How should I put it, this is a complete remake, with almost no other details, not even some details of the Hong Kong version, such as Cher seeing the little boy's report card in the stairwell and seeing the little boy's posthumous photo Wait, better than the original is the realistic special effects, especially the grim reaper, which is much scarier than the original in a suit. But I feel like this Reaper looks like a Dementor.
Is it appropriate to move an Asian story to Hollywood? Will the United States reject a person who sees a vision so much? The answer is NO. And the presence of ghosts in the elevator is a real failure. Westerners also don't understand why boys' report cards are so important. The most awkward part is saving people before the end. In the Hong Kong version, Cher yelled at people to leave, but no one believed her, while the American version showed heroism, and people believed her and ran away from death. After looking at the two endings, I still like the first ending, which is more harmonious with the whole film.
It can be seen that JESSCIA tried very hard to get rid of the vase, and showed the panic and struggle of a blind woman very well. At that time, Li Xinjie became a first-line actress with this film, which is not without reason. Her performance is more explosive than JESSCIA.
The cultural differences between China and the West make this film seem nondescript. Fortunately, it is not very disappointing, at least the heroine is very eye-catching.
