In general, the advantage of pseudo-documentaries is that they have a strong sense of substitution. The disadvantage that is more likely to appear is that the narrative is fragmented and fragmented, and it is difficult to naturally string everything together into a logical and clear story. This work has this problem. The story is not clear enough, which makes people confused. In the end, I didn't understand what happened to this haunted house and what happened in the basement. I guess because the previous owner of the hotel was a cultist, probably through sacrifices and rituals, the house turned into a passage where evil spirits could enter and harm living beings. But why did these few people live for many days at the beginning and only play small things, and finally came to a big one on the opening day, is it because the evil spirits are accumulating power? Can the evil spirits know when they open? And these evil spirits are not afraid of the crowd, but why did they calm down after the police came? Are they also afraid of the police? In addition, I personally think that the defect of this film is that the image of the "ghost" is not well shaped. It is basically presented through dolls, and the impact is very weak.
Finally, let’s talk about a few main characters. To be honest, I don’t think the characters’ explanations are clear. I don’t think there is any obstacle to foreign names.
Alex: The head of the haunted house gang, I don't know what conspiracy or hardship he has to build this haunted house. If it is realistic, it may be economical reasons, and finally hanged in the attic.
Sara: Alex's girlfriend, who was interviewed by the female reporter Diane, was actually killed by Paul during the haunted house riot. Several years have passed, and Sara seems to be wearing the clothes of the year when she is interviewed. There is obviously a problem.
Mac: Long face, Alex's iron buddy, the most staunch supporter, should also be hanged in the attic later.
Paul: Curly, the first person in charge of the camera, the room he lives in actually has no door, an accident is almost inevitable. The first time he recorded a video before going to bed at night, it was suspected that Sara was passing through the door. I think it is the scariest part of the film. He is also the first unlucky ghost who was possessed or taken away, and finally killed Sara and then committed suicide by cutting his throat.
Tony: Paul was in charge of the camera after the accident. He wanted to leave on the eve of the opening. I don't know what Mac said about Alex to convince him. I'm very curious about this part. I ended up running in front of the Mac to see what was going on in the basement, and ended up being locked in the basement.
Melissa: A very cute girl. She's unlucky. She's in charge of playing the handcuffed person in the basement. She should end up miserably.
Joey: Playing as a clown in the basement. He has the key to Melissa's handcuffs. He seems to be one of the first people to escape after the accident in the basement. As a result, Melissa can only be locked there. It's pathetic. He hanged himself at home nine days after the incident.
Diane: Female reporter, the girl who appeared at the beginning is in charge of interviewing Sara. In my opinion, she is not very good at asking questions as a reporter. Later, I was too curious to go to the haunted house to explore, and of course, I ended up hanging up with my own photographer.
