, which has been tried and tested in the US market.
3. Actor selection and performance.
The most interesting choice of characters in this film is the heroine. She appears with a cold face and feels that the whole film is in a cold state of mind. But it is this kind of "nonchalant" that makes her form an interesting contrast when she is frightened. Compared with those feminine horror film heroines, who are always scared and yelling, this heroine is still more Sensual. However, because all the characters in this movie except the last black aunt needed to make sacrifices, they got more background and in-depth introduction. The characters of the other characters are very flat, there is no past history, no preferences, no relatives, no Emotions are the most basic desire to survive and the feelings of husband and wife or family affection for children are driving everyone's behavior. This leads to the most criticized point of the film. The screenwriter is obviously not careful in this regard.
4. The use of the lens and camera language, the picture
as a horror film, Annabel camera language is a major feature is the use of a certain amount of subjective shots, but in fact it is not more than the color.
5. Clip
one intersection clip played a role in the care of the household sewing, fried in the kitchen popcorn, a television drama quarrel, three lens intersection clip played, women's hand was cut, the main television of men and women The quarrel reached its peak, the popcorn burned, and the audience felt heartfelt nervous, and the editing speed gradually increased. This is a good editing.
6. Set Scenery Art
This film was mainly shot in a large house and an apartment. There are no other arrangements for the set, but one thing is very interesting. It sets a long apartment corridor and a very empty room, so that the lens can be kept in depth. Sensation, and can guarantee the kind of horror in the dark place that is unclear.
Then a good setting is a warehouse on the first floor, where the dark setting is still good, especially for the hostess to stay there for ten minutes, it is also extremely scary.
7. The plot setting and structure
17 minutes, two characters of the cult organization come to kill, they are controlled and shot by the police, the story begins; 24 minutes, two people sleep at night, the inexplicable sewing machine starts to work automatically; 28 minutes, the heroine asks the hero Throw annabelle away; 32 minutes, there was a fire at home, the hostess gave birth, and the two moved; 40 minutes, annabelle returned home; 45 minutes, went out and went home, met the two children upstairs, they drew a picture , Predicted that the child would be killed; 50 minutes, the home record was inexplicably opened, and the heroine was attacked; 55 minutes, the heroine went downstairs to sort out the old things, and was touched by the devil for the first time and frightened the elevator; 60-65 minutes, The black woman officially appeared on the stage and gave the heroine strength; 70 minutes, the heroine was locked in the room again, and the child's life was threatened again; 77 minutes, the godfather took Annebelle away but was attacked by the devil and almost lost her life; the devil finally He appeared, snatched the child, and forced the hostess to lay down her soul. The black woman arrived in time and sacrificed herself to save the child.
It can be seen that the whole plot is torn apart. The skill of the screenwriter is only to create tension and excitement in each scene, but the entire clue level is divided, and there is no clear clue running through each other. The correlation between the plot and the plot is Unclear, the whole film is a strong stimulus on the small plot. In the end, the self-sacrifice of black women is inexplicable. There is no reason at all. It is impossible for a stranger to give up his life to save another stranger's child. The behavior of Lei Feng by the godfather and others is also inexplicable. Even if the screenwriter is more mindful of the motives of each character and the interrelationships, the story will not develop to the point where the brains are as open as it is now.

9. The fit of the theme and the market
Once the domestic grading system is implemented, we can see how huge the ghost film market will be! At that time, many ghost movies of different levels and scales will be swarmed. The influence of ghosts and ghosts on people will really appear. The opposition and contrast with human sentiment will all be new topics and themes. The setting of ghosts and monsters in Chinese culture must be more complete than the American market. It is believed that it will be more successful with the plot of American horror movies.
