Let me talk about the plot first. The big flaw of the film is that the main line is unknown, and it seems to be a splicing of various supernatural plots. We know that there is a problem with the doll. But it is said that it is a ghost possessed, why is there three souls attached to it? A little girl, a female neighbor who seemed to be dead, and a black ceiling monster, the film did not give an answer. Then there are the logic and common sense problems that science students like me can't bear the most. The hostess is so powerful that she can knock off the metal doorknob with a wooden chair at once; how dare she go back to the room alone after she realizes that there is a problem with the house, or why she doesn't use a materialist approach to see a psychologist. I think these are the most unbearable places I can't stand.
Then look at the filming itself. The doll is rather weird, but it is a pity that it has a prototype, so it is not the director's credit. Actors’ acting skills need to be improved. Too many screen changes make people feel "a little scared" emotions can’t be maintained coherently, and more terrifying images are not done carefully (for example, after the heroine sees the little girl in white for the first time, the little girl changes The dead female neighbor suddenly floated over and grabbed the hostess’s neck. At least one neighbour must be added here to smile slyly. It’s not scary at all to hide her face with her hair and not see anything. There are also dolls too. Be good, if it occasionally smiles or turns its eyes, it will be more terrifying). Generally speaking, it cannot mobilize the audience's sense of fear.
The biggest selling point of this film is that the story is adapted from a real story, and in reality the doll is indeed locked in a glass cabinet. So realism can add some points to the film. But think about it, this doll can only use frightening or threatening methods to make humans offer their souls, indicating that it can't directly claim human lives like "Reaper Is Coming". Does it reduce the horror of the film? Minute?
Irresponsible explanation: I am a materialist, and I have a bit of a serious problem with my own bone-picking and analysis of the horror model, so I don’t think this film is horrible. But the girl I watched with me still couldn't sleep at night after watching it under cover. So don't judge the horror of a horror film by the evaluation of others, everyone has their own Lin Daiyu. I wish you all a happy movie watching (• ̀ω• ́ )✧
