I just watched this film, and I was drowsy for almost two hours. Generally, a drowsy movie is the most important characteristic of a bad movie. Movies are made for the general public, not for a certain person. No matter how high the industry evaluation is, it is useless. The common people's viewing experience is everything.
First of all, as a whole, this film is a continuation of the mink, and it is extremely boring. In fact, the change from temperature director to temperature supervisor has initially indicated bad luck
Secondly, as a horror film, this film is basically not scary. Wen Ziren's horror aesthetics is good at creating a long atmosphere, and it is presented through various details, which has always made people feel uneasy. This film has no atmosphere at all, it is a shock, it is tangible and intangible, it is just an empty shell
Thirdly, the structure of the film is chaotic, the plot is not smooth, the camera switching is unnatural and too rigid, and many camera switching makes people incomprehensible, just like writing an article without any rules, with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, the camera connection is too scattered, messy, It is rigid and lacks fluency, resulting in the inefficiency and emptiness expressed by the lens. In addition, the film uses some slow motion, and the illusion of reality alternates vertically and horizontally, which further accentuates the emptiness of the film. My experience is that slow motion is not easy to use well, and once it is not used well, it will be annoying. The two-line approach of alternating reality and memory, parallelism of reality and illusion, etc., is the easiest to make a bad movie, and the director wants to pretend Force, self-defeating nine times out of ten.
Finally, I would like to recommend an early work by Wen Ziren (Dead Silence). The plot of the whole film is very smooth and novel, and the classic details emerge in an endless stream. I remember that when I first watched it, I was amazed and scared, and I was addicted to the mystery created by the whole film. This film is less than 1/10,000 of Wen Ziren's early works. However, the director of this film is still very hardworking. He is on the set every day, jumping up and down, which coincides with the bells and whistles of the film.
