1. Advantages
First of all, the picture is really beautiful, there are many scenes that can be directly captured as the desktop background, and it shows the weird style of the Cthulhu system very well. Because of this, I give one more star. This picture is worth seeing.
The plot is very simple: a meteorite falls on the farmer's house, and there is an alien force (or life?) on it, which can change life in the form of light, so the farmer's family is in tragedy.
2. Disadvantages
First, the atmosphere is not tense enough, because it is a rare bright style, and the picture is not dark, it is indeed difficult to cause enough psychological pressure on the audience, but the slow rhythm is also one of the reasons. Movies are not like novels, they cannot be explained in a straightforward manner. The time ahead should be compressed. For example, old couples fall in love with each other. They can be skipped completely. A few warm scenes are enough, and sex scenes can be saved.
The second is that the family's intelligence is obviously insufficient, which makes people feel that they are self-inflicted and self-inflicted, and NO is NODEAD, which cannot arouse the sympathy of the audience. Since I don't worry about the role, I naturally don't feel nervous.
1. The first to appear is a superstitious daughter, believe in a certain religion, and pray for her mother. At this time, she was quite normal, except for riding without shoes, and there was no intellectual disability.
But the second time I prayed for blessings, it was abnormal. I cut myself with bruises and wounds with a knife, obviously already a mad believer. However, the signs just appeared at that time, only the mother cut off her finger when chopping vegetables, everyone thought that the mother was careless, and did not feel anything unusual. Rather than my daughter's foresight, it made me feel more like a psychotic episode and a mental disorder.
Then her brother went into the well to save the dog and was engulfed by Caiguang. She was forcibly taken away by her father. She just wanted to escape for herself along the way. She didn't know how to tell her brother what happened to her and let her find a way to save people.
In the end, after her father's death, she was in complete despair. The main man took her away, and she didn't leave, and finally disappeared in color.
2. The second one is the youngest son. He looks retarded at first sight. He wears high glasses. He never communicates with others. He just stares at the well in a daze, saying that there is a friend in the well. At the end of the whole play, I didn't hear him say the second sentence.
3. The eldest son is still a normal person at first. He can smoke marijuana, play computer games, and herd alpacas. He knows to run away when he is in danger. The director had no choice but to force him down, otherwise he wouldn't be killed. Since feeding the alpacas, it's not normal. After he finished herding the sheep, he didn't put the alpaca in the pen; after his sister reminded him, he said I remembered to close it? The result still doesn't matter. Finally, my father came back and scolded me. It is known that the color light will only change the body, not the memory of the person, so he is really fine.
After a series of strange incidents, he decided to leave with his sister, but he went down to save the dog. The first one has a problem with the well itself, and it will shine brightly. Everyone already knows it. Second, he looked at it for a long time. The third mother and brother are like that, can you still care about the dog? Animal protectionism kills people!
4. My mother is the only normal person from the beginning to the end. She can also speculate in stocks and finance, which shows that she has a certain intelligence. It's impossible to turn into a monster in the end.
5. Dad is the one with the most problems. After all, he is the head of the family and plays a decisive role. If he is not stupid, the play will not go on. Dad is an ancestral farmer. He went to paint when he was young, but he did nothing. Later, he inherited his father's manor and became a farmer. It’s nothing to drop a meteorite, it’s no big deal for a meteorite to attract thunder and lightning, and it’s no big deal if the meteorite disappears. Flowers suddenly grow on the ground, and the fruits are not delicious, which is normal, and I don't spray them either. The skin on my arm is seriously abnormal. I don't know if I go to the hospital. Maybe the hospital charges too high, and I can't afford it without medical insurance, so I put up with it. But what happened next really had to be sprayed.
The wife and son were turned into conjoined twins by Caiguang. He was going to be sent to the hospital, but after shooting the alpaca, he wanted to kill his wife because of the murderous heart or something. Not to mention conjoined people, even if they are bitten by a zombie, they will definitely die, and they will soon become zombies. Ordinary people will just lock them in the house, and there is no way to start immediately, right? Unless his wife begged him to shoot. The car is just out of battery, just charge it, go to the hospital the next day, what if it can be cured? Even if I can't go to the hospital, I think I need to observe it for a few more days. It's not the time for complete despair. And there is only one car in the whole family. When my son is so old, don't buy him a car, go out to find a girlfriend or something? At least you have to have a truck to sell milk and vegetables, right? There are always bikes, right?
Then he asked his son and daughter to leave, not himself. The reason for not leaving is not to give up his life to take care of his wife, but because he is reluctant to part with this farm. Please, didn't you want to be a painter before? From raising four alpacas with no milk and saying that you can't grow good vegetables, you are a novice farmer at all. When did you have such a deep relationship with the land? If you can't bear it, can you call the police? It can only be said that in American movies, Americans have always been anarchic.
Then he didn't want to save Luojing's son, but forcibly locked his daughter with his wife, saying that the family should be together, the daughter screamed in fright, and he didn't open the door, which was obviously insane. The funny thing is, he was the one who shot his wife to save his daughter in the end, so what do you want?
In fact, this is the fault of Nicholas Zhao Si. He looks more intellectual and looks like a university professor. If the director chooses a rude old man to play, it will be no problem.
6. The sheriff was also demoted. Usually, the police are dispatched by two people, and they will have a partner. As a result, the sheriff is alone. The male protagonist found the cat bell, indicating that they originally came to find the solitary god, but they came to the witch's house first. After the sheriff broke into the door, he saw that his wife was stunned. Instead, it was the father who fired the gun. How did you become the sheriff? Then at the door, Dad raised his gun, and the sheriff shot him dead without hesitation. . . American police are awesome.
3. Real Story Analysis
In the end, the daughter showed color, and the scene in the color light was similar to the mark on her forehead, which was very unusual.
Combined with the narration at the beginning of the film: This is an ancient town called Arkham, full of legends of witches. So the truth emerges.
The daughter is a witch (though she didn't realize it herself), and her prayer at the beginning of the film has actually been successful.
There are two main requirements in her wish: one is to cure her mother's cancer, and the other is to take her out of this place.
This wish came true like a monkey's paw.
The evil god summoned a meteorite to her house, in the form of the union of the young son and the mother, "cured" the mother's cancer, and finally took her out of this world.
