The Soul Conjuring series is a near-perfect genre film. Lighting and art alone are enough to learn two pots. Storyboard design and editing are even more textbook-level. Why is it so comfortable, because the classics are classics, and the classics are suitable. Movies have been "dead" in the last century, and being able to deconstruct and copy well is a systematic inheritance. The poorly rated third film is not useless, although its script is developing into a wider field (that is, the witch theme and the protagonist's life experience), it has lost the foreshadowing of the evil spirits due to the length and size of the film (probably. It is deleted), the content is complicated and there is a risk of more than 120 minutes, but the overall style is very close to Wen Ziren, which is not only due to the unified execution of the production team, but also reflected in standardized industrial norms. Moreover, through the design of the main scene of "Boy Exorcism", it is obvious that this is also an adjustment made by the film party to adapt to the broadcast on the Internet platform. In terms of details, several bridges have a lot to do with Fred King's "The Exorcist 73", Rainey Haring's "Nightmare Street 4", Hitchcock's "Psycho", Kubrick's "The Shining". The parody and reference of ” all reflect the professionalism and accumulation of the Soul Conjuring team and the new line of films, as well as Wen Ziren’s super-high understanding and application ability of genre films (he is at least a screenwriter and producer). Objectively speaking, The Conjuring 3 is not a failure, it is just closer to the passing line.
